The HMD OffGrid is a new accessory announced by HMD Global today that will bridge the gap between cellular and satellite ,offering connectivity to the most remote places on Earth!
The Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) Communication device uses cutting edge technology to keep you connected anywhere on Earth as 70% of Earth’s landmass remains outside the reach of mobile network.
Using the L Band satellite radio spectrum, the HMD OffGrid will enable Android and iOS uses worldwide to connect directly to satellites. Even in the most remote corners of the Earth, you can still text and receive message, share your live location to up to 5 recipients and get SOS services . The “check in” feature allows you to send a pre-configured message to friends and family with just a click of a dedicated button.
HMD’s new NTN communication device weighs a mere 60g, boasts a 3 days battery life and has MIL-STD-810H military grade durability that delivers satellite connectivity and with Overwatch x Rescue™, rest assured that you have a 24/7 multilingual premium SOS service at your disposal.
HMD Grid will be retailing later this month at £199/$199 in United States, Europe, Australia and New Zealand and comes with flexible subscription plan which includes access to premium search and rescue service.
- HMD Unlimited Plan: $14.99/month or $139.99/ year for unlimited messages, check-in, and SOS services. Optional unlimited live tracking for $4.99/month. One time activation fee of $9.99.
- HMD Freedom Plan: $79.99/year (one-time payment) with up to 350 text and check-in messages. Optional unlimited live tracking for $4.99/month. One time activation fee of $19.99.
