ATAK

Through Somewear’s first-of-its-kind ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit) integration, operators can utilise the native features of ATAK through low-bandwidth satellite connectivity maintaining situational awareness in the most austere environment.

Smart routing

The technology is designed to utilise the path of least resistance to transmit/receive data, leveraging Wi-Fi and LTE when available and automatically connecting to the Iridium network when LTE coverage is unavailable.

The app shows the date and time as 10/18/21 at 08:25, and indicates an 85% signal with a green signal icon. The background features a map with a marked route, and the text is in black and orange.

Sensor integration

In addition to communication and location data, Somewear has built a system capable of a wide range of integrations. From body-worn sensors to remote unattended sensors, Somewear integration can help provide real time insights even for sensors found in austere environments.

SOS

At its core, Somewear provides a critical line to safety in the event of an emergency. With Somewear’s federal solution, leadership can choose to re-route SOS alerts to the proper tactical response team. This ensures that an operator’s SOS alert is immediately pushed to the team that can provide a quick and discrete recovery.
