versatility and a new user experience with SPOT X® App
SPOT LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Globalstar, Inc., (NYSE
American: GSAT) and a leader in satellite communications and
technologies, introduces a new SPOT X® two-way satellite
messenger. Users now have the flexibility to use the new SPOT X®
device to connect SPOT X to your smartphone via Bluetooth® wireless
technology through the SPOT X app to send and receive satellite
messages.
When you’re off the grid or have unreliable cellular coverage,
SPOT X provides satellite communications and emergency notification
technology to the avid adventurer or the remote worker as the
world’s only two-way satellite messenger with full QWERTY keyboard.
SPOT X has its own dedicated U.S. mobile number, so others can
conveniently message you directly at any time. With unlimited use
of 14 pre-programmed messages and the ability to access your
contacts in the App, you can communicate easily with family,
friends, coworkers or directly with Search & Rescue services in
a life-threatening situation.
“The vast majority of our current customers are already taking
their cell phones into the backcountry,” said David Kagan, CEO at
Globalstar. “Adding Bluetooth® capability to SPOT X® allows
users to seamlessly connect their smartphone and use an intuitive
interface to send and receive messages via the Globalstar Satellite
Network. SPOT X® continues to work solely for up to 10 days
on a single charge, with or without a paired phone. “
The new and improved SPOT X® with Bluetooth® wireless technology
and new SPOT X app is the latest addition to the award-winning SPOT
family of products, providing affordable, two-way messaging,
tracking and S.O.S. in emergencies for hundreds of thousands of
users all over the world. Through a direct connection to the GEOS
International Emergency Coordination Center, SPOT has initiated
more than 6,600 rescues around the globe within the last ten
years.
SPOT X® is available online and at outdoor retailers at $249.99
USD with both month-to-month Flex plans and annual service plans
starting at $11.99 USD per month. The Bluetooth® feature
enables satellite device functionality using an iOS and Android
