Venturing off-grid can be thrilling—but it’s also unpredictable. ZOLEO’s satellite messenger ensures you stay connected, safe, and trackable no matter where you go. Here’s a complete breakdown of its key features and why every outdoor adventurer should consider adding one to their gear.
Two-Way Messaging That Just Works
Seamless connectivity switching: Automatically moves between Wi‑Fi, cellular, and Iridium satellite—so your messages always go through using the most efficient network.
Dedicated SMS/email address: Access a unique ZOLEO number/email to receive texts or emails from anyone—even people using standard phones.
Free check-ins: Send unlimited “I’m OK” check-ins via the app or device button—with optional GPS tagging—for reassurance without SOS-level alarm.
Location Sharing & ZOLEO Track
Manual check-in with GPS: One-touch check-ins can automatically include your location—perfect for letting loved ones know exactly where you are .
Location Share+: Premium plan option—shares your position at set intervals (6 min–4 hrs), with real-time breadcrumb trails in the app.
ZOLEO Track (enterprise): Enables multi-device tracking on a web map with topographic, street, or satellite views. View last 100 reports, SOS events, and export data—ideal for group excursions or field operations
Progressive SOS & Emergency Response
Dedicated SOS button: Can be triggered via device or app, sending alerts through the Iridium network even if your phone dies.
Progressive SOS updates: You receive ongoing confirmation in the app—alert received, GPS location sent, and even ability to chat with response center.
Global Rescue: SOS alerts are routed to professional emergency monitors 24/7.
Specs That Matter
Rugged & travel-ready: Weighs ~150 g with long-lasting battery (200+ hrs stand-by), built tough to IP68 / MIL‑STD‑810G specs.
Precision GPS: On-device GPS/GNSS accurate to ~2.5 m—great for emergency pinpointing or sharing exact trails.
Affordable pricing: $199 USD MSRP with satellite messaging plans from $20–$50/month. You can even suspend service when off-season.
Who It’s Built For
Outdoor enthusiasts: hikers, paddlers, snowmobilers—anyone heading beyond cell coverage.
Remote workers & groups: ZOLEO Track scales for outfitters, guides, or safety-conscious teams.
Families & solo travelers: check-ins ease anxiety and emergency updates “spot on track.”
Why ZOLEO Stands Out
True connectivity simplicity — no juggling apps or coverage zones; it just works.
Enhanced safety experience — progressive SOS keeps you informed during emergencies.
Scalability for all users — from solo hikers to enterprise teams via ZOLEO Track.
f you value effortless messaging, transparent location sharing, and reliable emergency support—ZOLEO is a powerful companion in your pack. Its thoughtful design, rugged build, and all-in-one safety logic check every box for responsible adventuring.
