Introducing the SPOT X Satellite Messenger - Bluetooth
The intelligent, pocket-sized SPOT X Satellite Messenger – Bluetooth provides anyone beyond the reach of traditional cellular coverage with a means of staying in touch with those back home or back at HQ. Through a Bluetooth connection with your smartphone, the SPOT X syncs to your phone’s contact list, allowing you to exchange messages either with a custom messaging format or by choosing one of the 14 predefined messages that are built-in to the device itself, all from the 2.7” backlit display. There is also SOS and tracking functionalities within the device. Users can select from 2½, 5, 10, 30 or 60 minute tracking intervals to let family, friends, and other travellers follow along on the journey.
Seamless Communication Anywhere
Operating via the Globalstar satellite network means the SPOT X has near-global coverage. Communication can be achieved from virtually anywhere in the world, except polar regions and parts of Africa below the equator. We would not recommend taking a SPOT X to places like the Arctic or south pole as communication streams will not be picked up by the Globalstar constellation. However, when you are within reach of the orbiting satellites, two-way messaging and check-in alerts can be seamlessly achieved as if you were using your smartphone in an urban area and a standard 4G connection.
Bluetooth Integration: Expanding Functionality and Convenience
The integrated Bluetooth element of the SPOT X is what makes it so accessible. Almost everyone is familiar with the concept of how Bluetooth works with a smartphone: you pair it with the compatible device and it then has access to your phone, which is exactly what the SPOT X needs in order to let users communicate from remote locations. It’s what makes the SPOT X one of the more attractive devices in the satellite tracker UK market.
Versatility and Practical Applications
Not only can the SPOT X be taken on day-trip remote hikes or bike rides in the country, but it is also perfect for those working in the most remote locations in some of the toughest conditions and environments around the world. SPOT devices, including the SPOT Gen4 Satellite Tracker, have helped thousands of people worldwide call for help in emergency situations. The SPOT X, rugged and pocket-sized, is an essential piece of kit for workers in remote and rural areas, helping them to stay connected beyond the boundaries of reliable cellular service.
User Experience and Future Innovations
It is not clear whether there will be a fourth model to join the current line-up of SPOT devices, however, the SPOT X tidily fits the bill for anyone looking for the ability to send SMS messages to any phone number or email address in the world from virtually any location. One of the things some people may be put off by is the keypad size; typing a message out on the device’s keypad may take longer than on your average smartphone, due to the layout and sizing of the keys themselves. The screen is also on the small side at just 2.7”, however, it does display vital information clearly and with backlit abilities for darker conditions. Finally, when set to a 10-minute tracking interval, the battery life of the SPOT X can last up to 10 days, meaning there’s no great need to panic about it running out of charge while you’re off-grid.
