Spot Satellite Messenger
Unlike a traditional GPS device which only recieves a
satellite signal indicating your location, SPOT utilizes
dual satellite networks to receive your location as well as
transmit it along with pre-programmed messages to the
recipients of your choice. Backed by one of the world’s
leading mobile satellite companies, the SPOT satellite
network is currently employed by over 50,000 governmental
and industrial clients, and averages a greater than 99%
message success rate. No matter where you roam, SPOT gives
you a vital line of communication with friends and family
when and where you want it, and emergency assistance when
and where you need it.
* 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:
o Alert 9-1-1 – Dispatch emergency responders to
your exact location
o Ask for Help – Request help from friends and
family in your exact location
o Check In – Let contacts know where you are and
that you’re okay
o 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.
