Based on the DeReticular documentation and the “Project Unplugged” initiative, the RIOS Mobile Ecosystem consists of a tiered lineup of hardware, software, and services designed to provide sovereign, unbreakable connectivity at the edge.

The ecosystem is divided into three main categories: Core Hardware (The Brains), Connectivity Kits (The Pipes), and Software & Services (The Logic).

1. Core Hardware (“The Brains”)

These are the intelligent routers that manage your connections.

  • RIOS Sovereign Hub (Flagship)
    • Role: The ultimate mobile command center.[1][2]
    • Function: Intelligently “fuses” satellite (Starlink) and cellular connections into a single, unbreakable bond.[2][3]
    • Hardware: Ruggedized Netgate 2100-based appliance, Quad-Core ARM processor.
    • Target User: First responders, mobile command units, overlanders, and mission-critical remote workers.
    • Key Feature: Capable of high-throughput bonding (100Mbps+) and running heavy encryption.
  • RIOS Guardian Hub (Entry/Cellular Focus)
    • Role: The “set it and forget it” connectivity solution.
    • Function: Bonds multiple cellular carriers (via vSIM) to create a stable internet connection where a single phone would fail. Can failover to Wi-Fi or a basic WAN link.
    • Hardware: Compact Netgate 1100-based appliance.
    • Target User: Remote workers, digital nomads, and light-fleet vehicle tracking.
    • Key Feature: Plug-and-play simplicity; power it on, and it finds the best signal.

2. Connectivity Kits & Accessories (“The Pipes”)

These are the physical antennas and modems that capture the signal.

  • Trifi Multi-Carrier Modem
    • Description: A specialized vSIM-enabled cellular modem module embedded in or attached to the Hubs.[1]
    • Capability: Connects to hundreds of carriers globally without changing physical SIM cards. It automatically hunts for the strongest tower, regardless of the provider (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.).
  • High-Gain Mobile Antennas
    • 7-in-1 Antenna (Sovereign Class): A roof-mounted, weatherproof dome combining 4x Cellular MIMO, 2x Wi-Fi, and 1x GPS antennas.
    • 5-in-1 Antenna (Guardian Class): A slightly smaller profile antenna for the Guardian Hub (2x Cellular, 2x Wi-Fi, 1x GPS).
  • RIOS Starlink Business Kit
    • Description: A curated, “RIOS-Ready” Starlink Flat High-Performance terminal package.
    • Integration: Comes pre-configured to plug directly into the Sovereign Hub’s WAN port for instant satellite bonding.

3. Software & Services (“The Logic”)

The digital layer that manages the hardware and integrates it into the community.

  • RIOS Command App
    • Description: The mobile application (iOS/Android) used to control the Hubs.
    • Features: Real-time signal dashboard, one-touch “Stealth Mode” (kills all lights/transmissions), and network usage monitoring.
  • RIOS Passport
    • Description: A cryptographic digital identity embedded in every Hub.
    • Function: Allows the device to “roam” onto local RIOS Campus networks (Trifi) automatically, offloading data usage to the fixed community network when in range.
  • RIOS Pro Subscription
    • Description: An optional recurring service for power users.
    • Unlocks:
      • VPN Services: One-click WireGuard/OpenVPN for end-to-end encryption.
      • Traffic Shaping: Prioritize Zoom calls over Netflix or telemetry over web browsing.
      • Flywheel Rewards: Opt-in to share anonymous signal data to earn network credits.
