Off the grid? Just text for it.

Send a short text from your ZOLEO or Garmin inReach and BlipSat texts back weather, radar, sports scores, stock quotes, or an answer from the live web — no cell signal required.

Get started See how it works

One text, and you're back online

No app to run in the field, no extra hardware. If your satellite messenger can send a text, it can pull down what you need.

Weather & aviation

Forecasts, plus METAR, TAF, and D-ATIS for any airport — in plain English if you want it.

Precipitation radar

A real radar map delivered over satellite. You choose the detail; it sends only the messages it costs.

Scores & markets

Live scores for the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL, and stock quotes — packed to fit a single message.

Ask the internet anything

Only BlipSat puts real AI web search on your satellite messenger. Text search and whatever you need to know — our AI looks it up on the live web and sends back a short, satellite-sized answer. No other relay does this.

See the weather, don't just read it

The BlipSat app delivers real precipitation radar over your satellite link — something no other relay offers. Pick an airport, choose how much detail you want, and BlipSat sends only the messages that detail costs.

Area or corridor — a circle around a field, or a strip along your route.
You set the budget — from a one-message overview to a nine-message close-up.
Reads offline — the map is drawn on your phone from the data that comes back.

Every reply is sized to fit whatever device you're carrying.

Fewer messages, more answers

Satellite messages are limited and cost money. BlipSat sends only as many as your answer needs, and packs each one with useful data about what you follow — so you get more for every message you spend.

What is BlipSat?

BlipSat brings the internet to your satellite messenger. When you're past the last cell tower, your ZOLEO or Garmin inReach can still send a short text over the Iridium network — and BlipSat answers it. Ask for weather, radar, sports scores, or stock quotes, or text search and a question to have our AI look it up on the live web. The answer comes right back to your device, within seconds of the satellite pass. No app to run in the field, no extra hardware: if your device can text, it has the internet.
