In a country as vast and remote as Australia, being out of mobile range isn’t just common—it’s expected. Whether you’re exploring the rugged Kimberley, fishing off the Top End, or working on a mine site out in WA, staying connected can be a serious challenge. But thanks to the ZOLEO Global Satellite Communicator, reliable communication is now within reach no matter where you go.
At Exceed ICT, we’re proud to offer this game-changing device to support adventurers, FIFO workers, and remote-area professionals across the country.
What is the ZOLEO Global Satellite Communicator?
The ZOLEO Global Satellite Communicator is a compact, rugged device that pairs with your smartphone or tablet to deliver two-way messaging, location sharing, weather forecasts, and SOS alerts—even when you’re miles away from mobile or Wi-Fi coverage.
The secret sauce? ZOLEO connects to the Iridium satellite network, the only system with 100% global coverage—from the centre of the Simpson Desert to the middle of the Coral Sea. It’s more than just a gadget—it’s a lifeline for anyone working or travelling off-grid.
Key Features That Make ZOLEO a Must-Have
Global Messaging – Anywhere on Earth
ZOLEO allows you to send and receive text messages via satellite, mobile, or Wi-Fi, switching seamlessly between networks. This makes it the perfect device whether you’re hiking through Kakadu or catching a train in the city.
Messages are sent through the ZOLEO app, and the device gives you your own dedicated SMS number and email address, so your mates or colleagues can contact you just like they would on your regular phone.
Progressive SOS Alerts with 24/7 Monitoring
ZOLEO doesn’t mess about when it comes to safety. With a dedicated SOS button, you can send an alert that goes straight to a 24/7 emergency response centre. Better still, thanks to progressive SOS, you’ll receive real-time updates throughout the emergency—keeping you informed while help is on the way.
You also get access to non-emergency medical advice, which is a huge bonus for solo travellers, grey nomads, and workers in isolated locations.
Location Sharing & Check-Ins
ZOLEO makes it easy for your team or loved ones to keep track of your location. You can set automatic location updates, manually share your position, or just hit the Check-In button to send a quick “I’m OK” message.
This is especially useful for bushwalkers, remote job sites, and tour groups. And when you’re back, the breadcrumb trail feature lets you review your journey or maintain records for safety compliance.
Reliable Weather Forecasts
If you’re working in the elements or planning a multi-day trip, knowing what the weather’s doing is crucial. ZOLEO delivers weather forecasts directly to the app—so you can avoid being caught out by a storm in the Pilbara or a sudden cold snap in the Snowies.
Tough as Nails
Built for the harshest Aussie conditions, the ZOLEO device is IP68 rated—meaning it’s waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof. From red desert dust to tropical downpours, ZOLEO can take a beating and keep going strong.
Long Battery Life for Extended Trips
With up to 200+ hours of battery life on a single charge (with message checks every 12 minutes), you won’t need to constantly worry about recharging. It’s ideal for remote workers, weekend bush campers, or anyone going off-grid for extended periods.
How It Works: Seamless Connectivity, Simple Setup
Setting up ZOLEO is a breeze. Just:
- Download the free ZOLEO app.
- Pair your smartphone or tablet to the device via Bluetooth.
- Activate your subscription.
- Start messaging and sharing your location from anywhere.
Behind the scenes, ZOLEO automatically switches between mobile, Wi-Fi, and satellite, choosing the best and most cost-effective option—so you don’t need to lift a finger or monitor your signal strength. The device takes care of it all.
Who Should Use the ZOLEO Global Satellite Communicator?
Outdoor Adventurers
Whether you’re into 4WDing across Fraser Island, trekking the Larapinta Trail, or fishing the Gulf of Carpentaria, ZOLEO ensures you stay in contact and safe. It’s the perfect sidekick for campers, boaters, hikers, and overlanders.
Remote & FIFO Workers
From construction sites in the outback to offshore gas platforms, staying in touch with HQ and family is crucial. ZOLEO supports remote communication without relying on patchy cellular service—making it perfect for mining, agriculture, and FIFO industries.
Emergency-Prepared Aussies
Living in a bushfire-prone or flood-prone area? ZOLEO is an essential part of any emergency preparedness kit, offering communication when standard mobile networks go down.
Why ZOLEO Beats Traditional Satellite Phones?
ZOLEO isn’t just a cheaper alternative—it’s smarter, more flexible, and more user-friendly than old-school satellite phones. With affordable monthly plans, a dedicated contact number, and the ability to send texts and emails from your usual device, it’s the modern way to stay connected beyond the grid.
