The Thuraya SatSleeve Hotspot streamlines the global communication needs of all smartphone users, Apple or Android.
Created for customers who prefer to use their smartphone separately from their satellite unit, the SatSleeve Hotspot enables a portable Wi-FI hotspot anywhere in the world. This allows you as a smartphone user to connect to the World Wide Web via the SatSleeve generated hotspot from any location in the world. This device comes with an added stand inside the packaging and harnesses the connectivity power enabled by the Thuraya satellite network, which covers two thirds of the globe including over 160 countries.
The SatSleeve Hotspot can run for about 70 hours in Standby mode if the Wi-Fi is turned off. So if you are in a situation where you need to conserve power, turning off the SatSleeve Hotspot's Wi-Fi and using it without your smart phone can be important. Even without a smart phone, you can make a phone call to one preconfigured number using nothing but the S.O.S. button on the SatSleeve Hotspot. You can also receive inbound calls using the S.O.S. button. When an incoming call occurs, a vibration alert lets you know.
The SatSleeve Hotspot comes equipped with an S.O.S. button that works even if your smart phone is not connected. The S.O.S. button will make an outgoing call to a predefined number set by the user. The S.O.S. button can also receive an incoming call. The SatSleeve Hotspot has a built-in microphone and speaker. So when you make an S.O.S. call or receive an inbound call using the S.O.S. button you can communicate directly through the SatSleeve Hotspot even if its Wi-Fi is off or no smart phone is available!
