The Zoleo satellite communicator provides affordable peace of mind for remote-area travel.

Remote area communications for travellers have come a long way over the years. The old HF radios have made way for satellite phones, cell phones cover a lot more areas, and the world truly has become a small place with less places where you can escape.

Comms with the outside world are essential when you’re some place where anything could happen and, when it does, you’re a long way from help. Sat-phones are the standard these days, but they can be expensive to buy, hire and use. A cheaper alternative that doesn’t give you the full use that a sat-phone would but still keeps you in touch is a satellite communicator, and we’ve been playing with a unit from Zoleo.
