HMD is challenging Motorola with its own OffGrid satellite gadget

Quick Summary:

"HMD OffGrid is a new, affordable, portable and easy-to-use offering that's both empoweing and reliable — especially when it matters the most," says HMD Chairman and CEO Jean-Francis Baril.

While the HMD OffGrid is rated to last three or four days per charge, that's only with messages and check-ins at regular 30-minute intervals.

The satellite service covers the mainland and up to 70 miles away from the coast in participating areas like the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand -- with more territories coming "throughout 2025," HMD says.
