ZOLEO Global Satellite Communicator User Manual

1. Introduction

Seamless global messaging is here. For anyone who ventures beyond cell coverage, only
ZOLEO links with your phone or tablet to provide seamless global messaging that follows you in
and out of cell coverage — plus added safety features like SOS alerts and check-in that you can
count on world-wide.
What can ZOLEO do for you?
• Message anywhere over satellite, cellular and Wi-Fi.
• SOS alerting with 24/7 monitoring.
• Check-in to let others know you're OK.
• Share your GPS location.
The ZOLEO Global Satellite Communicator is a portable global messaging device that connects
you to the Iridium satellite network for pole-to-pole global coverage.
The ZOLEO App is a free optional extra that can be installed on iOS and Android smart devices
(such as smart phones and tablets) and enables you to:
• Chat with others who have the ZOLEO App installed (called app-to-app messaging).
• Send and receive SMS messages and emails.
• Request weather forecasts.
ZOLEO's least-cost routing messaging architecture supports delivery over Wi-Fi, cellular and
satellite networks, which optimizes your experience by first sending messages via the internet
through a Wi-Fi or cellular connection, and then via the Iridium satellite network if internet
coverage is unavailable. Conversely, if your ZOLEO communicator is turned off or has no
satellite reception, messages will be routed to your ZOLEO App via the internet, so you rarely
miss a message.
The ZOLEO system's ability to detect network availability and route messages accordingly
provides an invaluable feature for those who venture in and out of remote areas on a regular
basis.
