Stay connected beyond cellular. Get peace of mind with S.O.S.
If you’re going camping, climbing, biking, or hiking for the first time, it’s important that you have the right gear to stay safe. SPOT, a leader in satellite messaging and emergency notification technologies, has the perfect device to keep you safe during your next trek!
SPOT X provides 2-way satellite messaging when you’re off the grid or beyond reliable cellular coverage.
