This article briefly explains what the Bivy satellite device is and where it works.
Bivy provides an application and satellite device for communicating outside cellular service or Wi-Fi. The Bivy Stick is like a satellite “hotspot,” providing a satellite connection for the Bivy app.
Where Does Bivy Work?
Bivy will function outdoors as long as there is a clear line of sight to the sky. The weather does not impact signal quality. Position the device vertically with the SOS button facing downward to improve the signal quality. The farther away you are from obstructions like buildings, mountains, and canyons, the better your signal quality will be.
Note: For the Bivy phone app to work with the Bivy satellite device, it must be connected properly and stay within Bluetooth range (within 30 feet).
