To be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress, it will be available in Q2 of this year.
to get access to the satellite messaging feature, then Motorola has a simpler solution that does much more. The Motorola Defy Satellite link can turn any Android or Apple phone into an emergency messaging service using geostationary satellites orbiting 22,300 miles above the surface of the Earth. The device just needs to connect to the phone via Bluetooth.
The Defy Satellite Link isn't locked onto any mobile device. So, one device can be used by multiple people in a household, as long as it is paired with their smartphone. At the core of the device lies MediaTek's 3GPP-NTN standard modem that connects to the satellites thousands of miles above. Needless to say but the emergency services are available only if one subscribes to the SOS Assist pack, which starts at $4.99 a month. For those looking for a little more than emergency assistance, there is a $149 annual subscription that provides 30 two-way text messages per month in addition to the SOS assistance.app on their phone.
For days when the smartphone battery dies, the Defy Satellite link has two buttons, a location check-in button to alert a dear one of your location or a physical SOS button to call for help. The SOS assistance is provided through FocusPoint International, which has 24/7 monitored response centers to handle emergency and assistance requests.
The device is expected to be launched in the Q2 of this year with satellite coverage across Europe and North America also going live with the launch.
