Decathlon is the first retailer in France distributing SPOT.
SPOT said the new product is a light-weight handheld satellite communications device designed to raise the safety factor for millions of people around the world. SPOT provides users, particularly outdoor enthusiasts, with a vital line of communication, regardless of cellular or mobile coverage.
SPOT enables users, based on varying levels of need, to send messages to friends, family, co-workers or emergency responders, and to visually track the location of the SPOT Satellite Messenger on the web:
- Alert 9-1-1 notifies an emergency response call centre of your GPS location - Ask for Help sends a request for help to friends and family - Check-In lets contacts know where you are and that you are OK - Track Progress sends and saves your location and allows contacts to track your progress using Google Maps
"Decathlon is one of the world's leading sporting goods retailers and is the mountain sports store that outdoor enthusiasts know and trust,'' said Steven Bell, Senior Vice President, International Sales and Marketing for SPOT parent company, Globalstar, Inc. Bell added, "Regular GPS devices tell you where you are, the SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger lets other people know where to find you. Whether you're mountaineering, extreme skiing, all-terrain cycling, or hiking, if you work or play in areas not covered by mobile coverage, SPOT will provide you with a way to send messages for help.''
"Whether you're traveling around the world and want to give your family peace of mind while staying connected to civilization or quite simply want to be easily located in case of technical problems when mountain biking, SPOT is the perfect solution that enables you to share your whereabouts anytime, anywhere,'' said Bertrand Czaicki, product manager, electronic devices for Decathlon. "SPOT is easy to use and thanks to its sturdy, waterproof design, it's reliable in even the most extreme outdoor conditions. SPOT is the first device of its kind that can locate you on the internet in real time via satellite communication, regardless of national borders and local GSM networks. In addition to its technical capability, the user also has access to a worldwide satellite network at one low cost.''
