It works on the top of Mount Everest. It works in the middle of the Sahara Dessert. It works at the North Pole. And the South Pole too. It works in the middle of any Ocean.
Maybe you want to transmit weather information from mid-ocean? Or use it to control your robot in the middle of the dessert? Perhaps you need to communicate in an emergency, when other networks might not be available? RockBLOCK+ can help you.
