ACR Bivy Stick

The Bivy Stick MESH intelligently switches between the Iridium satellite network for global coverage and LoRa mesh radio for local, off-grid communication. This allows you to maintain contact in remote areas where satellite signals might be obstructed or when you need to communicate with other group members nearby without relying on a satellite uplink.

While the device features a dedicated SOS button for emergency use, most of its functionality—including messaging, tracking, and configuration—requires the companion smartphone app. It is designed to be used as an extension of your phone, so you will need your device paired to access the full feature set.

The device includes a dedicated 24-hour SOS emergency reserve battery. This ensures that even if you have depleted the primary battery through regular use, you still have a reliable power source to transmit your emergency signal.

The device supports group messaging and tracking for up to 12 devices simultaneously. This allows you to keep tabs on your entire party's location and exchange messages, which is particularly useful for remote teams or hiking groups navigating challenging terrain.
