Iridium Communications has added a GEOS emergency response service for Iridium Extreme users.

The GEOS service integrates into the SOS button that automatically dials the GEOS emergency response center to connect to a live GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC). 

GEOS receives emergency alerts and notifies Response Search and Rescue (SAR) authorities via a global, 24/7/365 service. The IERCC has translation capabilities for up to 200 languages.

Customers can register at www.geosalliance.com/iridium. The SOS button meets international standards for satellite emergency notification devices (SENDs). The button can be set to call any number.
