For HP Wolf Security

The missing offline mode for Protect & Trace Wi-Fi.

HP's Wi-Fi tier can't reach a PC that's offline. Troverlo can — on the same Wi-Fi radio HP already ships, with zero new BOM, zero carrier dependency, zero network connectivity, and zero upgrade wall. An offline connectivity upgrade to the tier you already sell.

HP already runs the right two-tier structure. Troverlo extends the lower tier — without touching the upper one.

HP sells two distinct Protect & Trace tiers today. Protect & Trace with Wolf Connect — the premium, cellular-backed tier — is HP's exclusive offline/powered-down capability, and per HP's own datasheet delivers "the highest level of assurance… even if the target PC is off". It ships on select G10-and-later EliteBook, ProBook 400+ and mobile workstation SKUs, ordered at time-of-PC-purchase only.

The other tier — Protect & Trace, Wi-Fi/Internet only — is HP's mainstream, low-cost answer. It runs on the same WXP backend as Wolf Connect and shares an identical operational model. But per HP's own datasheet, it requires the PC to be powered on and connected to the internet to work. That's where Troverlo comes in.

Wi-Fi only
Protect & Trace's mainstream tier works over any Wi-Fi / Internet connection. Full stop. The moment the PC is offline, it goes dark.

HP's own datasheet is explicit about what the Wi-Fi tier can't do.

From HP Wolf Protect and Trace Datasheet (Wi-Fi / Internet): "HP Protect and Trace works over any Wi-Fi / Internet connection… For the highest level of assurance, consider Protect and Trace with Wolf Connect, which works over cellular communications, even if the target PC is off."

Troverlo's connectionless Wi-Fi observation runs on the radio the PC already carries — no cellular module, no active internet session, no association, no handshake. Same category of outcome as the Wolf Connect cellular tier's find-lock-erase promise, but delivered from the Wi-Fi radio a PC keeps in a low-power beacon state even when the user thinks it's "off the network."

HP has told these customers there's no path forward. That's the population Troverlo serves.

From HP's own Wolf Connect FAQ: "Customers who purchase HP Wolf Protect and Trace (which only supports Wi-Fi connectivity) cannot upgrade to HP Protect and Trace with Wolf Connect."

It's a hard SKU wall — once a PC ships Wi-Fi-only, the cellular door is permanently closed. That's the fleet Troverlo unlocks. Not by challenging the Wolf Connect SKU, and not by asking HP to redesign a motherboard. By running a firmware-only connectionless payload on the Wi-Fi radio that's already in the box.

Jonathan Gohstand told Spiceworks at the 2023 launch: "most people don't put [broadband cards] in their PCs." That's HP's own on-record acknowledgment of where the fleet actually sits. The overwhelming majority of the ~53-57M PCs HP ships every year are Wi-Fi-only — including nearly the entire desktop line, most ProBook / entry commercial configurations, and every consumer machine. Troverlo's TAM inside HP is that population.

Wolf Connect eligible ~10-15%

Select G10+ EliteBook, ProBook 400+, mobile workstation SKUs. At time-of-purchase only.

Wi-Fi-only, no upgrade path ~85%+

Consumer, most commercial, desktop, workstation. Every PC HP has already sold Wi-Fi-only.

Connectionless Wi-Fi observation. Firmware only. No new BOM.

Troverlo runs a firmware-only payload on the Wi-Fi radio HP already ships. Beacon and scan only. Same power class as BLE. No data connection, no association, no handshake, no consumer setup. Every Wi-Fi HP PC becomes both an observation point and an observable asset — visible from power-on, whether the user is at their desk, on public Wi-Fi, at home, or truly offline.

01

Locate

Continuous position visibility on any Wi-Fi HP PC — no cellular radio, no active network session, no user login. The find capability Wolf Connect promises, delivered from the Wi-Fi radio you already ship.

02

Command & control

Lock and erase directives ride the same connectionless observation rail. Every Wi-Fi HP PC is not just observable — it's addressable, whether it's online or not.

03

Zero new BOM

No cellular module, no antenna work, no motherboard changes, no Endpoint Security Controller re-wiring. Firmware payload on the Wi-Fi radio HP is already shipping today.

04

Zero carrier dependency

No LTE subscription, no MNB coverage map, no country-specific cellular regulation. Runs anywhere HP ships PCs.

An ingredient inside HP's existing operational model, not a rip-and-replace.

HP's own Wolf Connect solution brief already confirms the integration pattern: "A PC fleet with a mix of Protect and Trace and Protect and Trace with Wolf Connect PCs is supported in the same WXP instance, with the common operational model."

Troverlo slots into that identical mixed-fleet model as a third source of transport — Wolf Connect (cellular) for the assurance tier, Protect & Trace (Wi-Fi/Internet) for the online mainstream tier, and Troverlo (connectionless Wi-Fi observation) for the offline mainstream fleet HP has no answer for today. Same WXP tenant. Same operational language. Same fleet visibility surface. HP's IT customers manage a single fleet, HP's product team gets to sell a genuinely offline-capable Wi-Fi tier for the first time.

HP's own product organization is already moving in this direction.

In May 2025, HP Wolf Security publicly launched a new low-cost Wi-Fi version of Protect & Trace, narrated on video by Jonathan Gohstand himself. In April 2026, HP messaged full WXP integration of both variants as a unified, mixable fleet model — "Protect & Trace Wi-Fi and Wolf Connect" in the same breath.

HP's multi-year trajectory is broadening the reach of the Wolf Connect brand promise via Wi-Fi economics. Troverlo isn't asking HP to change direction — Troverlo is the technology that lets HP finish the direction it's already publicly moving in. The offline capability the Wi-Fi tier is missing today. Ready now. Runs on the Wi-Fi radio HP already ships.

30 minutes.

A walk-through of the two-tier fit, the connectionless Wi-Fi mechanism, and a reference architecture that plugs into WXP alongside Protect & Trace and Wolf Connect. Happy to start with the no-upgrade-path population — customers HP itself says can never receive cellular, but where a firmware payload can extend Wolf-Connect-grade offline reliability to the PCs they already own.
