QR Code Broadcasts

QR broadcasts encode digital content into scannable video frames, enabling information transfer through visual channels that work without internet infrastructure.

What Is a QR Broadcast?

A QR broadcast is a video containing encoded QR code frames that carry digital data. When played on a screen or distributed as a video file, users can scan the frames to extract and verify the embedded content.

Why Video?

Video is a universal distribution format. It can be broadcast on TV, shared via USB drives, displayed on public screens, or transmitted through satellite feeds — channels that often remain available when internet does not.

Content Bundles

Each broadcast carries a signed content bundle containing news articles, emergency alerts, or public safety instructions. The FreeWave app decodes, verifies signatures, and stores content for offline reading.
