Tele-source is the most basic cellular network which allows people to connect to the network and receive SMS messages. The network is designed to be deployed during disaster situations when traditional cellular networks have been disabled and will allow first responders to send information and updates to anyone connected to the network.

Audience
FEMA, Occupy Wall Street, NYPD, and other first responder units.

Implementation
Using a transceiver, a device which can send and receive radio waves, uses computer software to translate those frequencies operating in the cellular range and create communication between two cell phones through the system.
