Spot™ uses dual satellite
networks to receive your location (like a traditional GPS device)
and also to transmit your location (along with pre-programmed
messages) to the recipients of your choice!
Product Features:
- SPOT is the world’s first
satellite messenger. SPOT sends your exact GPS coordinates and
selected messages over commercial satellites to tell others of
your location and status.
- SPOT works around the
world, independently of cellular networks.
- SPOT features four key
functions that enable users to send messages to friends, family
or emergency responders, based upon varying levels of need:
- Alert 9-1-1 – Dispatch
emergency responders to your exact location
- Ask for Help – Request
help from friends and family in your exact location
- Check In – Let contacts
know where you are and that you’re OK
- Track Progress – Send
and save your location and allow contacts to track your
progress using Google Maps™
- SPOT uses the GPS satellite
system to determine a user’s location and the SPOT satellite
network to transmit that location and the user’s status.
- The SPOT satellite network
is a commercial satellite network with a proven 99.4%
reliability rate while processing over 6 million messages a
month – the equivalent of 2.3 messages per second.
- This unit is limited to
the Hardware only. This unit MUST be registered
at SPOT with a subscription service in order for this product to
function.
