The Motorola Defy Satellite Link accessory is now available in the US. The product was announced back in February and connects to an iPhone or Android device via Bluetooth to give satellite connectivity.

The Motorola Defy Satellite Link extends compatibility to non-Motorola smartphones which is good for its versatility. Apple unveiled its Emergency SOS via Satellite service last year for the iPhone 14 lineup. The Motorola Defy Satellite Link is however less restrictive than the Apple satellite service. The accessory is also not only for emergencies but offers multiple plans to choose from.

The Defy Satellite Link comes bundled with the Essential Messaging plan the offers up to 30 two-way messages sent via satellite every month. There are other plans with the top one offering up to 400 messages each month.

The Defy Satellite Link is rated MIL-SPEC-810H and IP68 for drop, water, and dust protection. It can withstand being submerged in up to 1.5m of water for up to 30 minutes. It can also withstand falls up to 2m onto hard surfaces without being damaged. The Defy Satellite Link weighs 70g and has dimensions of 85 x 62 x 11.2mm. It uses GPS, Glonass, Galileo, and Beidou while a 600mAh battery delivers up to 4 days of standby.

The price of the Motorola Defy Satellite Link in the US is $149.99 and is currently exclusively available at B&H. It is expected that the Defy Satellite Link will subsequently be available in a few other markets in Europe and elsewhere.
