Climbers, mountaineers, and long-distance trekkers, take note: thanks to this nifty little device, you now have full access to EchoStar and Inmarsat satellites in orbit over the earth, giving your smartphone connectivity anytime, anywhere.
The device uses Bluetooth to pair your smartphone (Android 10 or later, or iPhone 14 or later) to the satellite network (via Bullitt Satellite Connect), giving you access to two-way messaging, location sharing, and an SOS service in case of an emergency.
No need to take a GPS device or sat phone out into the mountains or on a long-distance hike; just pack this compact little Motorola device in your gear, and you’ll always be able to stay in touch and send updates on your progress.
Weighing just 70 grams and sized no larger than a credit card, it’s the ultimate portable solution for turning your smartphone into a SAT phone for a wallet-friendly price. Expect an April 2023 release.
