Tell a Story Live
When using CONTACT 4.0, you snap a digital picture, write a dispatch, and upload it to your website. Viewers can follow your adventure within seconds. This creates a "live" feeling.

Show Images
Had Mallory used CONTACT, there would have been no need to search for his camera... He could have shot the images and uploaded them straight from C4 or the summit.

Send Video
With CONTACT 4.0, you can upload video clips to the Internet, even over super slow connections like the Iridium. Check videos by CONTACT.

Send Audio
Push the "Record" button on your PDA. Talk. Send. It's out on the internet.

Positions
CONTACT GEO updates expedition position in three dimensions on interactive map when dispatch is sent. Click a position and view dispatch and picture. Longitude, Latitude, Altitude and Progress log. New!

Dispatch alerts
Fans, media, friends and families sign up to receive an e-mail alert when the expedition updates. Clicking a link in the e-mail brings you straight to the dispatch.

No Webmaster
Upload straight to the Internet from your PDA (or laptop) without waiting for your Webmaster. Your dispatches and pictures will be near live, cutting publishing time from hours/days down to a few seconds.

User-Friendly
Simple and basic interface is equally ideal for the extreme adventurer or the weekend trekker. CONTACT has been used during the most challenging conditions with 100% success thanks in large part to the uncomplicated system.

Flexible solutions
Mirror-dispatching (same dispatches to different layouts), XML updates, FTP updates, e-mail notifications, RSS feeds and much more.

Save On Fast Transfer
Swift transfer - 40% faster in tests! CONTACT is based on a direct server transfer, saving expensive transfer time compared to e-mails. In tests, transmission time averaged 40% less compared to e-mail. Using CONTACT will save on Sat phone bill. Check test results. CONTACT works on an "all or nothing" basis, eliminating the risk of broken dispatches often present with slow connection transfers.

CONTACT 2.0 was launched in February 2003, derived from high-tech expeditions to Everest, and to the North and South Poles. To date, CONTACT 2.0 has been used by more than 50 high-end expeditions, with the number increasing each month.

In May 2004, CONTACT 2.0 was upgraded to version 3.0. The new edition features advanced support for image, sound and video uploads as well as a supplementary interface that can be used from any internet cafe around the world. Version 4.0 was introduced in Feb 2005 with the introduction of a one page viewer experience and zoomable maps with expedition postions. The concept of CONTACT is simple: Tell your story straight from the adventure to the internet. The developing team consists of Everest climbers, Polar skiers and ocean sailors, who understand the true importance of lightweight and easy tech that works.
