XTOC 0.2.83 XCOM 1.0.103
This release focuses on improving communications workflows, mesh-network operations, operator efficiency, and multi-mission management across XTOC and XCOM. Major additions include NetLogger integration, the new Mesh 2.0 dashboard, browser-based OpenMANET push-to-talk, and support for multiple operational profiles.
XTOC — Command & Control Enhancements
NetLogger Integration (New)
XTOC now integrates directly with NetLogger, allowing operators to view and manage active nets without leaving the platform.
New Capabilities
- View live active nets
- Browse live check-ins
- Filter and search active sessions
- Copy net details into operational plans
- Start local net sessions
- Add stations to operational tracking
- Log heard stations
- Record QSOs
Local QSO Logging
Because XTOC does not include a dedicated Logbook page, a new Local QSO Log system has been added.
Features include:
- Local contact storage
- CSV export
- ADIF export
- Quick QSO capture directly from NetLogger activity
Reliability Improvements
A new NetLogger proxy system prevents browser blocking and API rate-limit issues.
Benefits include:
- Local caching
- Request throttling
- Reduced API load
- Improved reliability
Live Fetch Control
Added a new Live Fetches toggle.
When disabled:
- Auto-refresh stops
- NetLogger API calls stop
- Refresh controls are disabled
- Cached data remains available
This provides operators full control over bandwidth usage during deployments.
Mesh 2.0 Dashboard (New)
A completely new Mesh 2.0 experience has been added while preserving the original Mesh page as a fallback.
Supported Networks
- Meshtastic
- MeshCore
Connection Options
- BLE
- HTTP
- Direct connection paths
New Dashboard Features
- Live node status
- Radio RX/TX activity
- Packets per minute
- Signal metrics
- Battery status
- Channel utilization
- Known and newly discovered nodes
Node Roster
Searchable node roster now includes:
- Last heard timing
- RSSI
- SNR
- Hop count
- Channel information
- Direct message workflows
Tactical Mesh Map
A new dedicated mesh map provides:
- Tactical AO starting position
- Independent map persistence
- Separate pan/zoom memory
- GPS validation filtering
- Dark operational map theme
Additional Views
- Links
- Routes
- Sensors
- Top 10 Nodes
- Chat
These tools make large mesh deployments easier to understand and manage.
OpenMANET Push-To-Talk (New)
A dedicated OpenMANET PTT page has been added.
Operators can now use browser-based voice communications directly through OpenMANET infrastructure.
Features
- Hold-to-talk operation
- RX/TX channel selection
- Microphone selection
- Speaker selection
- Live browser audio
Operational Uses
- Convoy coordination
- Gate control
- Shelter operations
- Branch communications
- Drone and ISR handoffs
- FOB management
- Safety traffic
Packet traffic, forms, and logs continue to serve as the durable operational record while voice traffic provides immediate communications.
Multi-Profile Support (New)
Operators can now save and manage multiple operational profiles.
Profile Features
- Save Active Profile
- Save As
- Load Profile
- Create New Blank Profile
- Rename Profile
- Delete Profile
Benefits
Profiles are stored separately from operational data, allowing users to maintain multiple Areas of Operations, exercises, teams, or customer deployments without overwriting previous configurations.
XCOM — Field Operations Updates
Enhanced Logbook
The Logbook has received several usability improvements.
Callsign Intelligence Lookup
Operators can now:
- Check callsign information before saving a QSO
- Open callsign details directly from saved log entries
- Review callsign context without leaving the logbook
Mobile Improvements
- Responsive modal layouts
- Improved button sizing
- Better table interaction
- Mobile-friendly callsign popups
NetLogger Integration
XCOM now includes full NetLogger support.
Features
- Active net monitoring
- Live check-ins
- Cluster selection
- Station management
- Net activity tracking
One-Click QSO Logging
NetLogger contacts can now be sent directly to the Logbook.
Automatically prefilled fields include:
- Callsign
- Frequency
- Mode
- Band
- Grid Square
- Notes
This dramatically speeds up logging operations during active nets.
Mesh 2.0 Dashboard
XCOM now includes the same Mesh 2.0 platform introduced in XTOC.
Features Include
- Mesh node monitoring
- Tactical mesh mapping
- Links and routes visualization
- Sensors
- Top 10 node analysis
- Chat
- Direct messaging
- Signal and route awareness
Real Map Integration
Mesh 2.0 now uses the actual map engine instead of a placeholder topology display.
Operators can view:
- Live node locations
- Tactical overlays
- Geographic mesh coverage
When no GPS-equipped nodes are present, the map displays a waiting status while maintaining full map functionality.
OpenMANET PTT
The new browser-based PTT system is also available in XCOM.
Field operators can communicate directly over OpenMANET networks using:
- Voice channels
- Device microphone selection
- Speaker routing
- Hold-to-talk operation
No external applications are required.
Multi-Profile Support
XCOM now supports multiple operational profiles.
Advantages
- Separate mission configurations
- Independent exercise setups
- Multiple customer environments
- Faster AO switching
Profile loading is isolated from normal backup and restore workflows to prevent accidental cross-contamination between deployments.
Documentation and Training Updates
Documentation has been expanded throughout the X Suite.
New Coverage Includes
- NetLogger workflows
- Mesh 2.0 operations
- OpenMANET PTT setup
- Multi-profile management
- Mesh relay scenarios
- Shelter coordination workflows
- Damage assessment operations
- FOB relay operations
- Night-objective control procedures
Disaster and MILSIM guides have been updated with new real-world deployment examples and operational playbooks.
Summary
This release significantly improves operator communications, mesh-network visibility, and mission management.
Key highlights include:
- NetLogger integration
- Mesh 2.0 dashboard
- Browser-based OpenMANET push-to-talk
- Multi-profile support
- Enhanced QSO logging
- Tactical mesh mapping
- Improved communications workflows
The result is a more connected, more organized, and more operationally capable X Suite for both command staff and field operators.
