Discover Our Story

We started the project inspired by real life events from our personal experiences. We are building a true off-grid navigation tool with multi-band communication capabilities , a new category, we called it GIOSN ( global intelligent off-grid safety network). With a dual approach, native app and beacon we are building world's first beacon AI-driven with interconnected trail navigation app...Probably the first in this class.

We tested the first prototypes in Patagonia, French Alps and Carpathian's, we patented the SOS & hazard notification system and now we are one more step closer to launch the first public version.

Every hike helps preserve the wild! OA isn't just about getting there, it's about protecting what's there. Every hike supports rural economies, trail clean-ups, and conservation projects.

We introduced the concept HIKE-TO-EARN, to make it more fun and interactive for hikers and the concept HIKE-TO-PRESERVE, a model to support local communities, nature protection and trail maintenance.

National Parks and protected areas partners have a customised version of the app for internal use, to help manage and monitor the natural areas.

Backed by true passion, family & friends! Join us!

All-In-One-Beacon & Off Grid Smart Navigation App

Our dual approach, the Off-grid Smart Navigation App and the all-in-one beacon allows hiker-to-hiker communication up to 15 km radius in any conditions, with a built in multi-modal communication technologies for off-grid adventures.

Outdoor Aficionados (OA) provide a native, AI-driven outdoor navigation app ready for predictive hiking (helps to decide what route to follow in case of hazards, meteo & trail conditions, personal preferences) and allows you to communicate with other hikers (P2P) using the app and/or a multimodal beacon with hybrid communications ( GEO/MEO/LEO, Mesh, LoraWAN,..).

We introduce the hike-to earn model and we created a hike-to-purpose model for a positive sustainable impact. Every hike you take helps maintain the trail you walk on.

All-In-One-Beacon & <br/>Off Grid Smart Navigation App

OXI - the All-In-One-Beacon

Smartphone case, power supply, SOS beacon, multi satellite communication system, mesh, LoraWAN or else? Well, it’s all of that in one piece. It’s the Outdoor Aficionados (OA) All-in-one Beacon, we call it OXI, like the oxygen we need to breathe, we need OXY , the OA beacon to explore more, navigate and communicate with others.

It helps you transform your smartphone in an off-grid safety navigation device that allows you to explore and enjoy nature in a safe way. Join us and be among the first to test it!

OXI - smart navigation brain

Outdoor Aficionados is probably the world's first global intelligent off-grid safety network (GIOSN). Despite the direct-to-cell market messages, physics ≠ marketing! Meaning that we need a mix of communication methods to be truly connected in the most harsh conditions in our adventures. Our patented beacon system and app allows switching between different ways of communicating and keep you connected with others.

We use a multiband antenna and a « AI-brain » that adapts to the off-grid conditions and positioning and switch between the ways of communicating from GEO sat or LEO sat to mesh communication. All incorporated in the phone case that adapts to your smartphone.
