...the 25th Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS) in Amsterdam November 13-15, on Stand 01.244. inReach is also a finalist for the esteemed Design Awards Mets (DAME), recognized around the world as the most prestigious design competition for new marine equipment and accessories. inReach is nominated in the life saving and safety equipment category.

inReach is the world’s first affordable two-way communication solution and allows boaters of all types to stay connected when cruising waters beyond cell phone range. inReach provides two-way text messaging and email, SOS alerting, message delivery confirmation, remote GPS Follow-Me/Find-Me tracking and locating, and worldwide global coverage over the Iridium® satellite network. The device is compact, lightweight, waterproof, buoyant, impact-resistant and it can maintain satellite signal lock even in difficult GPS environments.

inReach can be used as a standalone device or can also be paired wirelessly with popular smartphones and tablets, enabling interactive text messaging and emails. In the event of an emergency, the inReach SOS button, which has built-in protection against false alarms, will trigger a distress alert with delivery confirmation. The inReach SOS alert automatically activates the remote tracking feature, sending message and tracking data to an international search-and-rescue coordination center, providing frequent updates of the user’s GPS position coordinates.
