The SolusGuard Difference

Always Connected, Anywhere

Our innovative solution combines satellite-based communication, check-ins, and alerts in one cohesive platform. By integrating our satellite extender with the mobile safety app, the system seamlessly transitions between cellular and satellite networks. This guarantees that every safety check-in, communication, and alert remains consistent and reliable — regardless of where employees are working.

How it Works for Staff Working in Remote Locations

4 Steps to Consistent Safety Communcation

1. Activate the Satellite Extender

When employees work in areas without cellular coverage, power up the satellite extender and ensure it has a clear view of the sky. This establishes a reliable satellite connection.

2. Connect the SolusGuard Mobile App

Open the SolusGuard mobile safety app and enable satellite connectivity with the tap of a button. This seamlessly bridges the mobile app with the extender, ensuring uninterrupted communication. 

3. Continue Communication and Alerts

Employees can keep using the app’s familiar features — two-way messaging, check-ins, and SOS alerts — all powered by the Iridium satellite network. This guarantees consistent safety communication, no matter where they are. 

4. Trigger a Rapid Response

If an employee misses a check-in or triggers an SOS alert, the system promptly notifies their contact network, monitoring agents or the designated internal security team with the employee’s exact GPS location, ensuring swift action.

Common Questions

Unsure if our satellite option is right for you?

How does the SolusGuard satellite solution compare to Garmin inReach devices, Spot X, and other popular satellite communication tools?

Our solution incorporates the same essential safety features as these devices, including SOS, check-ins, location sharing, and two-way communication. The primary distinction of our offering is that users access all functionalities via the SolusGuard mobile safety app on their smartphones, rather than through the satellite device itself. Furthermore, our solution utilizes the SolusGuard alert monitoring and response tools, enhancing its flexibility and alignment with the requirements of large organizations.

How does the Satellite Communication solution work?

Our satellite extender pairs to the SolusGuard Mobile Safety App using a BlueTooth, restoring connectivity in areas without cellular service. Once powered up with a clear view of the sky, the satellite extender will send check-in commands, alerts, and messages over the Iridium Satellite Network.

Is complex setup required for satellite connectivity?

No. Our satellite extenders come pre-integrated with the SolusGuard Mobile Safety App — just unbox, power up, and connect. This plug-and-play approach makes it easy for your team to stay protected, even in remote locations.

Does the satellite system track employee location continuously?

No. We capture location data from the users smartphone only when necessary — during active check-ins, an SOS alert, or when a wearable panic button is pressed. This approach protects privacy while providing essential safety information in critical moments.  

How does satellite communication integrate with the rest of the SolusGuard system?

It works seamlessly with our mobile safety app and alert monitoring system. Whether employees are in cellular or satellite mode, every check-in and alert is transmitted reliably, ensuring consistent protection across all work environments.
