Personal locator beacon vs. satellite messenger
- Choose a personal locator beacon if you primarily want an emergency SOS device, don't need two-way communication, and want to avoid subscription costs.
- Choose a satellite messenger if you regularly venture beyond cell coverage and want features like two-way messaging, navigation, weather or location sharing.
For satellite messengers, also consider
- Messaging: Do you need one-way or two-way messaging?
- Device integration: Do you want the device to pair with your smartphone?
- Subscription costs: Factor in ongoing subscription costs.
