The SafecomLink BBS is a built-in file server that allows any connected station to browse and download files directly from your system in real time.
Key Value Proposition
The BBS turns your SafecomLink node into a shared information hub. Whether you're distributing documents, forms, images, updates, or software tools, the BBS ensures that every connected station can instantly access the files they need, without external servers or internet connectivity.
Operational Details and Benefits
All shared files are stored in a single directory that you control. Add, remove, or update files at any time, every connected station will always see the latest list.
Any File Type Supported: The BBS supports all file formats: images, PDFs, executables, configuration files, text bulletins, and more. This gives you maximum flexibility in what you choose to share.
Live File Browsing by Connected Stations: Stations connected to your node can open the BBS window, view the entire list of available files, and choose exactly what to download. No need for back-and-forth messaging.
Direct Download Over the Link: Downloads happen directly over the SafecomLink connection using your existing radio or modem setup. This creates a reliable, private, off-grid data distribution mechanism.
The SafecomLink BBS is ideal for organizations that need distributed access to documents or tools in remote, disconnected, or emergency-ready environments. It brings structure, convenience, and reliability to radio-based information sharing, no internet required.
