If your childhood didn’t include at least one conversation on a walkie talkie, you missed out on a certain type of old-school magic. Establishing a private connection between two people over a distance, the walkie talkie predates the cell phone with technology that is part CB radio and part tin cans with a string between them.
Well, the award-winning tech company Beartooth has brought the walkie talkie into the modern era by establishing an off-the-grid network for your existing smartphone. Users of the Beartooth Smart Walkie Talkie can communicate directly with no need for cell service or Wi-Fi. Miles away from the nearest hotspot or cellular network? No matter. A compact device that pairs with your smartphone through an all-inclusive app, this product allows you to talk, text, and share your location with another Beartooth user — even if you are on a mountaintop, out at sea, or in any other remote location.
