Problem
Engaging in group activities like skiing, biking, or surfing often presents communication challenges due to environmental noise, distance, and the need for hands-free operation. Traditional walkie-talkies require button presses and lack the ability for simultaneous conversations, hindering real-time interaction and group coordination. Reliance on mobile phones is impractical in areas with poor or no cellular coverage.
Solution
Milo is a hands-free group voice communication device that enables seamless, multi-way conversations without relying on Wi-Fi or mobile signals. Utilizing a proprietary MiloNet™ mesh network, Milo creates a closed communication loop between group members, allowing everyone to speak simultaneously. The device features six digital microphones combined with wind and background noise reduction to deliver clear audio in various conditions. Users can clip Milo to their clothing or gear, ensuring hands-free operation and continuous connectivity within a range of up to 600 meters, which extends as the group spreads out.
