NetFreedom Pioneers' Toosheh system delivers curated data bundles over free-to-air satellite TV signals, bypassing Iran's internet shutdowns. During the January 2026 blackout, it distributed news, protest updates, first-aid guides, and security tools to millions of Iranians. The system piggybacks data onto MPEG transport streams, making it undetectable and untraceable. To counter satellite jamming, NFP uses RAID-like redundancy, increasing error-correction overhead to 25-30% during active interference. Operating costs run tens of thousands of dollars monthly, previously funded by the U.S. State Department until August 2025. NFP is also developing local Wi-Fi redistribution features and exploring deployments in Afghanistan, disaster zones, and refugee camps.
