About ResonEcho
Our Mission & Vision
Our Mission & Vision
ResonEcho was founded to solve a fundamental challenge in modern communication: how to keep people connected when traditional networks fail. Our journey began with a simple question—why should our ability to communicate be limited by infrastructure that's often unavailable exactly when we need it most?
We're a young technology company in the early stages of development, dedicated to creating decentralized communication solutions that work regardless of cellular coverage or network congestion.
Where We Started
ResonEcho began when founder Stephen Duncan experienced firsthand the frustration of losing contact with friends at crowded festivals. Despite everyone having smartphones, traditional networks became overwhelmed, making coordination nearly impossible.
This experience highlighted a universal problem that affects people in various scenarios—from outdoor enthusiasts in remote locations to communities during emergency situations. It revealed an opportunity to leverage existing smartphone capabilities in a new way to create resilient, infrastructure-independent communication networks.
Founded in Manitoba, Canada in 2024, ResonEcho is currently in the early stages of turning this vision into reality. While we're a small team today, we're driven by a big mission: ensuring reliable communication for everyone, everywhere.
Where We're Going
We envision a world where your ability to communicate isn't limited by your proximity to cellular towers or the availability of WiFi networks. A world where your smartphone can automatically create and join mesh networks, extending communication capabilities far beyond what's possible today.
Ubiquitous Mesh Networks
Creating an ecosystem where devices seamlessly form communication networks whenever needed
Beyond Smartphones
Extending our technology to IoT devices, creating even more robust and far-reaching networks
Open Standards
Developing approaches that can be adopted widely to improve connectivity for everyone
Global Resilience
Contributing to more robust communication systems that function during emergencies and natural disasters
While we're in the early stages of realizing this vision, every development decision we make is guided by these long-term goals.
How We Work
At ResonEcho, our development approach is guided by these core principles:
Responsible Innovation
