It’s reliable satellite connection, wherever you are in the world.
The Bivy Stick is as compact as it is powerful and can be easily mounted to any vehicle, backpack, or structure. It comes with a raft of built-in features including two-way SMS messaging, SOS calls, location sharing, one-touch Check-in, and in-depth weather reports sent right to your smartphone.

The Bivy App
