Stay reachable when the site network fails

Keep access to your TinyPilot when a bad switch config, firewall change, or other onsite network failure takes down your usual path. Pathfinder fails over to LTE so you can still reach the console and fix what broke.

Plug-and-play cellular, provided by OptConnect

Order Pathfinder from TinyPilot. OptConnect ships the cellular router and handles activation, data, and ongoing cellular service, so you get LTE failover without managing carriers yourself.

Finds a path with Zero Trust overlays

When paired with a Zero Trust overlay like Tailscale, Pathfinder finds a path to keep you connected to your TinyPilot even when the onsite network is down. 

Share failover across multiple TinyPilots

Connect your first TinyPilot over Ethernet, then join additional TinyPilots to Pathfinder’s Wi-Fi access point. A second or third TinyPilot can use the same cellular failover path without a second Pathfinder.

Automatic failover between wired and LTE

Use the site network when it’s healthy. When that path fails, Pathfinder switches to cellular automatically, so break-glass access doesn’t depend on someone manually changing cables or SIMs.

Built for TinyPilot out-of-band access

Pathfinder is for keeping TinyPilot reachable, not for backing up site internet for the whole office. Deploy it as the out-of-band path so you can recover the network you just broke.
