The SHOUT nano is a pocket-sized, low-cost, handheld satellite tracker and messaging device. At approximately 45% smaller and 50% lighter than the NAL SHOUT, the SHOUT nano has all of the features and functionality of the SHOUT predecessor. The SHOUT nano has a high resolution color LCD with menu options displayed as icons instead of line-text.
The SHOUT nano is designed with ultra-low power consumption electronics, it can send a position report every hour for up to two months (approximately 1,500 reports) via the Iridium® satellite network. The SHOUT nano is equipped with on-screen soft keyboards supporting transmission of free-text, canned messages and a combination of free-text and canned messages. The device can periodically wake up from sleep to send its position report to a command center. A guarded 911 button is used for immediate emergency/alert notifications. Data is packaged in either standard or 256-bit AES encrypted format.
