Trellis
Communication Without Limits
Satellite. Mesh networking. VPN. Emergency guidance. One platform that keeps individuals, schools, government agencies, and enterprises connected when infrastructure fails — routing messages through space, mesh, and encrypted tunnels to save lives.
Built for the Real World
Every feature is designed around one question: what happens when everything else fails?
Satellite Connectivity
Send SOS signals, heartbeat pings, and short messages through satellite when all terrestrial connectivity fails. Android 15+ native integration — no extra hardware.
Mesh Networking
Phone-to-phone communication over Bluetooth LE and WiFi Aware. No towers, no internet — messages hop across 50+ devices. WiFi Aware adds voice call and media sharing capability.
VPN Aggregation
Nine protocols with intelligent geographic selection: V2Ray, Shadowsocks, WireGuard, Trojan, OpenVPN, and more. Auto-failover keeps you connected through the heaviest censorship.
Secure Hotspot Gateway
Turn your phone into an encrypted WiFi access point. Laptops, tablets, and desktops connect to your hotspot and all their traffic routes through the Trellis VPN. Captive portal shows real-time encryption status.
Emergency Auto-Activation
Listens for WEA, EU-Alert, and ShakeAlert signals. The moment danger is declared, mesh activates, contacts are notified, battery saver engages, and first-aid guidance appears.
Stealth Mode
App disguises as a calculator, weather app, or clock with fully functional decoy interfaces. Hidden gesture access. For activists where having a VPN visible means arrest — or worse.
Crowd Crush Detection
Real-time density estimation via BLE device count, WiFi Aware peers, accelerometer data, and GPS clustering. Alerts users and suggests safest exit routes before crush conditions develop.
Four Modes, One App
Trellis seamlessly switches between modes based on your situation — no manual configuration needed.
Everyday — Venue Mode
At a concert or stadium? Trellis auto-activates. Find friends on a live map, share photos over mesh, and navigate the venue without cell signal.
Crisis — Emergency Mode
An alert fires. Mesh activates instantly, battery saver engages, contacts are notified via every channel including satellite, and life-saving guidance appears on screen.
Restricted — Privacy Mode
VPN aggregation activates when censorship is detected. Stealth mode hides the app. Multi-protocol failover keeps your connection alive, private, and invisible.
Institutional — Command Mode
Schools run 60-second roll calls. Governments coordinate disaster response. Enterprises execute lockdown protocols. Verified authority channels, first responder hand-off, and compliance documentation — over mesh when cell fails.
