The workshop

Saturated with components.
Starved of systems.

Ipswich River Labs is a one-person New England shop. The comms and mapping world is full of parts and empty of systems — a radio here, an app there, and a lot of taped-together kit that nobody can run under stress. We ship the finished thing instead.

We don't track you. No analytics, no ad pixels, no third parties. We store the email you hand us — plus the signup date, page, and consent version, nothing else — in our own database, so we can tell you when a drop lands. The whole policy fits on one card. US-domestic sales only.

How we build

  • You own the wires. Self-hosted, offline-first, no account required to function, no phone-home.
  • Turnkey that opens. Documented, modular, standard connectors, published BOMs, field-repairable.
  • Licensing handled. GMRS vs MURS vs Part 90, done right for you. Encryption only where lawful.
  • Degrades to paper. Every electronic deliverable has a paper failure mode. Works in gloves.
  • Open, American-made, small-batch. Open where we can. Built here. US-domestic sales only.
