Wichita
Wichita sits on the radio bands where trouble shows up first — maritime, aviation, broadcast — and listens, live off the air. The console shows you which frequencies are busy, how strong they are, and how they're changing.
It's doing two things at once: spotting trouble early, and finding people in distress — even the ones who never get to say “mayday.”
beyond the words
When no one says mayday.
Here's what transcription misses on a bad day at sea: the breathing, the strain, a voice working harder than its words. So Wichita listens to the voice itself, not just the words. Laboured breathing, or panic under a calm sentence, counts as a signal in its own right — in any of the languages that share the Mediterranean air.
the console
The whole band, live.
You see the band as it happens: a waterfall of signal over time, the active demodulators, channel statistics, and a maritime emergency monitor. When an alert fires, the audio and the reason come with it, so you can judge the call in seconds.
posture
A research platform, plainly.
To be plain about it: Wichita is a working research platform, not a product for sale. It runs on software-defined radio hardware in Malta, built in the same air it listens to — real channels, real conditions, real signals.
