Satellite link phone

If you have been eyeing the latest Apple iPhone to get access to the satellite messaging feature, then Motorola has a simpler solution that does much more. The Motorola Defy Satellite link can turn any Android or Apple phone into an emergency messaging service using geostationary satellites orbiting 22,300 miles (~36,000 km) above the surface of the Earth. The device just needs to connect to the phone via Bluetooth.

 

To be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress, it will be available in Q2 of this year.
