SkippersMate has been a long time supporter of SOLAS (safety of life at sea - and on land) and so, we could not say no to selling the ZOLEO Global Satellite SOS Communicator. This unit, less than the size of a mobile phone, is a real game changer when it comes to distress alerts as it is a 2 Way Communicator, unlike the traditional forms of personal locator beacons which only send a single signal to the satellite network.
World-Wide Connectivity And A Safety System You Can Count On.
Better still, this Australia company based in Melbourne, has a joint venture with one of the world's leading partners with Iridium mobile satellite network operators.
Only ZOLEO connects with the free ZOLEO app on your phone or tablet, to provide seamless global messaging that follows you in and out of mobile coverage — plus added safety features you can count on world-wide.
ZOLEO extends your coverage to everywhere by transmitting messages over the Iridium satellite network via the device and mobile and Wi-Fi via the Zoleo app so you can always count on your connection:
Offers a familiar ‘texting’ experience from your phone or tablet
Makes it easy for contacts to reach you via your dedicated ZOLEO SMS number and email address
Enables you to enjoy more value for your dollar versus other satellite communicators
