Put two phones on two different networks — one on LTE, one on a home Wi-Fi a county away — and they can't see each other. No shared map, no chat, no markers. A TAK server sits in the middle and fixes that: every device connects to it, and everything one user puts on the map reaches the rest of the team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRunning one yourself means a VPS, a domain, TLS certificates, firewall rules, updates, backups, and someone to fix it when it stops answering at 2 a.m. This service hands you the server and keeps all of that off your plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlans are sized by how many members your server has.

Every connected device sends its position and receives everyone else's, so 20 members means far more traffic than 5. Video streams, voice calls and hosted data — data packages, maps, photos and mission files — each take processor time, memory, bandwidth and storage, and that load adds up per user. Larger tiers run on a server sized to carry it, so the map stays responsive when everyone is on at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT IT COSTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e$50 onboarding, one time\u003c\/strong\u003e — we build, configure and secure your server and set up your district47.dev address.
