Personal GPS Trackers & Satellite Communicators for Lone Worker Safety

For lone workers in remote parts of Australia, standard 4G personal alarms aren’t always enough. That’s where Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) and satellite communicators step in, providing SOS alerts and reliable messaging from anywhere, even far beyond mobile coverage.

PLBs, such as the Garmin inReach Mini 2 and satellite communicators like the ZOLEO, Spot Gen4, and Spot X, connect via global satellite networks, including Iridium and Globalstar. These devices require a satellite subscription and can deliver direct-to-rescue SOS alerts or custom messages in critical situations.

If you work or stay close to town or stay within 4G coverage, you may not need a satellite communicator. Instead, explore our guide to personal alarms in 2025 to find the right safety solution for your needs.
