One advantage of this device is that you can attach it to your backpack and take it everywhere: land, Air, and Sea.
In case you need to call for help because the weather is getting worse and more dangerous, or you run out of energy due to the misjudged distance, or you are in trouble drifting far away due to the increasing wind...And what if your stomach is upset by the windy waves or you simply lose the sense of security due to any unexpected event, and where you are, mobile network coverage is less than zero?
Typically, people, in this case, automatically answer that they "take their phone out of the package" (provided that they usually carry it with them). We know from the news and experience that this doesn't always work because:
- (in most cases) we don't take our phones with us on the water;
- our phone is not waterproof, or we are afraid that we will drop it in the water and it will submerge, so we pack it in a waterproof bag;
- we fasten our luggage behind us, making it difficult to access;
- thanks to the waves and the wind, we don't even dare to take out our phones;
- we don't talk about the fact that our phone died during the day or that we rowed to a place where there was no signal strength;
Unfortunately, SUP and kayak rental companies also often say that this is a real problem, not to mention that they can't even tell tenants if a storm is expected. (In certain areas in Croatia, it has already been made mandatory for rental companies to rent out devices only with a satellite tracker.)
This is where the ZOLEO satellite communicator comes into play, ensuring continuous contact and security worldwide.
