About

WanderTag is a purpose-built tracker for people, gear, and loved ones. Primary communication is LoRa via the WanderHaven mesh — works with zero cellular coverage. Fallback to LTE-M/NB-IoT eSIM when mesh isn't available. GPS duty-cycled to extend battery life. Smart power ladder automatically adjusts behavior as battery drains: full features → reduced GPS polling → LoRa beacon only → SOS-only. Anti-stalking safeguards built in. No Apple cloud, no corporate location data.
