OFF-GRID COMMUNICATION: 7 OPTIONS TO CONSIDER

These original forms of off-grid communication weren’t invented for fun. They provided a very important lifeline for homesteaders, farmers, and others up until the 20th century.

It might sound crazy to a millennial, but people used to communicate using all sorts of different non-electric signals.

1. SATELLITE PHONE

Satellite phones draw their signal from satellites orbiting the earth, rather than a land-based cell tower.

2. GPS MESSENGER BEACON

The device has an SOS function that transmits your GPS location with an emergency signal to search and rescue teams.

3. HAM RADIO

HAM radios use radio frequencies to exchange messages or broadcast emergency calls. They have been used for well over a century, and their reliability has helped them stay relevant to this day.

4. CELLPHONE

The most common form of modern-day communications, you’ve probably already thought about using your cellphone off-grid.

5. MESH NETWORKS

A mesh network device will connect to your cellphone and allow you to create your own local network. This will then allow you to communicate with other mesh compatible devices in your area.
