Keeping critical systems connected when the network fails.
Continuity is an edge-resident communications orchestrator. It continuously scores every available network link, applies mission policy, and autonomously moves traffic to the best path when the active one degrades or drops, across cellular, satellite, radio, Wi-Fi and wired bearers. It runs on standard Linux, at the edge, with no cloud control plane. Today it is a working demonstrator you can watch decide in real time, not a fielded operational system.
What Continuity does
Every communications link fails in its own way: cellular congests, satellite drops, radio gets jammed, Wi-Fi saturates. Continuity treats all of a platform's links as one pool. It measures the live health of each -- latency, jitter, packet loss, throughput -- scores each on a single 0–100 scale weighted by what the traffic actually needs, and keeps the application on the best available path. When that path degrades it fails over automatically and records why; when the preferred link recovers, it returns. Hysteresis stops it from flapping on noise.
Continuity's console runs live at jscontinuity.systems — a looping demonstration on synthetic bearers.
- Discover and classify every network interface on the node
- Measure live latency, jitter and packet loss per bearer
- Score each link 0–100, weighted by the traffic's priorities
- Fail over automatically when the active path degrades or drops
- Return to the preferred bearer once it recovers
- Record every decision, with its reason, on an event timeline
Mission policy
Radios, modems and links are commodities, and bonding and failover are well-trodden. The defensible layer is the policy that decides how to use them. A conventional selector optimises for connectivity -- lowest latency, highest throughput. Continuity's mission policy optimises for the mission, so the same network conditions can produce a different, better decision as the operation changes. That gap, mission-aware policy versus connectivity-only selection, is the moat.
A different objective
Anyone can rank links by speed. Encoding what the mission needs, and re-weighting every bearer decision around it, is a different objective function to the SD-WAN and link-bonding stacks Continuity sits above.
Explainable, not a black box
Every decision carries its reason, a network-only versus mission-aware comparison, and a mission-influence figure. It is policy-driven and auditable, not AI/ML, which is what a critical operator needs before trusting an autonomous switch.
Pluggable and portable
The mission context is modular: a real external mission source can replace the simulator behind the same interface, and the same policy core generalises across JEGASEC's other products. The advantage compounds rather than resets.
What runs today, and what's next
- Interface discovery and live link scoring
- Policy engine with anti-flap hysteresis
- Autonomous failover and recovery across simulated bearers
- Session continuity: an encrypted overlay that carries the session across a failover
- A degradation simulator (congestion, outage, packet loss)
- The live edge console and event timeline shown above
- Real cellular and satellite modems on edge hardware
- Session continuity proven over real links, end to end
- A first field trial, once a design partner is confirmed
- Validated cellular, satellite or radio hardware integrations
- Operational certification or Defence accreditation
- Production or fielded deployment
- Performance benchmarks from real-world testing
- Customers, contracts, pilots or field trials
The path to the field
Continuity's decision logic is demonstrated today. The next milestones are about proving it against real hardware, real links and a real operational use case. This is the stage where a design partner changes everything.
Software demonstrator
Autonomous decision logic demonstrated in controlled scenarios, on synthetic bearers, running live.
Where we are todayReal bearer integration
Connect Linux edge hardware to representative communications interfaces.
Next milestoneMulti-bearer testing
Test real cellular, satellite, Wi-Fi, radio or other suitable links together.
In validationDesign-partner trial
Validate against a real operational use case with an external organisation.
Seeking partnersOperationalisation
Hardening, security assurance, deployment architecture and certification appropriate to the target environment.
FutureLonger-term roadmap, not claimed today: multipath across several bearers at once with critical-traffic replication, and predictive path management that moves before a link fails.
Software, not another radio
- Hardware-agnostic: it orchestrates the radios and modems a platform already has, rather than being one more box to buy
- Mission-aware: policy decides per traffic class -- command, voice, telemetry, bulk -- not just "is the link up"
- Edge-autonomous: every decision is made locally and keeps working with no cloud connection
- Explainable: each failover is logged with the reason behind it, not hidden in a black box
- Integrates, doesn't replace: designed to sit on existing communications hardware for fast deployment
Continuity is also the resilient-communications layer JEGASEC's other platforms can build on -- keeping a fleet or defence edge node connected across mixed bearers in the field.
Boundaries, stated plainly
- Not a radio, modem or antenna -- Continuity is software that sits above them
- Not an electronic-warfare, jamming or offensive capability of any kind
- Not a fielded, operational or certified system -- a research and demonstration build
- Performance figures quoted are engineering targets, not independently validated results
- Not funded, endorsed or operated by Defence or the ADF
JEGASEC is independent and not endorsed by, affiliated with, or representing the Australian Defence Force or the Australian Government.
Help validate Continuity in the field.
JEGASEC is seeking design partners operating mixed or unreliable communications environments, to validate Continuity against representative hardware and real operational constraints. Natural fits include defence industry, autonomous systems and robotics, emergency management, critical infrastructure, remote operations, maritime systems and field communications. None of these are current customers; we are looking for the first.
