For teams that operate beyond cell. S6 Helios turns your radio into a group messaging and GPS device. Your phone is the interface. Your radio is the network.
No spam. Just a note when the app launches.
Coordinating on voice is slow, error-prone, and leaves no record. You repeat yourself, miss callouts, and can't see where anyone is. S6 Helios gives your team timestamped messages and live position — over the same radio you already carry.
Features
Built from the ground up for field use.
Send and receive timestamped text messages over RF. No server — the radio is the network.
See your team on a map in real time. Works off radio GPS or your phone's GPS as a fallback.
Point your phone at any teammate — get a live bearing, distance, and direction arrow without a map.
Know your message landed. Read receipts with per-recipient status — like WhatsApp checkmarks, over radio.
USGS topo and satellite imagery cached for offline use. No tiles streamed, no data needed in the field.
Program channels, switch frequencies, and control TX power — all from your phone over Bluetooth.
How it works
Connect over Bluetooth in seconds. S6 Helios handles the handshake — no CHIRP, no cables, no setup file.
Your team pairs their own radios. No accounts, no passwords, no server to configure.
Send group messages, share GPS, track each other on the map. Works the moment you leave cell coverage.
