About GeoBlackout

GeoBlackout is a collaborative platform that detects internet outages and power cuts worldwide — in real time and with high accuracy.

Powered by millions of user reports every year, GeoBlackout (or gBo) helps people understand the origin of the outage affecting them and share the issue occurring at their specific location.

Transparency and communication for energy and internet networks

Our mission at GeoBlackout was born from a simple observation: companies that manage massive infrastructures — whether internet networks or power grids — often lack transparency and communication during service outages.

Meanwhile, users are left in the dark, with little or no explanation about the cause or the status of the issue.

GeoBlackout was created to fill that gap — providing real-time, crowdsourced visibility on network disruptions across the world.

We believe people should collaborate through a common tool to better understand the outages that impact them.
By aggregating user reports, our platform offers collective insight into network disruptions — helping everyone overcome the information gap left by major operators.

Detecting internet outages

GeoBlackout excels at detecting internet outages in real time through a large and continuously growing base of user reports from around the world.

By monitoring network anomalies, the platform provides precise information about connectivity disruptions — whether they are local or global.
Users can quickly identify whether a failure is due to their internet service provider or a wider network issue.

Thanks to advanced algorithms, gBo analyzes live data to determine the source of problems, helping people understand the cause of interruptions and follow the evolution of the situation as it unfolds.

Detecting power cuts

In addition to monitoring internet outages, GeoBlackout is also a powerful tool for identifying and mapping power cuts.

Based on user-submitted outage reports, gBo can visualize affected areas and estimate the extent of power disruptions.
It can determine whether an outage is local, caused by a specific infrastructure, or part of a larger network failure.

By providing real-time data on the duration and scale of power cuts, GeoBlackout helps users better prepare for energy interruptions and coordinate responses more effectively.
