SPOT Satellite Messenger
Information
The great outdoors can be a big,
uncertain place. But you’ve just purchased the most peace of mind
available for the active outdoor adventurer or smartly-prepared
individual. SPOT is the world’s first satellite messenger, using the GPS
satellite system to determine your location and communications
satellites to transmit that information to the chosen recipient. SPOT
gives you and your loved ones peace of mind by allowing you to notify
them or a GEOS International 9-1-1 Emergency
How SPOT works 1. GPS satellites provide coordinates. 2. SPOT messenger’s onboard GPS chip determines your exact coordinates and sends your location and message to the SPOT satellite system. 3. SPOT commercial satellites relay your message to specific satellite antennas around the world. 4. Satellite antennas and supporting equipment route your message and location to the appropriate network.
5. Your message is delivered according to
your instructions via text message, email or
emergency notification
via the response center. 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.
