Borderless,
Uninterrupted Communication

BosNets is an independent operational communication system that works without relying on any centralized infrastructure. Exchange messages and share your location even when the network is down; every device that joins extends the range.

Vision

We believe communication is a necessity under every condition. When the communication solutions you have leave you stranded, stay connected with BosNets.

Independent Operational Communication System

Stay Connected with BosNets

BosNets gives field teams three core functions in one place: text messaging, live location sharing and an emergency alert at a single press. All three work without an internet connection, over the mesh network the devices form among themselves — messages go out even with the phone in airplane mode.

Send Messages

Send any message you need through BosApp, even with your phone in airplane mode. The message enters the network through the BosMag beside you and reaches a teammate outside range by hopping across the devices in between.

Live Location Sharing

Let the devices around you know where you are. See where your teammates are on the map. Because the BosApp map works offline, location tracking continues without an internet connection.

Emergency Alert

Signal your position with the button on the device. That way your team can reach you easily whenever you need help. The alert reaches everyone on the network at once, together with your location.

Internet Where It Exists,
Mesh Where It Does Not

BosNets is not tied to a single carrier: the internet while the network is up, the devices’ own mesh when it is not. The switch between the two is automatic and needs no action from the user. Either way it is the same app, the same conversation and the same map.

Network available

Over the internet

The phone connects straight to the BosNets server. Message history, task assignments, team positions and BosLog records stay in sync in real time. Range is unlimited.

  • 4G/5G
  • Wi-Fi
No network

Over the mesh network

The phone connects to the BosMag beside it, and the BosMag units link to each other to form their own network. Same app, same conversation, same map. Every new device extends the range.

The BosNets Product Family

BosNets consists of four products: the BosMag communication device that attaches magnetically to a phone, the BosApp mobile application used in the field, the BosBase relay station that extends coverage and the BosLog desktop software that runs at the coordination center. The four work together as a single system; teams can start with BosMag and BosApp and add the others as their needs grow.

BosMag communication device attached to the back of a mobile phone

BosMag

BosMag is a low-power portable communication device, smaller than a wallet, that attaches easily to a mobile phone thanks to its magnetic mount. Developed within the BosNets ecosystem, BosMag is designed to deliver uninterrupted operational communication in areas where communication networks are unavailable or out of service, above all under disaster and emergency conditions.

BosApp

BosApp is a dedicated mobile communication application developed within the BosNets ecosystem, running on the Android and iOS operating systems. Used together with BosMag devices, BosApp allows users to reliably exchange text messages, share locations and track status in areas where communication networks are unavailable or out of service, above all under disaster and emergency conditions.

BosBase solar-powered communication relay station

BosBase

A readily deployable, range-extending communication relay station. Drawing all of its power from solar energy, it runs without interruption. Its larger antenna opens up wider areas of coverage. BosBase units can be used at operation control centers or on vehicle roofs. Fully portable, it requires no installation at all, and its rugged construction makes it suitable for any terrain.

Operation map screen of the BosLog desktop software

BosLog

BosLog is a desktop application that handles the collection, archiving and reporting of communication data. It provides access to past communication records and makes post-incident analysis possible. Through this interface, field team leaders and managers can reach the communication network and its data from a computer as well. Communication data is placed on record for case analysis and legal admissibility. Tasks can also be assigned to field personnel, and operations managed from a single screen.

Every Moment You Need Uninterrupted Communication

BosNets is used wherever the network has collapsed or was never built: disaster zones, search-and-rescue operations, out-of-coverage worksites such as construction and mining, crowded events, outdoor sports and security operations. What these share is a team that has to work without losing track of one another, in conditions the existing infrastructure cannot cover.

Disaster and Emergency Communication

When GSM and internet infrastructure becomes unusable the moment a disaster strikes, BosNets is the choice of search-and-rescue teams, relief units and public institutions that still need digital communication.

Search and Rescue Operations

Search-and-rescue teams choose BosNets to keep coordination within the team and to increase operational efficiency. As the team spreads out across the terrain, the devices carry the signal to one another; the area covered and the team’s positions are followed from a single screen at the coordination center.

Field Operations

Companies choose it for regions where the existing communication systems cannot be used: construction, energy and mining operations and offshore work above all. Because written communication is placed on record, it leaves a verifiable trail for occupational health and safety processes.

Travel, Tour and Concert Organizations

Travel, tour and concert organizers use BosNets to keep coordination in place. When the cellular network is congested at crowded venues, team communication carries on over the mesh network and staff keep seeing one another’s positions on the map.

Outdoor Sports

Outdoor sports enthusiasts choose BosNets to keep in touch with one another in places with no communication infrastructure. On out-of-coverage routes and at campsites, group members can carry on messaging, sharing locations and raising an emergency alert when they need to.

Military and Security

Security units rely on live location sharing and text-based communication to increase coordination in their operations. Communication can run on a private closed network for the institution, in which case the communication data stays on the institution’s own server.

Why BosNets?

What separates BosNets from radio and GSM-based solutions is that it needs no centralized infrastructure at all in order to work. No licensed frequency allocation, base station or line subscription is required; and because communication is written, it is placed on record and can be analyzed after the fact. The comparison below sums up the difference between the two approaches.

BosNets
  • Independent of infrastructure
  • License-free communication over a mesh network
  • Text-based communication with a full record of the data
  • Operational communication
  • Emergency button and location sharing
  • Automatic switching between internet and mesh
The others
  • Dependent on costly, fragile infrastructure
  • Tied to centralized systems that require licensing
  • Data loss and no oversight
  • Not suited to operations
  • No emergency features
  • Tied to a single carrier
