OMNI CONNECT ADD-ON MODULE
INTEGRATED CONNECTIVITY
FOR ANY OFF-GRID SITUATION
We’ve integrated the latest in long range off-grid wireless technologies. Perfect for outdoor adventures, but also critical for emergency situations like blackouts or natural disasters. The Omni Connect Module comes with 4 Omni Connect devices and can be used INDEPENDENTLY from the Omni Off-Grid Station.
– LONG RANGE CONNECTIVITY SOLUTION –
Voice and text messages transmitted through Omni Connect uses a new communication standard called LoRA; that allows you to send and receive messages using extraordinarily little power at very long range. You can read more about LoRA HERE.
– BUILD A PRIVATE OFF-GRID NETWORK –
Omni Connect doesn’t require any 4g, wifi, or cloud network; it is your own private communication channel. Perfect for off-grid camping or any emergencies when the grid is down.
Privately communicate with your family and friends; the encryption and decryption are handled on your smartphone using 128bit AES, so only you and the people you share with will receive your text and voice messages
– EXTEND THE EDGE OF CONNECTIVITY –
THROUGH MESH NETWORKING
Expand your network’s reach with others in the community; for each Omni connect device in use, the range of the community mesh expands.
All Omni Connect devices operate on the same frequency, so everyone within range can act as relays for others. Your smartphone handles the encryption and decryption, and people it is relaying through can’t decrypt the message.
OMNI CONNECT APP
Advanced control
through the omnicharge app
The Omnicharge mobile app provides an INTUITIVE interface that allows you to interact with your Omni Off-Grid and Omni Connect. It also allows you to manage off-grid channels, track locations, and privately message your family and friends.
NO CLOUD NETWORK NECESSARY
ALL DATA IS STORED ON YOUR SMARTPHONE
