Bozeman, Montana – The new wireless communication system is perfect fit for large groups of people traveling through the wilderness, ski resorts, spring break parties, concerts, etc. that want a way to stay in touch where there is no Wi-Fi or cell phone coverage due to congested networks or natural disasters. The small Beartooth communicator connects via Bluetooth to Android and Apple iPhones for text, voice messaging and GPS location services.

The unit has its own sub-1 GHz antennas that can connect group members with each other or anyone that is a mutual friend in the Beartooth social network.  With Beartooth, users can talk, text, and find friends on a map, all without cell service or Wi-Fi. Beartooth, which is slightly larger than a deck of cards, pulls double-duty as a backup battery for your smartphone.

Beartooth is now accepting 40% discounted pre-orders for their off-grid communication device, ensuring that you will always stay connected to group members and mutual friends around them. For example, anyone from a college or high school campus could use the Beartooth communicator to locate, call or text mutual friends at a ski resort or on a spring break trip.  The same would be true for police, fireman and emergency first responder teams descending on a natural disaster scene. Communication and location would be instantaneous.

Unlike traditional handheld radios that are cumbersome and difficult to use, Beartooth pairs with your smartphone to quickly and simply connect with other Beartooth users in range. No need to worry about confusing channel settings, radio protocols, and button sequences. All of Beartooth’s powerful functionality is available at the touch of a finger in a format easily recognizable to the user. Download the app, pair the device, and go explore.

“Beartooth was born in Bozeman at Bridger Bowl Ski Area. Company cofounder, Kevin Ames, and I were separated with no service,” said Michael Monaghan, Beartooth CEO and cofounder. “After several hours we finally re-connected and promptly started working on a solution. Kevin is a former smokejumper and radio communications operator who spent his career working in environments with no cellular or Wi-Fi service. It was natural to enable the smartphone carried daily to communicate off grid.”

Whether you are skiing fresh powder in the backcountry or dancing at Coachella, you can now reliably stay in contact with your group in ways that were previously unavailable. During the limited 30-day pre-order campaign, Beartooth is available for $249 per pair, 40% off the MSRP of $399.
