Starlink and the Iridium GO! are complimentary.
Neil Schlossberg
Charter & delivery Captain since 1977
“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
Olympic Medallist, 5x world titles
“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
pour la vitesse
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.
Iridium GO! for safety, low power and reliability.
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.

- ¹La vitesse de téléchargement maximale de Starlink dans des conditions idéales. Dans les zones congestionnées, la vitesse de téléchargement peut tomber à quelques Mo/s. De plus, les obstructions peuvent causer des interruptions de connexion.
- ² Données PredictWind illimitées uniquement. Veuillez vous rendre au Pages illimitées pour voir quels services sont inclus.
- Le GO! Exécutif a une batterie interne, ainsi en cas de panne de courant ou d'évacuation en radeau de survie, vous avez jusqu'à 6 heures de temps de conversation/de données ou 24 heures de temps d'attente.
- ⁴ Une antenne avec un plus grand angle de faisceau permet un meilleur suivi des satellites et réduit les risques de coupure dus aux obstructions telles que les mâts, etc.
- La fréquence de la bande L est résistante à la pluie tandis que les fréquences de la bande K sont sujettes à la dégradation pendant la pluie ou la neige.
- ⁶ La fréquence de la bande L résiste à la pluie tandis que les fréquences de la bande K sont sujettes à une dégradation en cas de pluie ou de neige.
The perfect backup for Starlink users
Why do I need the Iridium GO! and Starlink?
Portable avec batterie de secours.
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.
Une consommation d'énergie 26 fois inférieure à celle de starlink.
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.
Conçu pour l'environnement marin.
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.
10 reasons to trust the Iridium GO!
- Your boat inverter fails, resulting in no AC power to run your Starlink.
- Your boat suffers a power failure, that results in no Starlink. The Iridium GO! has 15.5 hours on standby and can support a talk time of up to 5.5 hours with its internal battery.
- Starlink has a worldwide outage. This happened in September 2023, and could happen in the future with this new and rapidly expanding network that is constantly being upgraded with new satellites.
- In a thunderstorm, you can store the Iridium GO! in your oven, which acts like a faraday cage to protect vital communications. Starlink does not have this option, and most electronics will not survive a nearby lightning strike unless stowed correctly.
- The K-Band frequency used by Starlink is affected by heavy rain, which can result in no service. The L-Band service used by Iridium is rain resistant, and works in all weather conditions.
- In a storm, your boat will be pounded by waves and salt spray, and even below decks can be damp and wet. The Starlink standard dish is only IP54 rated, which is not suitable for these conditions. The Starlink routers are built for indoor use, with no IP rating. The Iridium GO! has an IP65 rating, built specifically for harsh marine environments.
- When running low on fuel, where generator use is at a premium, and solar panels do not provide sufficient charge, the Starlink 60-130 watt usage can be critical. The Iridium GO!’s 5 watt usage eliminates any significant power issues when running services like GPS tracking 24/7.
- Eliminate the possibility of bill shock when offshore, paying US$2/GB for Starlink overages, if your devices stream data accidentally.
- Provide global connectivity without having to subscribe to the US$250/month Starlink global plan.
- In the event that you need to ditch into a life raft, you can take the Iridium GO! with you. With full voice capability, you can coordinate with emergency services for a rescue, and get medical advice if needed. In addition, you have a phone number that emergency services/family can call, and an SOS button to provide an emergency response coordination service at no additional charge.
The Iridium GO! is an essential safety communication device for any boat heading offshore.
