BIVY STICK :
Comprised
of the Bivy Stick and Bivy App, the Bivy Platform pairs feature rich
hardware and software to create the perfect blend of safety and
convenience. Ideal for adventures and off grid activities of all shapes
and sizes, utilize the Bivy Platform to plan your experience, stay on
track for the duration of that experience, and remain in contact with
everyone that matters throughout, all while knowing that help is always
available at the simple push of a button.
Use
the Bivy Stick to turn your cell phone into a satellite communication
device. With global satellite coverage via the Iridium satellite
network, anywhere you have a view of the sky, you can communicate
through the Bivy Stick. While conveniently compact, the Bivy Stick still
offers a comprehensive feature set including two-way text messaging,
SOS, location sharing, one-touch Checkin, and detailed weather reports
sent straight to your cell phone via satellite. Additionally, offering a
feature not provided with many other satellite communicators, the Bivy
Stick provides users with a dedicated phone number and email. This
important feature allows unsolicited incoming messages, meaning that
those that are most important to you can reach you at any time, without
the need for you to initiate contact.
The
value of the Bivy Stick is further enhanced via key accessories such as
the large variety of available mounting options. The many available
mounts allow users to attach the Bivy Stick to any vehicle, backpack or
structure and make it an ideal device for adventurers who find
themselves going from one activity to another. The available portable
and lightweight solar panel also provides for greater flexibility of
use. Featuring intelligent charging technology, the solar panel allows
users to efficiently harness solar power and conveniently extend the
battery life of the Bivy Stick while off grid.
