Features/Offline Operation
Offline-First Operation

No internet. No tower. Still operational.

LANCE runs entirely on the LoRa mesh — no internet, LTE, Wi-Fi or TAK server required. It isn't an online tool with an offline mode bolted on; disconnected operation is the design.

OFFLINE MODE4 NODES
01

The mesh is the network

Positions, markers, shapes and range objects move peer-to-peer across the LoRa mesh, hop by hop. There's no central server in the path and nothing to phone home to — the network exists wherever your radios do.

02

No server dependency

LANCE does not require TAK Server, cellular or Wi-Fi to function. Where a server happens to be reachable, reconstructed positions can optionally be relayed to it — but that's an add-on, never a prerequisite.

03

Designed around the disconnect

In disconnected environments the link is the variable that matters. LANCE keeps that honest — acknowledgement-based delivery and live telemetry mean you can see what actually got through, instead of assuming a silent network is a working one.

04

Bridge to a server when you have one

If part of your operation does have connectivity, the relay-to-server path can forward reconstructed positions onward — a light scope on Pro, full organizational scope on Enterprise. The mesh stays the source of truth in the field.

Set expectationsLANCE is a resilient off-grid transport, not a replacement for a full TAK Server's bandwidth or feature set. It carries the field-critical picture, not everything.
FAQ

Offline operation, answered.

Do I need a TAK Server?
No. LANCE operates fully over the LoRa mesh without one. A server is optional, only used if you choose to relay reconstructed positions where connectivity exists.
Does it really work with no internet at all?
Yes. Once your radio is paired over Bluetooth, the core operation runs entirely on LoRa — no internet, LTE or Wi-Fi needed.
What if some teammates have coverage and others don't?
Everyone on the mesh shares the same off-grid picture. Where a connected node can reach a server, the optional relay path can bridge positions onward without changing how the field side operates.
Is this a TAK Server replacement?
No. It's a resilient transport for when servers and cellular aren't available. It carries the essential, field-relevant picture rather than matching a full server's capacity.
