What makes Stride Different?

Stride utilizes advanced long-range radio communication technology outfitted on select trails and backcountry areas instead of traditional satellite systems. This innovative approach allows us to:

  • Provide reliable communication in areas without cell service
  • Offer the service at a fraction of the cost of satellite devices
  • Maintain fast response times for emergency situations
