ZOLEO Satellite Communicator: Global messaging, even without signal. Affordable, reliable safety system for staying connected anywhere. Ruggedly designed, location-aware, and Iridium-based, the ZOLEO Satellite Communicator device will keep you connected and secure when venturing beyond mobile coverage. An active subscription plan is required to transmit messages over the Iridium satellite network.ZOLEO’s messaging functionality reflects a deep integration of capabilities between the user’s smartphone and ZOLEO mobile app, the ZOLEO satellite communicator, a sophisticated but invisible (to the user) back-end messaging infrastructure, and the Iridium satellite network. Iridium is the only network that provides truly global coverage over the entire planet. ZOLEO Inc.’s unique approach overcomes the limitations of today’s mobile satellite devices, by transmitting messages via satellite, mobile, and Wi-Fi to offer a truly seamless global messaging experience – as it was meant to be. These include: A familiar and non-technical messaging experience for smartphone users. An app that seamlessly transitions between Wi-Fi, mobile, and satellite networks, so that your message is delivered regardless of whether you are currently connected to the ZOLEO device. Messages of up to 950 characters (app-to-app), as opposed to the traditional SMS 160 characters supported by other satellite messaging devices. A dedicated ZOLEO “04” Australian SMS number, so that your contacts can proactively message you as opposed to needing to wait for a message from you, to which they can reply. Easy device sharing whereby your family member, friend, or co-worker can use ZOLEO by simply downloading the free app and connecting to the device. These features and others help make the ZOLEO messaging experience far more functional and familiar than anything on the market today. In addition, it still offers more traditional satellite device capabilities such as an SOS button and GPS location. It is also the clear value leader in mobile satellite communications with a low device price, free app, and rate plans that can include lots of messages -- or even unlimited messaging -- for reasonable monthly fees.
