Field Ops

When your network has to work, even when others fail

Data flow between devices, even without stable mobile networks or internet. For reporters, EMS, fire brigades and civil protection.

Where VluxNet helps in the field

Two scenarios where classic cloud services hit their limits.

Reporter in a crisis area

Move image and video material securely between devices — even without working internet.

VluxApp · VluxPC Learn more

If you work in a crisis area, you need full control over your own recordings. Internet is unstable, external servers aren’t always reachable. Image and video material still has to be secured.

VluxNet transfers directly between devices — on the LAN without internet, or encrypted peer-to-peer over the net when there is a connection. The material stays with the reporter — full data sovereignty over your source material.

What you need:

  • VluxApp on the smartphone
  • VluxPC on the notebook or in the home office

First responders & emergency ops

Fast data transfer during operations — situational pictures, body-cam footage, scene photos — even without mobile networks.

VluxApp · VluxPC Learn more

In emergency operations — EMS, fire brigades, civil protection, police — mobile networks are often the first to fail. Yet situational pictures, body-cam footage, interview recordings, scene photos and documents still have to flow between responders and command.

VluxNet works on the LAN without internet, can spin up its own hotspots and transfer data directly between devices. When the mobile network goes down, the local Vlux network keeps working. Evidence is handed straight from the field smartphone to the command computer — end-to-end encrypted, with timestamp and device identity for later evidentiary purposes.

What you need:

  • VluxApp on the field smartphones
  • VluxPC on a command computer or mobile field PC

Features for field operations

Auto-hotspot, direct device-to-device link, encrypted chat — even when mobile networks fail.

Connect devices

Automatic device discovery

Devices find each other on the same Wi-Fi, no configuration needed.

VluxSpot — auto hotspot

Spins up its own hotspot when no Wi-Fi is available.

BLE key exchange

First connection runs via Bluetooth — the key never leaves your devices.

ID verification

Optional: verification as a real human via official ID.

Trust-on-first-use

Devices remember each other by fingerprint. Verified once, trusted forever.

Direct tunnel without a server

Via IPv6 or NAT punching, devices reach each other directly — no central coordinator.

Data transfer

Multi-lane transfer

Multiple parallel connections for maximum speed (RAID-0 principle).

Direct data transfer

Files flow device to device, directly between the devices.

Original quality, no compression

Images, videos and files stay at full quality — no resolution loss.

Large files, no limit

No cloud quota, no size limit — you use your own storage.

Communication

Encrypted chat

Messages between your devices, AES-256 encrypted.

File send

Fast and secure between all devices on the network.

Your own AI as a contact

Plug in your own Ollama instance — it shows up as a chat contact.

What you need

A smartphone and a notebook are enough for a minimal functional field network.

VluxPC

  • Windows 10/11
  • .NET 8 Runtime
  • 4 GB RAM (more recommended)

VluxApp

  • Android 8.0 or newer

Apple devices (iPhone, Mac) follow in a later version.

What matters when it counts

Four properties that are non-negotiable in the field.

Full data sovereignty

Your data sits on your own devices. You keep full control — no foreign server, no provider looking in.

End-to-end encrypted

AES-256-GCM between sender and recipient. Nobody in the middle reads along.

Made in Germany

Built in Schleswig-Holstein. Relay servers in Germany.
