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.🤙🏾

Hey everyone!

​

I'll keep this as short as possible, but I've always enjoyed communications and networking stuff in terms of radios, mesh devices, bridges, atak and making that into one big happy "system". I'm also into milsim, but haven't attended any big events yet.

​

That being said, I've had this idea, created purely out of an interest on furthering my knowledge and testing my gear. I've seen stuff about companies renting out NVGs at events, and I'm sure there's a bunch of people renting out radios, but I have this idea. You guys shoot me down if you need to, all criticism is appreciated.

​

I want to create a whole "team setup" starting at radios (with encryption under my business license), ptts, mesh devices (gotenna pro x), Euds, drones, computers, internet, wireless bridges, cameras, etc. Make it scalable from two people all the way to supplying a large portion of the events/units "communications" infrastructure. Now, let's say I had a group people say " we want a squad package for the duration of the event" that could include say 6x radios, 6x ptts, 6 euds, 6 gotennas, 2x ptz cameras for unmanned surveillance, a drone, a computer.. Etc" all hooked to their private tak server for the event. Does this make sense?

​

I'm sparing a lot of the detail, but ask away. Would YOU like something like that? Can you see it being a benefit? Do you think event hosts would like to offer this as part of their registration?

​

Let me know what you guys think!
