Notifica, the primary ICE rapid-alert app used by immigrant communities, went offline in February 2025 — leaving millions of people in high-enforcement communities without the tool they relied on. ICE deploys mobile Stingray cell-site simulators from unmarked vans to collect device data in targeted neighborhoods — carrier-based communication is compromised in active enforcement environments. 70.8% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. LoRa mesh communication doesn't touch carrier infrastructure and cannot be monitored by Stingray. VAWA I-360 processing takes 41.5-46.5 months (3.5-4 years) — survivors need documentation support starting before the process begins. 5.4 million U.S. citizen children have at least one undocumented parent. When enforcement happens, children need a documented plan. WanderShield Immigration fills the Notifica gap with offline-first, LoRa-capable, carrier-independent infrastructure.

  • 6-digit memorizable code: emergency contacts + document vault from any phone — no carrier needed
  • Notifica replacement: ICE rapid response over LoRa mesh, no carrier infrastructure, no Stingray monitoring
  • Know-your-rights in every language, offline accessible — downloaded before you need it
  • 'If I'm detained' letter auto-sent to designated contacts on trigger
  • Document vault: IDs, rights, contacts accessible by designated advocate when you can't access your phone
  • Camera footage preservation + coordination after enforcement actions
  • Release day coordination: clothing, shelter, food, transport, legal, ankle monitor payment resources
  • Family separation plan: 5.4M US citizen children with undocumented parents need documented contingency
  • VAWA self-petition: I-360 process starts now — 3.5-4 year timeline requires early documentation
  • Family reunification: detention facility locator — people are moved between facilities without notice

Send it back. Prepaid label. Component-level repair, module upgrades, firmware updates. 7-year spare parts guarantee. Donate on return — refurbished hardware goes to shelter and community partners. GPL firmware: the device works even if WanderVerse shuts down.

No hardware subscription — ever

BMW charged $18/mo for heated seats already in your car. GM locked remote start. Eero charges for VPN on hardware that could run it free. We don't do that. You bought it, you own it — every feature works forever, no subscription required. WanderAssist ($9/mo optional) is a convenience layer, never a gate. Safety features are never paywalled.

Pro & Lux tiers — coming

Every WanderVerse hardware product will offer Pro and Lux finish tiers — premium materials and handcrafted finishes by WanderVerse Artisans: supported employment workers with artistic skills. Each Lux unit ships with a Finished By card. Lux revenue cross-subsidizes nonprofit pricing.
