Search and rescue
Volunteers use the phones they already own, and a call-out needs clear voice and a map that everyone can see. RevoNet gives your team both, without anyone pasting locations into a group chat.
Sound familiar?
What makes it hard today
- Consumer apps with no discipline about who speaks when
- Positions shared by hand and always a step behind the search
- Hard to piece together afterwards who was where
With RevoNet
One radio network for the whole operation
- Push-to-talk on volunteers' own phones
- A map showing your team during the search
- A timeline to look back on after stand-down
The RevoNet system
Radios, connectivity and control, managed together
Getting started
Try it on a real operation
Volunteer teams usually run RevoNet on the phones members already own, since call-outs are occasional and a set of dedicated radios is hard to justify. The free tier covers a coordinator and one volunteer, which is enough to practise group discipline and the map before a real call-out.
