Stolo is encrypted messaging, GPS, and incident coordination on a self-healing mesh — over radio, Wi-Fi, and cellular. No towers. No servers. No dead zones.
A single message can cross Radio, Wi-Fi, cellular — and any other link you add. The mesh picks the best medium for every hop and stitches them together without you noticing.
Radio · 915 MHz · 17 dBm · up to 14 km

A kit ships with everything you need. Pre-configured for your team.
A kit lands at your site — handhelds, Peak relays, every device pre-paired to your network identity.
Relays and handhelds deployed, phones install the app. Peers find each other automatically — no pairing codes, no IT ticket.
Your team uses Stolo like any messaging app — chats, groups, files, location — except it keeps working past the edge of coverage.
Cellular and satellite are great where they work — we're not trying to replace your phone. Here's where Stolo wins, and where another stack is the right call.

The properties that make Stolo work when nothing else does.
Not fallbacks. The mesh picks the best medium per packet and switches mid-session.

No central server, no dispatch. When any link drops, the graph re-negotiates itself in under a second.
Radio transport range per relay. Chain for indefinite coverage.
Keys live on the devices. Not on our server — not on anyone's.
Internal + solar. Masts run unattended for days.
Sealed against dust, rain, and drops. Designed for the conditions that kill phones.
Messages queue on-device, signed and sealed. They deliver the instant the recipient comes back within reach — hours or days later, unchanged.
Every node shares position over the mesh. See your team on the map even when no cell tower can.
