We are planning to go up in a helicopter soon to do some real tests. We are very excited about this, and I will be back with more information. Please, stay tuned…
So far all the tests have been performed on the ground. The results are very promising! During performance tests at long distances Fredrik pinpointed me at a distance of 21 km. Tests in January in minus 24 degrees Celsius in Bydalen, with the Swedish Mountain Rescue Team, gave the results we hoped for. They found the cellphones, buried 1,5 meters in the snow, in less than 3 minutes, without any training (!), when starting the search more than a hundred meters away. Very good for a prototype I must say!
