Our own TAK server
runningThe official TAK Server on our own hardware. Every phone gets its own digital ID to get on, and everything it sends is encrypted.
Running today · on our own hardware
Your whole team on one map. Even where there's no signal.
We run a TAK server, a LoRa mesh and an AI teammate together on one map: positions, chat, aircraft overhead, fire and traffic. We set it up for your family or team, in your own private group, and teach your people to use it.
What works now
On our map today, running on our own hardware
Mesh tags
runningSmall waterproof LoRa tags show up as live markers on the map, with no cell service and no phone needed by whoever carries one.
An AI teammate
runningAn AI sits on the team as a contact, running on our own hardware. Type it a short request in chat to find someone, draw a circle or route you somewhere, and it puts it on the map.
TAK on your wrist
in the labA rugged smartwatch on the same map: your position, team chat, one-press SOS, and a needle pointing to whoever you need to find. No phone in your hand. See the watch.
Aircraft overhead
runningOur own aircraft receiver puts live planes and helicopters on the map: who they are, how high and where they're headed.
Public-safety layers
runningFreeway cameras with live video, CHP incidents, CAL FIRE air intel, fire perimeters, NASA hot spots and USGS earthquakes. Each one switches on and off.
Sensors and custom builds
runningWeather, a bike that reports when it's parked, our own aircraft receiver, and builds to order: gate and fence sensors, soil and water levels, switching real power. See custom builds.
Who it's for
Families and teams that need to find each other
Same backbone, different job. The map, the mesh and the training carry over.
- Families and households. Everyone on one private map at home and on the road, with mesh tags for when a storm takes the cell towers down.
- Ski patrol. Patrollers on the map from the lift tops down, with routers on the summits where height comes free. Tags work alongside your radios. They are not avalanche transceivers.
- Lifeguards and aquatic teams. Waterproof tags on guards and boats, with towers and units on one picture.
- Field archaeology and remote camps. Crews, vehicles and dig sites tracked over the mesh where there is no cell coverage at all.
- Search, response and volunteer teams. One map, one chat, the same tools that defense and public safety already use.
- Facilities. Sensors and alerts placed on the map at the spot they concern.

Training
ATAK is a lot, so we teach it one tool at a time
Ground school plus four levels: drive the map, work as a team, read the live picture, then go off grid on the mesh. Every module ends with a drill you do outdoors with your phone.
It's a steep learning curve and it isn't for everyone. The people who stick with it, a piece at a time, end up with something nothing else gives them.
| Level | You can… |
|---|---|
| Ground school | Get on the server and set up your phone |
| 1 · Operator | Drive the map, drop markers, measure |
| 2 · Teammate | Chat, share, find each other, raise an alert |
| 3 · The live picture | Read and filter the live layers |
| 4 · Off grid | Keep working on the mesh with no cell service |
Why this company exists
It started with my mother
Diane spent her career in the federal courts, making sure what mattered was recorded and never lost. She died in hospice with no one in the room to notice her distress.
The long-term work is a monitoring system that would have noticed: no cameras, and every alert checked and written to a record before a person is called. The alerting already runs on our servers, on the same backbone as everything above. The care sensing is in development.
