Custom Mobile App Development

Here is the honest truth about competing with government-subsidized and big-carrier fiber: you are not going to win on a spec sheet. They can always quote a bigger number. What they cannot do is be local, be present, and be the network your community actually trusts.

So play to your strength.

An app is how you own the community

A WISP is not just a pipe. It is the operator who kept the town online through the last storm. A white-label tower-camera app turns that relationship into something people hold in their hand: live weather cameras from your towers, network status, and a daily reason to open an app with your name on it. As one operator put it, broadband is not just about speed, it is about bringing people together.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”

— C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

That is what a shared camera feed does for a town. Everyone watching the same sky during the same storm. That sense of “us” is the one thing subsidized fiber can never install.

Cameras that stay up when it matters most

Anyone can point a phone at an RTSP stream. The hard part is keeping the feed alive when a tornado warning drops and a thousand people open the app at once. That is exactly when most camera systems fall over, and exactly when your community needs them.

We solved that first. Rather than streaming straight off the tower to every viewer, we tunnel the camera feeds back to a core, transcode them to modern HTTP-based streaming, and serve them from edge infrastructure. The uplink on your tower never gets saturated, and the feed holds up under peak load during the critical events that matter. We have battle-tested this approach across the Southeast, and we are rolling it out nationwide.

No public IPs, no exposed cameras

You should never have to burn a public IP on every camera or leave one hanging open on the internet for anyone to find. So you don’t. We supply an appliance you install inside your network. Your cameras tunnel their traffic out through it to the open internet, where they are reachable over HTTPS and protected from DDoS. Nothing on your tower is directly exposed.

That also makes the broadcast experience seamless. When disaster strikes, a station meteorologist can log in over the secure connection and pan, tilt, and zoom the cameras to follow the storm, without you standing up VPNs, port forwards, or public addresses for every site.

Need the hardware too? We build and sell a proven Weather Cam Site Kit through our sister company The Edge Mile, a Hanwha PTZ camera with a MikroTik VPN router, already tested on broadcast weather networks like Gray Media’s, so your cameras are broadcast-ready from day one.

Sign-in with no password, built on data you already have

A login screen is where most apps lose people. We remove it. Your app integrates directly with your ISP CRM, so the mobile numbers you already have on file become the login. A customer enters their phone number, we text them a code, and they are in. No password to create, forget, or reset.

We have built this against VISP, Splynx, and other ISP platforms, and the codes are delivered over Twilio. You can bring your own Twilio key, so every message is sent from your account and fully auditable. Each ISP’s app backend is isolated and dockerized, so your customer data and your credentials never share space with another operator’s.

Live tower status, straight from your network

Nothing kills trust like a customer who finds out their internet is down before you do. So we close that gap. We integrate with your UNMS / UISP or a similar network management system to read which towers are online and which are not, and we pipe that status right into the app. Your customers can see a problem early, and see that you are already on it, instead of sitting on hold wondering.

The best part: your ISP writes no code. We handle the integration end to end. All we need is a network engineer on your side to help with the plumbing between our system and yours. If you do not have that resource in-house, we can arrange it. We work regularly with respected consultants in this space, including Carbon Network Solutions, Sarah Kerr of ISP Technology, Alliance Broadband, and more, and we keep a roster of network folks we can call on to get the integration done for you.

Win the essential workers in your county

Your app is also a community program, not just a utility. We help you roll out an Essential Workers program that turns your network into the hometown favorite.

The first half is a discount program for the people who keep your county running: law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs and paramedics, 911 dispatchers, emergency management, nurses and hospital staff, teachers, and active-duty military and veterans. A standing monthly discount on their service, easy to verify with an agency ID or department letter, brings in loyal customers and builds real brand reputation across your network.

The second half is the app. We help you give those same essential workers free access to your tower-camera app, regardless of who their ISP is. When the sheriff’s office and the fire department across the county open your app to check conditions during a storm, your brand becomes the name attached to public safety in the whole area. You can see a live example of this on Alabama Lightwave’s Essential Workers page.

From your towers to the nightly news

The same cameras that live in your app can feed your local broadcast partners in full resolution. When severe weather hits, your towers are on the air, and your brand is on every screen in the market. That is the subject of our Local News Partnership service, powered by broadcast partners like Gray Media.
