The truth about mobile coverage, in your hands.

Built for the field, not the lab.

Mystery is the status quo.

Operator coverage maps are estimates published by the party selling the coverage. The people who depend on a network get none of that visibility into their own site.

Without ground truth on coverage and capacity, SIM and equipment setup is guesswork, and everything changes the moment real load shows up.

When the job needs public networks to hold and they don't, you need an alternative you control.

Five bars means nothing. Bars measure connection, not usability. 10,000 people at San Francisco's July 4th proved it when every phone showed full signal and nothing would send.

SurfScan in the field. SurfScore.live behind it.

The summary report, in the SurfScan app

If you've carried professional Wi-Fi survey kit, you know this shape: the app drives the scanner, and the scanner feeds the cloud. Ours is that shape, for cellular.

SurfScan is the field kit. The app on your phone drives a scanner you carry, your own GL.iNet router or a SurfScanGo, and shows you the answer on the spot: every network on site, in one pass. App install → router install → first scan in under 5 minutes.

SurfScore.live is where it all lands: every scan scored 0–100 on one scale and kept, so a location isn't a single reading. It's a record.

Now you know what's actually there. Here's what to do with it.

Operator selection on SIMs. Band locking on equipment. Tuned to the networks available at your location, not a market-wide average.

The third modem, the over-provisioned plan, the fibre ordered just in case: all rational when you don't know what you're working with. Now you do.

When public networks won't cut it, we deploy one of our own.

5G2GO

Rapid-deployment private cellular, 4G and 5G, on our own hardware: dedicated spectrum, capacity under your control, live in minutes. Not a request to an operator. A network you stand up yourself.

Open5G2GO

5G2GO runs on our own hardware, on Open5G2GO's core or a commercial one, whichever fits the job. Either way, the control surface is SurfControl: the same tool whether you're running it yourself in a lab or we're running it live for you.

Open5G2GO is that same interface, open source under AGPL, built on Open5GS. Run it yourself, in your own lab, before you commit to anything. When you're ready for a live deployment, you already know the tool.

Engineers betting critical workflows on mobile.

The work looks different depending on the room. The bet is the same.

Broadcast & Live Production Verify bonded-cellular capacity before going live. Lock the right bands.
Event Production Operator capacity for ops and point-of-sale, before and during the show.
Fleet & Logistics Data-driven decisions on SIM contracts, fleet-wide.
Public Safety & EMS Verify FirstNet coverage and document it before you need it.
Network Integrators Site surveys with real spectrum data, not coverage-map assumptions.
