JAKARTA - OxR (Overwatch x Rescur) officially launched its latest application update which is now T-Satellite Ready, allowing users to stay connected and safe even in areas without cellular signal coverage. This update brings satellite-based emergency communication support, including two-way SOS features, fast and accurate location sharing, and professional rescue coordination.
Outdoor activities such as mountain climbing, forest exploration, or travel to remote areas do offer an interesting experience, but also carry risks when mobile phone signals are lost.
Answering this challenge, OxR presents a solution by utilizing a network of more than 650 Starlink Direct-to-Cell satellites. The application will automatically connect to the satellite network when the cellular signal is interrupted, so users can still ask for help in emergency conditions.
The OxR T-Satellite Ready app supports more than 60 smartphone models and is available for both Android and iOS. Users can access this service through an SOS subscription worth 79.99 US dollars per year.
Once activated, emergency connectivity remains available in various regions of the world, including remote areas, mountains, and dense forests. This service continues to function even if cellular towers, Wi-Fi, and conventional messaging services are not available, so it can reduce response time in emergencies.
This update is also claimed to help close the gap in the emergency system in the United States. Based on data from the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials, less than half of 911 emergency service centers are currently able to receive text messages. OxR presents direct two-way communication based on satellites, allowing users to communicate with the OxR Crisis Response team as well as local responders, even from the most remote locations.
With one swipe in the app, users can send an SOS signal while sharing precise GPS coordinates with the OxR response center. This center is staffed by experienced professionals from medical, military, and law enforcement backgrounds. They will provide initial medical assistance guidance, coordinate the evacuation process, and ensure that help actually arrives at the user's location.
In addition, OxR services also include costs related to rescue, including medical evacuation which in the United States often costs more than 36,000 US dollars. With these features and coverage, OxR T-Satellite Ready is positioned as a digital safety solution for adventurers, field workers, and communities that operate outside the reach of cellular networks.
