If you think you know what your smartphone can do, think again. Your smartphone becomes a satellite phone with the Thuraya Satsleeve Hotspot - keeping you safe and in touch with the most important people in your life.
The SatSleeve Hotspot's stand creates a portable satellite Wi-Fi hotspot, giving you satellite connectivity without physically docking your smartphone to a unit, and freedom to move indoors. You can leave the stand outside, stay indoors or in your vehicle, and use your smartphone in satellite mode inside. The Hotspot is the smallest, lightest, and most capable in the industry. It also comes with an additional safety feature - a programmable SOS button that works even if your smartphone isn't connected. This convenient function allows you to call a predefined number of your choice.
The SatSleeve range allows you to make calls, use messaging applications, update your social network, send and receive email and SMS, and access apps. They also come with an additional safety feature – a programmable SOS button that works even if your smartphone isn’t connected. This convenient function lets customers call a predefined number of their choice.
