From the Far North to the Eastern Townships to the Laurentians, outdoor activity experts are unanimous. A satellite phone is the ideal device to have with you at all times when engaging in outdoor activities. It connects to a satellite telephone network via an external antenna.
Discover the Bivy Stick
Outdoor enthusiasts now have the ability to turn their cell phones into satellite communication systems. The Bivy Stick is a cutting-edge innovation offered by SKNA Telecom Solutions.
Remember, SKNA Solutions Telecom is a company specializing in satellite telecommunications that offers a variety of satellite networks and phones for sale or rent, GPS beacons equipped with an SOS button, tracking solutions, and of course Airmedic protection!
For Airmedic members who own a SPOT, InReach, or ZOLEO device, the SOS button goes through several intermediaries before reaching the Airmedic emergency center (a third-party center, the Sûreté du Québec). With the BIVY STICK, they can connect the SOS button directly to the Airmedic coordination center to communicate with them in an emergency without having to go through a third-party service. Your safety is our priority !

No matter how far or where you go off the grid, whether for work or leisure, you’ll have access to all the benefits of the BIVY STICK along with the ones you already enjoy, such as two-way satellite messaging that allows you to stay connected with family and friends even when you’re out of cellular range.

This feature is highly appreciated by emergency services such as Airmedic, who can communicate with us bidirectionally when you press the emergency button.
