Turn Your Smartphone into a Satellite Phone
Leveraging the Global Iridium Satellite Network, the Bivy Stick ensures you have communication anywhere you have a clear view of the sky.

The "Dedicated Number" Advantage
A standout feature that sets the Bivy Stick apart from other communicators is the assignment of a dedicated phone number and email address.
