Bivy Stick Satellite Messenger Group Rentals
The Bivy Stick is an ultra-light 3.4 oz device that can send and receive short messages over the global Iridium satellite network. Like all Iridium devices, a Bivy Stick can work virtually anywhere. All you need is a clear view of the sky. It is very tough and reliable and has an amazing IP67 rating against water and dust intrusion. Normally, the Bivy Stick is intended to be used in conjunction with Bluetooth-capable iPhone or Android smartphones, but even if a smartphone is unavailable, a built-in S.O.S. button allows you to declare an emergency by sending a message with your GPS location to Global Rescue. If a smartphone with the Bivy Stick app installed is available, you can communicate via text message with Global Rescue to describe your emergency and receive further guidance. Another safety feature is a built-in Check-In button that lets you send a preset message to your friends so that they know you are OK. Every Bivy Stick has its own US mobile number which makes texting with cell phones easy. Outfitter Satellite's Bivy Stick rental kits include unlimited use of texting, location sharing, safety check-ins, and weather forecast downloads. Group rental discounts depend on the number of Bivy Stick devices rented and the duration of the rental. Rentals longer than 4 months have a much larger discount.
