Stay connected with Milo Action Communicator

The cutting-edge communication solution start-up, Milo™, has launched of The Action Communicator in the Australian market, an innovative re-imagined walkie-talkie, created to make communication seamless during outdoor adventures.

Designed for adventure travellers who go off-grid without phone or network connection, the Milo™ Action Communicator is a hands-free communication device that requires no mobile or internet connection to allow users to be in the moment while enjoying multi-way group conversations.

The Californian software company’s Action Communicator is the perfect companion for all outdoor adventures; whether camping, hiking, skiing or exploring new terrains.

Milo™ is the brainchild of Australian-born founder Peter Celinski, who on a family ski trip was unable to keep up with his children on the slopes. Shouting and using traditional walkie-talkies, Celinski found nothing worked well enough to stay connected on the mountain. This experience, combined with Celinski’s expertise in audio engineering, was what led the Aussie dad to establish Milo™ in the U.S. in 2017.

Backed by a 2017 Kickstarter campaign, Milo™ generated USD$2.5 million in pre-orders within its first 37 days, claiming 5th position on the most funded campaigns at that time. Fast-forward to 2022 and Milo™ won the Time Magazine Best Invention Award and the coveted Red Dot Design award. The company’s total funding to date has now reached USD$18 million. Determined to continue this success and grow its strong community of 65,000 adventurers, Milo™ is innovating the way we communicate.

Brought to Australia and New Zealand by premium consumer electronics distributor AQIPA, APAC General Manager Christopher Scott is pleased to bring this innovative outdoor tech product to market.

“The Milo offering is a first-to-market proposition when it comes to hands-free outdoor communication technology and one that already has had a groundswell of attention from outdoors enthusiasts in the lead-up to launch this month”, Scott said.

“Whether you’re out racing down the winter ski slopes or surfing along the coastal beaches, we believe that staying connected with your loved ones during all outdoor adventures is vital for safety and overall enjoyment. We’re thrilled to support the Milo launch into the Oceania region.”
