With satellite connectivity being a big deal, the Motorola Defy Satellite Link is here to save the day. Motorola put this device in the spotlight a few months ago after its launch, and it is now available for purchase. The idea behind the development of this device is that it can help users access the internet even in areas with little or no internet coverage.

To access the internet, users would only need the Motorola Defy Satellite Link, which would find a nearby satellite to connect with. Once this connection between the Defy device and the satellite is secure, the user would be able to access certain services on their smartphone. This piece of technology is great for those whose jobs entail that they move into areas with low network coverage.

Well, anybody can own this device as it can come in handy in the event of a network outage. Some devices already have satellite connectivity features built in just for rainy days. If your device doesn’t have this feature, and you see it as being important, then you can opt to get the Motorola Defy Satellite Link.

Details, pricing, and where to buy the Motorola Defy Satellite Link

A few months ago, details on the Motorola Defy rugged device to launch in collaboration with Bullitt Group hit the internet. This device, although not yet available, would come with built-in satellite connectivity features. But while fans anticipate the launch of this rugged smartphone with satellite connectivity, Motorola is offering satellite connectivity for less.

The Motorola Defy Satellite Link is a compact device that can give your device access to satellite connectivity. Staying true to the Motorola Defy brand, this is a rugged device that comes with Ingress Protection (IP68). It is drop and water-resistant, it also features MIL SPEC 810H certification and is resistant to thermal shock.

In certain parts of Europe, this device has been available for usage over the past few months. However, the company is finally extending availability and support to the US now. Other regions such as South America, Africa, and Australia will get support for satellite connectivity with this device in the coming months.

So if you are living in the US and need a device that can help you to access the internet via satellites, you can get one. The Motorola Defy Satellite Link is priced at $149. This device will connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth and offer satellite internet connectivity.

With satellite internet, users can send and receive text messages as well as send out SOS alerts. But to access these features, users would need to pay for either the Essential, Everyday, Premium, or Freedom plans. All except the Freedom plan are monthly subscriptions, the more a user pays, the more features they get access to.

Some specifications of this device include a 600mAh battery that can last 4 days on a single charge. It uses a USB-C charger to power up the battery once there is a need to. For processing power, it makes use of the MediaTek MT6825 NTN chipset. Lastly, it has a Lanyard, so it can be attached to the user without getting lost.
