PRECISION TRACKING.
EVERY MILE.
Live race dashboards with real-time position data—where cellular networks don't reach. Purpose-built for ultra-endurance events in the most remote terrain.
THE PROBLEM WITH RACE TRACKING
Most tracking systems rely on cellular networks. When your course crosses mountain passes, canyons, and wilderness—the places that make ultra events extraordinary—those systems go dark. Race directors lose visibility. Crews lose updates. And when a runner misses a checkpoint, the response window stretches from minutes to hours.
Tracios was built to eliminate that gap.
BUILT FOR THE BACKCOUNTRY
A full-stack tracking platform powered by LoRa mesh networking and custom firmware.
LoRa Mesh Network
Long-range radio mesh with 250+ mile coverage through mountain terrain. No cellular towers, no dead zones.
Offline Maps
Full course visualization that works without internet. Race command sees every runner, every aid station, in real time.
SOS & Safety
One-touch emergency alerts with GPS coordinates delivered directly to race command. Seconds, not minutes.
Real-Time Updates
30-60 second position updates via custom compressed protocol. Not the 10+ minute delays of satellite-based competitors.
THE STACK
Custom hardware. Custom firmware. Custom protocol. Every layer engineered for reliability in the field.
Hardware
Custom Rust firmware on LoRa-capable devices. Lightweight trackers for runners, solar-powered relay nodes for course infrastructure.
Mesh Protocol
Proprietary 12-bit packed protocol optimized for low-bandwidth LoRa. Every runner is a mesh node—the network grows with the field.
Dashboards
Real-time web dashboards for race directors, aid stations, crew, and spectators. Live position, speed, VAM, and checkpoint status.
Engineering notes from the field.
Deep dives for technical buyers, race operations teams, and partners evaluating how Tracios works when the course leaves cellular coverage.
Designing a LoRa Mesh for Mountain Races
How we place relay nodes, shape retry windows, and keep packets moving when the course disappears behind ridgelines.
Packing Race Telemetry into 12-Byte Packets
Why we compress position, state, and safety signals into extremely small payloads instead of shipping verbose GPS updates over the air.
Building Offline-First Command Maps
How the race-day dashboard keeps operators oriented when tile servers, public internet, or browser refreshes become failure points.
