Purpose
When cell networks are down or were never there, in disaster zones, backcountry, or remote fieldwork, people still need to reach each other and know where everyone is. The project set out to prove handheld units could talk both ways and share live location over a long-range radio link, and to measure just how far that link would stretch.
Description
We built handheld devices that exchange addressed two-way messages, track and share live location, and show both on a small onboard screen. We pushed the radio toward its maximum range, and one variant folds in environmental readings so conditions travel alongside the messages and coordinates during field testing. Measuring and extending how far a link like this holds up in the real world is the kind of hands-on radio work we take on.
