Mounting & enclosures

Where the iPad lives.

Two options depending on the setup — a grab-and-go magnetic mount for crew, or a locked kiosk for unattended visitor check-in.

Network

Wi-Fi, plus offline.

The Muster App needs Wi-Fi for sync between iPads, the admin dashboard, and push notifications.

Core features — visitor check-in, crew board, muster drills — keep working offline and sync automatically when connectivity returns. The label printer connects over Wi-Fi too, so no cables between devices.
