HMD OffGrid is a compact satellite communications device to help you stay connected everywhere
Launching in Australia next month, the HMD OffGrid is a brilliant solution for outdoor enthusiasts who need to stay connected.
We've already seen the likes of Apple and Google start to offer emergency satellite connectivity in their premium smartphones, but HMD is making it easy for anyone to stay connected with the OffGrid.
This compact, lightweight device measures in at about 90 x 60 x 12 mm, and weighs just 60 grams. It acts as a gateway device, using L Band satellite radio spectrum to allow any iOS or Android phone to send and receive an SMS using your own phone number.
It can also contact emergency services directly from the app, giving your last known location.
