Haven – MANET IP Mesh Radio (Digital Guide)

⏳ The next 30 orders will get a free 30 minute bonus call with Tim/Data Slayer in a follow up email to review your buld!

⚠️ This is a digital field manual (PDF). No hardware included. You’ll get the exact step-by-step instructions, parts list, and configs to build your own Haven for ~$106 in parts.

Tactical-Grade Networking Without the Tactical-Grade Price Tag

The MPU5 runs over $8,000 per unit—used by military, law enforcement, and special ops teams to create mobile mesh networks in the field. Haven gives you that same mission-critical capability at a fraction of the cost, using hardware you can own, modify, and deploy on your terms.

Built around the Raspberry Pi 4, standard Wi-Fi mesh protocols (802.11s), and optional Wi-Fi HaLow support, Haven delivers a fully portable, private MANET—without recurring fees, cloud logins, or corporate choke points.

What You’ll Learn in the Field Manual

How to build an $8,000 military-grade MANET for $106 — using off-the-shelf parts, no subscriptions, and zero vendor lock-in.

The exact config I used to hit 15 Mbps symmetric throughput — enough for ATAK, live video feeds, and neighborhood fallback networking.

The “secret sauce” of 802.11s mesh networking — why it self-heals, why it matters, and how to make every node talk to every other node without a central route.

How to unlock the range of Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah) — sub-GHz penetration that punches through walls and trees where normal Wi-Fi die.

Why this beats LoRa/Meshtastic alone — stop settling for kbps when you can stream video, move big files, and run a real IP network.

How to plug into Starlink (or any uplink) for instant backhaul — and create a resilient, off-grid, operator-owned internet.

The one component swap that separates hobbyist toys from a deployable MANET kit — hint: it’s not the Pi.

How to combine Haven with Meshtastic/LoRa radios — redundancy + ultra-low-power messaging + HaLow bandwidth for the ultimate hybri.

The step-by-step OpenWRT flashing & config process — no guessing, no endless forum-hunting, just do exactly what’s written and get online.

How to scale from 2 nodes → full neighborhood mesh — and future-proof your setup with antennas, power options, and enclosure.

No Subscriptions. No Cloud. No Guesswork.

Haven is designed for people who want to own their tools. There’s no backend server to pay for. No centralized control. Just open-source software, proven configs, and fully local control.

You get lifetime access to the manual and any future updates as the Haven ecosystem evolves.

Why It’s $97

This is a flagship guide—built from way too many hours of field testing, iteration, and configuration tuning.

This custom Raspberry Pi image is pre-overclocked to boost wireless transmission power from 21dBm to 27dBm — delivering significantly greater range and stronger signal penetration right out of the box. No extra configuration needed — just power up and reach farther.

Plus, you’ll have full control to select channel bandwidth (1, 2, 4, or 8 MHz), letting you optimize for long-range stability or high data rates, depending on your mission.

Compare that to the MPU5 at $8,000. Or even the cost of a single “pro” mesh router with forced cloud control. Haven is priced to reflect the value it delivers—reliable, tactical-grade networking for under $100.

Who It’s For

Off-Grid Builders — if you’ve ever wanted your own subscription-free intranet that works when the grid doesn’t.

ATAK / Field Operators — Create a fully off-grid communications network without needing any uplink, SIM card, or Wi-Fi. Perfect for direct ATAK communication between devices—just power on and your team is connected, anywhere.

Neighborhood Defenders — want a backup network for your block, family, or crew when Comcast or Verizon go dark.

DIY Tech Junkies — turn $106 of commodity hardware into something Big Defense sells for $8,000.

Privacy Hawks — finally own the network itself, without Big Tech clouds or lock-ins.

Preppers & Freedom-First Families — build a resilient, independent comms system for uncertain times.

Entrepreneurs & Innovators — spot the opportunity, productize it, and create the next wave of open-source gear.
