The DeLorme inReach 2-way satellite communicator has been honored with a 2012Backpackermagazine Editors’ Choice Award. This is the most prestigious award in the outdoor industry, given annually in recognition of outstanding innovation in design, materials, and performance.
Inreach是2012年如此荣幸的仅有的13种产品之一。BackpackerEditors’ Choice Awards, bestowed each year since 1993, recognize the products thatBackpackereditors have chosen as the best of the year based on months of trail testing by teams of highly experienced hikers and climbers. With no set categories for the awards and no set number of recipients, the products and the testing process drive the award categories.
“No other magazine or Web site conducts in-depth field-testing as vigorously or impartially as the crew led by Gear Editor Kristin Hostetter,” said Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Dorn. “The results are reviews that lead consumers to smart, durable products that consistently prove their worth with years of best-in-class performance.”
由于地球表面缺乏手机服务的90％，Inreach是偏远或高风险环境的完整沟通替代方案。这是第一个具有双向SOS和个人文本消息传递，交付确认，“关注我”在线GPS跟踪以及通过世界上最跨越的卫星网络Iridium的全球覆盖范围的第一个具有消费者的卫星通信器，“关注我”在线GPS跟踪。它可以用作独立设备，也可以与Android智能手机或Delorme Earthmate PN-60W GPS配对，用于发送和接收消息。
在其产品评论中，Backpacker“里边的ach a “game changer.” “The two-way text messaging enabled me to maintain a running dialogue with friends and family,” said Dorn, who had first-hand experience with inReach during recent trips to the Andes and Tetons.
Gear Editor Kristin Hostetter描述了Inreach如何帮助她在进行现场测试时保持联系。“我的孩子的课程遵循我在智利的进步，向我发出了问题。”让朋友和家人更新是Inreach的关键属性之一。
inReach communication and tracking capabilities, coupled with the ability to describe an SOS situation and exchange updates with first responders, make inReach a must-have for anyone who spends time in the outdoors beyond cell phone range.
“inReach’s two-way communication can eliminate one of the most vexing issues search-and-rescue authorities face — false alarms,” said Patrick Shay, DeLorme Vice President and General Manager for Connected Solutions.
“We are delighted to be honored for innovation by such an esteemed publication,” said Jim Skillings, DeLorme Vice President for Commercial Products. “This award is a further validation of how important this product is to outdoor enthusiasts.”
Since last Fall, inReach has received numerous other prestigious awards from the National Marine Manufacturers Association,Popular Science, National Geographic Adventure,Men‘S期刊, the Consumer Electronics Association,外部magazine, and Gear Junkie.
