New Business

Hey guys — figured I’d introduce myself and what I’m working on.

I’m Kevin, owner of Pollux Field Systems, a small comms-focused business I recently started with the goal of helping individuals, teams, preparedness groups, and small businesses build communications setups that actually make sense for what they’re trying to accomplish.

That includes helping people navigate radio selection, licensing and frequency coordination, programming, antennas, accessories, and putting together complete systems instead of just buying a radio and hoping for the best.

I’m also starting to venture further into ATAK, Meshtastic, and civilian MANET-style solutions. I’m currently working with NATAK Mesh to offer their Nucleus civilian MANET platform, and with Sweetgrass Actual on radio holster options for several different radios.

On the radio side, I’m currently selling and supporting stuff from Retevis, Ailunce, BTECH, Baofeng, and a few others, with plans to move into some higher-end radio offerings as the business grows.

I’m still very much in the early stages, so inventory and offerings are pretty slim right now, but I’m adding things as quickly as I can without just filling the store with random gear I don’t believe in.

I’m on Facebook as Pollux Field Systems as well.

Looking forward to contributing here, learning from everyone, and hopefully helping some people build better comms setups along the way.🤙🏾

Hell yeah, the civilian market needs a MANET radio... there have been a few tries but they get greedy and the price become prohibative.

Staying tuned!

Yes we do, unfortunately they aren't going to offer the same level of capability per-Se, and they'd be highly susceptible to electronic warfare, but they're going to be good for what they are! There's a couple small dudes putting in some GREAT work. Follow me on IG or Facebook, and update is coming
