VietnameseStay connected as a group, wherever you're traveling
Remote destinations, national parks, rural roads, and countries where your plan doesn't reach all break the cellular connection your group counts on. Nelos keeps you talking and sharing locations without it - with offline maps you can carry for anywhere in the world.
Your plan doesn't cover everywhere you go
A road trip through rural areas, a hike into a national park, or a trip to a country where your carrier has no agreement all lead to the same gap: no signal, and no easy way for your group to check in or find each other. Nelos doesn't replace your phone plan or general internet access - it gives your group its own local way to communicate exactly when that connectivity isn't there.
A private group network that travels with you
Each traveler's phone connects to a small compatible LoRa device over Bluetooth. From there, messages and locations move between your group's devices directly - independent of local cell towers, Wi-Fi, or your phone plan.
Private group messaging
Stay in touch with your travel group without needing local service.
Location sharing
See where everyone in your group is, even when you've temporarily split up.
Need Help
One tap lets your group know you need help, along with your exact location.
Download the map before you lose the connection
Nelos offers downloadable offline maps for destinations worldwide. Download the area you're headed to while you still have internet, and the map stays on your phone and usable with no connection at all - along with your group's shared locations from the mesh laid right on top of it.
- Maps download for use anywhere in the world
- Works fully offline once downloaded
- Your group's locations appear on the same map
A road trip through rural coverage gaps
Your group takes two cars through a stretch of highway with no cell coverage for the next hour. Before setting out, everyone downloaded the offline map for the route. When one car pulls off for a photo stop, the other can see exactly where they are and send a message to say "catch up at the next junction" - no signal bars needed the whole way through.
A compatible device for each traveler
Anyone who wants to message the group or appear on the map needs a phone with Nelos and a compatible LoRa device paired over Bluetooth. See the devices guide for travel-friendly options.
Nelos gives your group its own local communication and offline maps - it isn't a replacement for general internet access, calls, or your mobile data plan while traveling.
