ZOLEO is the first consumer-focused global messaging solution of its kind to leverage Iridium® Short Burst Data® (SBD®), cellular and Wi-Fi® networks. Aimed at anyone who ventures beyond mobile coverage for work or recreation, the compact ZOLEO device connects via Bluetooth® with a free app on the user’s Android® or Apple® smartphone or tablet to provide a seamless messaging experience as the user moves through coverage zones, and only ZOLEO automatically routes messages over the least cost network. Personal safety features like check-in, hyper-local weather forecasts, and 24/7 worldwide SOS alerting offer extra peace-of-mind when venturing off-the-grid. Users also receive a dedicated SMS messaging number and email address for easy sharing and communication with contacts. Rugged, GPS location-aware, and Iridium satellite-based, the ZOLEO device links with the free ZOLEO app on a smartphone or tablet to keep you connected when outside cell coverage.
