Siamo grandi fan di Starlink per l'accesso a Internet ad alta velocità, ma il semplice confronto delle velocità di download non è un quadro completo. Leggete qui sotto per saperne di più.

“Every cruising vessel should have the Iridium GO! We were tracked by friends, had great email abilities and SOS features for offshore safety.”
Annie Gardner

“In 2014 we cruised the Med and crossed the Atlantic. The SOS feature on the Iridium GO! gave us peace of mind when we are offshore.”
Starlink è la soluzione migliore per i velisti che desiderano internet ad alta velocità sulla propria imbarcazione. Starlink è la più grande costellazione satellitare che utilizza un'orbita terrestre bassa per fornire Internet a banda larga in grado di supportare lo streaming video, le videochiamate e altro ancora.
PredictWind non ha alcuna affiliazione con Starlink, ma siamo impressionati dalla tecnologia che supporta il nostro obiettivo principale di fornire dati meteo accurati a chiunque nel mondo.
PredictWind è un rivenditore dell'Iridium GO! exec, che riteniamo complementare al servizio Starlink. Sia Starlink che il GO! exec sono completamente integrati con PredictWind.
In the event of an emergency, activate the SOS button and take the unit with you in the life raft. The IP65 rating means it can survive in the harshest marine environments.
The GO! are ideally suited for yachts, with less than 5% of the power usage of Starlink, and true 100% global coverage, to keep you safe and connected, anywhere in the world.
Make voice calls from the Iridium GO! and the backup battery will keep you powered up with 15.5 hrs standby or 5.5 hrs talk/data time.
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! provides 15.5 hours standby and 5.5 hours talk/data. The SOS button is an extra safety feature for added peace of mind.
Starlink’s power consumption makes it unsuitable for 24/7 use on most boats.
The GO! Basic plan provides enough data to keep GPS tracking connected 24/7 without any overages. This gives you the flexibility to only turn on your Starlink when you need high speed internet.
The Iridium 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.
The Iridium GO! is an essential safety communication device for any boat heading offshore.
