A very interesting new method of digital communications is being developed by Ribbit for digital text messaging in an Emergency.

The Codec they are developing appears to her very robust, efficient and faster compared to current Codecs used in digital communications such as text and data comms.

What are Ribbit saying about this new Codec.

Ribbit is a novel digital text messaging mode for VHF/UHF communications for recreational and emergency use which radically increases the density of information transmitted by spectrum used.

It leverages the computing power of the modern smartphone to increase the capabilities of any Handy Talkie without requiring any additional hardware. Its redundant distributed nature allows it to function even when internet connectivity is lost during emergencies.

Ribbit is open source and currently in its early stages of development.
