Edge TAK Server

Edge TAK Server turns an Android phone into a complete, self-contained TAK server. Connect your team's ATAK devices directly to the phone in your hand — no cloud, no datacenter, no internet required.

Built for the edge, where connectivity can't be assumed. Edge TAK Server runs a full situational-awareness backend on-device, so your team shares one live picture even with no infrastructure around you.

KEY FEATURES

• On-device TAK server — the phone is the server
• Scan-to-connect onboarding — an ATAK client joins by scanning a QR code
• Works with no internet — always-on local network mode, with an optional secure overlay network when you're online
• Mutual-TLS security with an on-device certificate authority — trust lives and dies with your device
• Host and deliver map tiles and plugins to connected devices
• Capture and replay session data

HOW IT WORKS

Start the server on your phone, have teammates scan a QR code from their ATAK app, and they connect directly to you over Wi-Fi or a local hotspot. No account, no cloud sign-in, no internet dependency.

Edge TAK Server is free.
