Persistent Systems EU | LPU5 Tactical – DIY Tactical Mesh & LoRa for Airsoft MilSim

Core Features

Tactics Meets Technology – The Key Factors

TAK compatibility, mesh capability, robustness, computing power and LoRa communication – the LPU5 combines everything that matters on the Airsoft and MilSim playing field.

🎯

TAK Compatibility (ATAK/WinTAK)

Full compatibility with the Cursor on Target protocol. Seamless integration with ATAK and WinTAK for professional situational awareness on the playing field.

📡

Meshtastic Mesh Network

Direct integration with Meshtastic devices via Bluetooth LE and Serial. Decentralized mesh communication – offline-capable and perfect for the playing field.

📻

LoRa Communication

Long-range communication via LoRa (Long Range Radio) – several kilometers of range without WiFi or cellular. Ideal for remote playing fields and off-grid scenarios.

🛡️

Rugged & Field-Ready

DIY devices that can take a beating: aluminum housing with robust components – built for use under rough conditions on the Airsoft playing field.

🖥️

Lightweight Server

Compact server structure on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W – power-efficient, lightweight and powerful enough for team joinment, HQ management and real-time tracking.

👥

Team Joinment & HQ

Structured team management with roles, channels and HQ administration. Join teams, coordinate missions and work through scenarios together.

🗺️

Real-Time Tactical Map

Interactive map view with live position updates of all team members. GPS tracking via LoRa or WiFi – on ATAK, web interface or tablet.

📋

Mission Planning

Structured handling of complex scenarios with the 5-point order format. Create missions, share them and coordinate with your team – just like the real deal.

⚡

Computing Power in Mini Format

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W as the heart – compact, Linux-based and with enough power for mesh gateway, web server, GPS tracking and LoRa communication simultaneously.
