Why do I need an Iridium GO! and Starlink?
Portable with backup battery.
In a dead ship event such as a lightning strike, where the boat’s batteries are out of action, or a life-raft evacuation, Starlink will be of no use. The GO!’s backup battery provides 15.5 hours standby or 5.5 hours of talk/data time. The SOS button is an extra safety feature for added peace of mind.
26x less power draw than starlink.
Starlink’s power consumption makes it unsuitable for 24/7 use on most boats.
The GO! Basic plan provides enough data to run 24/7 hourly GPS tracking. This gives you the flexibility to only turn on your Starlink when you need high speed internet.
The DataHub is required for PredictWind GPS Tracking.
Made for marine environments.
The GO! has an IP65 waterproof rating, while the Starlink routers have no waterproof rating, and the standard antennae has an IP54 rating, which is a source of potential failure in storms.
Starlink does not work in heavy rain due to the K band frequency degradation in these conditions, where as the GO!’s L band frequency performs in any conditions.
