Nous sommes de grands fans de Starlink pour l'accès à l'internet haut débit, mais la simple comparaison des vitesses de téléchargement ne donne pas une image complète de la situation. Lisez ci-dessous pour en savoir plus.

“If we were to ditch into the life raft, we wouldn’t take the Starlink, we’d take the GO! exec.”
Craig Smith
Volvo Ocean Racer, Professional Delivery Skipper
“I won’t go to sea without a communication device that works in a ‘dead ship’ state... I will always have an Iridium GO! exec onboard period.”
John Hembrow
Head of Down Under Rally
“GO! exec provides redundancy should Starlink not be available and maintains communications if we abandon the vessel.”

“Stellar support staff that keeps us happy and confidence in the products. Super responsive, five stars all around!”
Starlink est la meilleure solution pour les marins qui souhaitent disposer d'une connexion internet haut débit à bord. Starlink dispose de la plus grande constellation de satellites utilisant une orbite basse pour fournir l'internet haut débit capable de supporter le streaming vidéo, les appels vidéo et plus encore.
PredictWind n'a aucune affiliation avec Starlink, mais nous sommes impressionnés par cette technologie qui soutient notre but qui est de fournir une météo précise à n'importe qui dans le monde.
PredictWind est un revendeur de l'Iridium GO! exec, que nous considérons comme complémentaire au service Starlink. Starlink et le GO! exec sont tous deux entièrement intégrés à 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! / GO! exec 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 directly from the GO! exec with no apps required, and the backup battery will keep you powered up with 24 hrs standby or 6 hrs talk/data time.
With a GO! exec and the 5MB plan you can now run hourly GPS tracking 24/7 with minimal power usage. The GO! exec’s emergency capabilities provide safety and peace of mind, in a package that is now more affordable than ever. A DataHub is required for GPS Tracking.
Get the GO! Basic Plan so you can run 24/7 hourly GPS tracking for added safety and peace of mind offshore. The Iridium GO! offers essential redundancy with voice calling in the event of an emergency. PredictWind Standard/Professional forecast subscription required.
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! exec’s backup battery provides 24 hours of standby or 6 hours of talk/data time, while 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! exec 5MB plan provides enough data to keep services like GPS tracking, AI Polars, and the PredictWind Anchor App connected 24/7 without any overages. 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.
The GO! / GO! exec 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! / GO! exec’s L band frequency performs in any conditions.
En cas d'évacuation dans un radeau de sauvetage ou d'une urgence médicale, passez des appels vocaux directement depuis l'appareil sans avoir besoin d'applications ou d'appareils supplémentaires. Soyez assuré que les services d'urgence sont au courant de votre situation et restez en contact jusqu'à l'arrivée des secours.
The GO / GO! exec are essential safety communication devices for any boat heading offshore.
