Problem
Approximately 15% of the world’s population lacks basic mobile network access, and nearly 90% of the Earth’s surface is without terrestrial mobile coverage, creating “white zones” where emergency alerts and critical information cannot be reliably delivered.
Solution
Leoblue uses satellite‑based broadcasting combined with Bluetooth® technology to send alert messages directly to smartphones without relying on ground‑based mobile networks. The system can target specific geographic zones by transmitting on secure, unoccupied frequencies, ensuring that messages reach devices in less than 30 minutes. This approach provides a universal communication channel for emergency alerts, public information campaigns, and other time‑critical notifications, even in areas without any terrestrial signal.
Target Audience
Primary customers are governments, disaster‑response agencies, and organizations that need to reach populations in remote or underserved regions lacking mobile network coverage.
Features
- Satellite-to‑smartphone transmission that bypasses terrestrial networks using Bluetooth® for direct device delivery
- Sub‑30‑minute latency from message upload to receipt on end‑user smartphones
- Geographic zoning capability that allows alerts to be confined to precise target areas
- Secure communication on unoccupied frequencies to protect message integrity and prevent interception
- Compatibility with standard Bluetooth‑enabled smartphones, requiring no additional hardware for recipients
