Without looking deep at the technology part I was wondering if this could be used as an alternative for avalanche transceivers in backcountry skiing. Avalanche transceivers use radio signals to find each other in case of an avalanche. They are very high priced and unfortunately a lot of people then decide to not use one. Having a cheap and reliable version using a phone could save lifes. I'm very curious to see if this is feasible
