Harriet is a dongle that connects to devices like phones, laptops, or tablets via Bluetooth or a USB cable, adding long-range networking capabilities.

Harriet enables connected devices to communicate over long-range radio without the need for WiFi or mobile data, ensuring reliable communication even in remote areas.

Harriet can connect to a wide range of devices, including smartphones, laptops, and tablets, as long as they support Bluetooth or USB connections.

Long-range radio technology allows devices to communicate over large distances without the need for a monthly data or WiFi subscription.

By the end of 2025, Harriet will use small, efficient renewable energy sources like solar panels or kinetic energy generators to stay environmentally friendly.

Harriet will utilize the off-the-record messaging (OTR) protocol to secure data transmissions and keep sensitive information private.

You can try it out through community programs or by emailing us directly. We are still developing the prototype.

Goals for the project include adding encrypted (OTR) messaging in 2025. By the end of 2025, the Harriet devices will be powered by renewable energy. Many unhoused individuals lack consistent access to electricity, but without access to electricity, our devices are useless.

We also try our best to avoid electronics made with cobalt. In the short-term, this means avoiding usage of lithium batteries, which are usually manufactured using cobalt.
