Walk and talk - Motorola Defy - Satellite Link

In this walk and talk I am joined by two special guests, Amon and Antony from the Bullitt Group, who created the Motorola Defy satellite link.

We stretch our legs along the Pennine Way as it passes through Yorkshire and talk in depth about the Motorola Defy satellite link.

8:35 FUCK YEAH! Love that! Motorola has always made more affordable alternatives and Garmin has been absolutely ripping everyone off for so long. This a survival device, it should not be so unaffordable. This is going to really change things. I already bought mine!

Great video and break down of the Motorola Defy Satellite Link, GPS Training!

Overwatch & Rescue, by FocusPoint International is proud to be partnered with Bullitt to support the Defy SOS function, so if you are interested, we'd be happy to spend time with you on a walk or call to chat through some of our international rescue stories from SOS alerts.

I have been waiting for a product like this to have with me when I paramotor, will be nice to finally have peace of mind in the event something happens. Can’t wait to get one!

[DarkCoffee]

Very cool! Thanks for showcasing this tech!

[andrewjohnson]

This is amazing. And while people know about Bullitt and Motorola, they hardly know that even Mediatek has a role to play in this.

[MikeysOutdoorAdventures]

oh man i would love to try this product while hiking etc :)

[ashleybaker]

I be ordering one soon as I can thanks for bringing it to the channel

[meeronc]

@14:24 the video discusses aiming the device until "it goes to zero." Can you clarify what "zero" the gentleman was referring to and also how to "point" the device to the satellite (what part points to the satellite and at what angle). I see the reported azimuth so I'm assuming that that's the direction I should point it. Thanks for the great video.

[KevinAnderson]

Counting down the days until the release in New Zealand!

How secure is the SOS button against accidental activation?

[oliversmith]

How does the MediaTek chipset in the Motorola Defy Satellite Link handle interference from other wireless signals?

[InVinoVeritas.]

Great overview of what promises to be a 'disruptive' product!! Can you reach out to these 2 chaps again & ask what a grid down situation without cellular service would look like as far as needing 2 of these devices, one to send & another to receive messaging? Thanks!!

[ForbesToby]

Can you still use the SOS feature if your phone has run out of power? Are the triage questions optional?

[Vicentecarmonagonza]

Excellent video!! How long would it take to also cover the Himalayas for this device/system? It would be wonderful to use it in expeditions to the biggest mountains in the world.

[pootinplays]

I had a few questions that I am not sure were really clarified.
When in cell service messages it uses your cell plan and does not count against your messages?\
Do the recipients have to use the motorola messenger? Can i just send to a normal phone number?
Does it have its own dedicated phone number?

[jamiegrover]

The portion of the video about pointing it to zero at14:20 -ish was very confusing. On my unit, the direction given for the satellite is fixed and doesn't change. What is the meaning of this?

[ochils]

The Motorola guy mentions live tracking, is there any update on when this will be made available? Fantastic, simple device, love it!

[hikerwoody]

I'm from England and will be hiking the CDT next year, this device sounds perfect. I'm guessing the release has been delayed because it's saying out of stock on your website

[MtnXfreeride]

18:02 mentions overwatch and rescue.. I dont see any mention of this anywhere else.. did this get pulled?

[MikeTrieu]

How does the app behave when you try to send a message without a clear view of the southern sky? Will it try to resend periodically or whenever it detects a proper signal of the satellite?
