SPOT manufacture the actual SPOT device and provide your satellite “airtime”. GEOS, on the other hand, provides the 24/7/365 Emergency Response capability i.e. if you’re ever in a situation that threatens your life or safety and you have to press the “911” button, one of our Duty Officers at the GEOS Emergency Response Center in Houston, Texas will be dealing with your emergency, liaising with Police, Coastguard or any other relevant authority as well as coordinating any additional private Search & Rescue resources that may be required to rescue you or save your life. That is what we, at GEOS, do. We are a travel safety and travel security organization and SAR Membership is one of our travel safety programs.
