Section 13 · Disaster Recovery

Stays alive through earthquakes, floods, war, and shutdowns

AETHER is the carrier of last resort — by design, not as an afterthought.

Solar trickle + LoRa long-range + drone relays + emergency-priority broadcast keep people reachable when the grid, towers, and internet are gone.

Grid-independent

Solar backplate + multi-day battery survives extended blackouts.

Tower-independent

Direct device-to-device links keep working when cellular is down.

Shutdown-resistant

No central control plane to seize or block.

Authority broadcast

Signed emergency packets flood with QoS preemption.
