What is a Satellite Communicator? Do you know what it is or why it’s important to have one?
What is a Satellite Communicator?
A satellite communicator is a portable device that is designed to allow seamless two-way communication, particularly in areas where there is no other reliable communications, such as cellular coverage.+
What are the Used For?
Satellite Communicators are primarily used to contact Search and Rescue teams and two-way message in life threatening situations.
Why do You Need One?
At some time in your life, you will either need to contact search and rescue for yourself or someone else, when you’re outside of cell service. This is the only reliable way to get help.
Examples of Why I Needed One.
Here are a few examples of times I was close to needing a satellite messenger on past outdoor adventures.
- Near miss on a rattle snake bite.
- Altitude sickness at 12,000 feet on a hike in Colorado
- Son injured on a trail late in the day.
- Another hiker had fallen and had a bad gash on his head and needed help to get off the mountain.
- Close call with a water moccasin on a hike in Arkansas
