The Pawnee Power GenSet is an industrial-grade, continuous-duty off-grid power plant designed to rewrite the rules of standalone baseload power. It delivers an incredible 45 kW of continuous clean power (60 kW peak) from a highly compact footprint. Engineered around a licensed Rotapower® 530cc multi-rotor rotary core, this generator operates with only three main moving parts, reducing field maintenance to almost zero. It is natively multi-fuel capable—running on diesel, jet fuel, gasoline, or synthetic biofuels—and utilizes water-jacketed liquid cooling and spark-arresting noise-suppression systems to deliver reliable power with a minimal thermal and acoustic signature. Unmatched Simplicity: Only three main moving parts (rotor, eccentric shaft, gears). Tactical Fuel Flexibility: Operates on standard fuels, aviation fuel, and local synthetic biofuels. Signature Suppression: Cooled exhaust gases and silent balance mountings minimize thermal and acoustic detection.
- [WISP-in-a-Box Agentic (Autonomous Sync & AI Gateway)](https://dereticular.com/product/wisp-in-a-box-agentic-autonomous-sync-ai-gateway/) - The Edge Has a Mind of Its Own. And It Is 100% Offline. Siri, Alexa, and cloud-based AI assistants are useless when you lose cell coverage—and worse, they leak your precise GPS coordinates, personal schedules, and financial transactions back to corporate servers. The WISP-in-a-Box Agentic is the crown jewel of our communications stack: a fully local, zero-trust AI operations coordinator that runs entirely at the edge. By pairing the rugged dual-WAN hardware of Product 2 with DeReticular's Sovereign Telemetry Core (RIOS-TC-01), this system runs an air-gapped, edge-native AI assistant on local TPU hardware. It securely processes natural language, automates complex scheduling, and manages peer-to-peer vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) state synchronization over Trifi mesh networks—keeping your entire fleet, companion rigs, and drone assets on the exact same page in offline "Island Mode." Air-Gapped AI Coordinator: Local scheduling, calendar tracking, and $SVRN ledger execution. V2V State Sync: Keeps companion vehicles and drones aligned over local mesh networks. Industrial-Grade Storage: Banish data corruption with a fast 256GB NVMe SSD (no fragile MicroSD cards).
- [WISP-in-a-Box Base (Sovereign Network Gateway)](https://dereticular.com/product/wisp-in-a-box-base-sovereign-network-gateway/) - The Battery is Dead. Long Live the WISP. Consumer electronics are designed for air-conditioned coffee shops, not the dashboard of a vehicle baking in the high-desert sun. Leave a standard lithium-ion mobile hotspot on your rig at 70°C, and it will swell, fail, or trigger a thermal shutdown (the infamous "Spicy Pillow" effect). The WISP-in-a-Box Base is DeReticular's ruggedized answer to connectivity fragility. By combining a battery-free, solid-state cellular compressor with a structural mounting strap for your Starlink Business Kit and an onboard pfSense firewall router, we have created an unbreakable network gateway that boots instantly when you turn your vehicle's key. Battery-Free Engineering: Powered directly off your vehicle’s 12V–48V DC bus. Starlink Business Ready: Includes a heavy-duty structural anchor strap. pfSense Onboard: Localized security, firewalls, and VPNs at the edge.
