Features

SMS
Send a message through your device to an email address or SMS number. Not all mobile networks allow you to send text messages to satellite networks and as a result text messaging can be unreliable. Please check with your provider or contact us for further information.

TRACKING
Automated tracking is available on this device meaning contacts back home can follow your journey or you can monitor the movement of your assets.

VOICE
Stay only a voice call away from friends, family or colleagues even when in the remotest of areas.

SOS
Once the emergency button is pressed on your beacon, your location will be sent to a rescue coordination centre via satellite. This SOS is then diverted to emergency services near to your location to aid rescue. The location will be continuously sent for a minimum of 24 hours.
