Be on the same frequency
as your festie besties
Bypass congested cell towers, send texts, go on side quests.
How does it work?
• Radios send low-bandwith packets of data over the 915hz frequency using LoRa (long range) technology.
• Our app (iPhone only at this time) interfaces with the radios via bluetooth. You can send messages to other friends (within range) also using ravedio.
Use Cases
• You have a large group and have trouble keeping everyone together
• You don't want to rely on meet up spots and people getting sidetracked
• You like to show up fashionably late to the party but by the time you make it inside the festival cell towers aren't reliable
• You want people to know your whereabouts without carrying a totem
• You're meeting up with a special someone and want a more reliable way to communicate
• You're a free spirit that likes to go on side quests but want to meet up with your friends after
• You want to spend less time waiting and searching around and spend more time listening to the music
Limitations and usage
In ideal conditions our radios can reach long distances with line of sight and enough height, however music festivals pose many challenges to overcome such as buildings, uneven terrain, dense crowds, antennas being closer to ground level and not upright, etc. Range can vary due to environmental factors but the the range between two radios can be estimated to be about a quarter mile. Luckily with more radios being used in one location they form a mesh-like network and this can be extended.
Each radio can relay a number of other messages it sees on its frequency regardless if it can decrypt them or not. While not perfect we believe we can help you stay better connected to your friends at festivals.
