Motorola Defy Satellite Link powered by MediaTek

    Winner of the GLOMO Award for Best In Show at MWC 2023, the Motorola Defy Satellite Link is a robust Bluetooth accessory that brings always-available satellite connectivity for messaging, emergency assistance and location sharing to any smartphone, regardless of whether Android or iOS. Powered by MediaTek's industry-leading, 3GPP standards-based NTN chipset, this compact, lightweight hotspot device can easily be attached to clothes or bags using the handy attachment loop, while the battery supplies multiple days of use, allowing users to travel on extended treks beyond typical cellular coverage.

    The tough, pocket-friendly device has also passed Mil-Spec 810H testing and is waterproof and dustproof with an IP68 rating. The design includes physical SOS and location ‘Check In’ buttons, allowing it to offer some functions even when apart from its paired smartphone.

    Simply link via Bluetooth and the defy satellite link allows any smartphone to connect to the Bullitt Satellite Messenger service. The new Motorola Defy range will use the service to access existing geostationary satellites, providing affordable and continuous coverage internationally over existing, well-established infrastructure. With this new technology, customers can message over satellite, as long as they have a clear view of the sky.
