Herbst worked with Somewear Labs to envision an iconic product with an approachable brand that can deliver the promise of seamless, simple satellite connectivity anywhere in the world. The Somewear Hotspot tackles the most fundamental need of any adventurer - reliable communication. This Iridium satellite-powered hub of connectivity offers 100% global coverage while fitting easily in any pocket. After pairing a smartphone to the hotspot, adventurers use Somewear’s mobile app to share their stories with friends and family back home, look up local conditions like weather and, in the most extreme cases, send an SOS call to emergency responders.
