Push-to-talk voice and data, SOS with position and messages, phone to phone, on compatible phones running Vizible Zone. No cellular network, no server, no extra device. A communications fallback that complements existing radios and networks.
Switch Vizible Zone off, then on.
Help where there is no signal
In preparation.
An earthquake. A building is down, and so is the network.
A person is trapped inside. Rescuers work the rubble in teams, out of sight of each other, and every phone shows no signal. Nobody can talk, say where they are, or call for help. The same happens in basements, on overseas deployments and when a network is overloaded in a major incident.
The team’s phones keep working, because they never needed the network.
Voice, SOS, positions and messages run directly between the phones: D2D using Direct Mode Operation (DMO).
Today: a trapped person’s phone opens a voice and data channel. Rescuers can hear and answer them.
It tells the rescuers and the command post.
Today, a person presses SOS and the call for help goes out with its position. Teammates talk in their own private group, where an SOS tells them who is calling and where; a phone outside the group hears nothing.
Who is told: the team, the rescuers nearby and the command post. Nobody else.
Your team keeps its voice, its “I am here” and its call for help where the network is gone, on the phones they already carry.
Built for first responders (police, ambulance, rescue teams and the armed forces), for utilities and field crews, and for a person in distress or trapped. It complements existing radios and networks.
Works now, and we can show it to you.
Being built, or shown so far in the lab or in field trials. Not a product yet.
Where we are going. Not built yet.
A building has collapsed and the network is gone. The scene shows what works today: a trapped person’s phone opens a voice and data channel, and the rescuers’ phones nearby receive it directly. Rescuers can hear and answer the trapped person.
Back to the sceneWhen the networks fail, the city will still get the message.
Vision: one alert will cross a whole city, from phone to phone. A call for help will carry its position to the nearest command post. A message will find one person, one team or the command post, and the rest of the city will stay quiet. No cellular network, no internet, nothing extra for residents to carry. Speech will be sent as a short text.
Shown so far in a computer simulation of a whole city. It is not built yet, and it has not been measured in the field. What it grows from works today: SOS with position.
Who is told: an alert, the whole city. A call for help, the people nearby and the nearest command post. A message, only the one it is addressed to. Nobody else.
Choose what is sent, then switch Vizible Zone off and on.
A city without a network
In preparation.
Bring us the site where your team loses contact.
Targets are agreed before the pilot starts, measured on your site and reported in full, failures included.
