Honest comparison
We're not trying to replace your PLB. Carry a satellite phone or PLB for genuine emergency SOS — DOSnet is for staying in touch with your own group, not replacing rescue beacons.

Before you go
Is this legal to use in Australia?
Yes. DOSnet hubs operate on the AU915 ISM band, license-free under ACMA regulations. No permit or registration needed.
Does it need phone signal or a SIM card?
No. DOSnet creates its own private mesh network between hubs and doesn't touch the telco network at all.
How long does the battery last on a weekend trip?
3–4 days of typical use on a full charge. Recharges from any USB-C source.
