ZOLEO Launches The ZOLEO 1500
Today ZOLEO announced not only its newest model of the rugged safety and messaging device, but also enhancements to the ZOLEO Safety and Preparedness Platform. The new model features…
a high-visibility Limestone exterior with a red SOS cover and green accents
USB-C charging
Bluetooth LE 5.2
enhanced tactile feedback on the SOS and power buttons
ZOLEO utilizes the Iridium satellite network so as long as you have a clear view of the sky, you will also have global coverage for two-way global messaging, emergency SOS, unlimited check-ins, and GPS location sharing. There are optional add-ons such as Location Share+ which will extend your visibility with real-time tracking and enhanced monitoring
“ZOLEO is designed not only for people travelling beyond cellular coverage, but also for the family and friends who want to know they are safe. These updates strengthen that shared safety experience by making it easier for users and their Safety Circle to stay connected, informed, and prepared when it matters most.”
The ZOLECO 1500 has a durability of IP68 + MIL-STD 810G, weighs 150g (5.3 oz) and has a long-lasting battery with over 200 hours of battery life. It also has a free companion app that works on Apple and Android phones that allows easy access to…
Global two-way messaging (text/SMS, email and app-to-app)
Global two-way SOS
Check-in with friends, family or work
Receive On-demand accurate weather forecasts
Share location in every message
Each ZOLEO activation includes a dedicated SMS number and email address, allowing members of a user's Safety Circle to reach them directly, even beyond cellular coverage. When paired with the ZOLEO app, messages automatically transition between cellular, Wi-Fi and the Iridium® satellite network, keeping conversations together in a single thread.
Included with every service plan, ZOLEO Track gives users and their Safety Circle greater visibility wherever they go.
Through the MyZOLEO Portal, users can review live and historical activity, while family members, colleagues and supervisors can follow progress through secure, time-limited tracking links, without needing a ZOLEO account. If a device goes quiet and the user has not responded, authorized contacts can also request its location for added reassurance.
The launch also expands the availability of the optional Global Rescue® Field Rescue add-on. Previously offered only in the United States and Canada, it is now available to customers in all supported regions. The membership provides field rescue and medical transport benefits.
As part of ZOLEO's ongoing commitment to delivering a dependable ownership experience, the launch also includes a Limited Lifetime Device Warranty for eligible customers, complementing the included two-year limited warranty.
The ZOLEO 1500 retails for $269.00 CAD (find a retailer near you) and there are new accessories that you can also purchase such as the Cradle Kit and Universal Mount Kit to help attach the device in handy spots such as your backpack or vehicle.
