Well-known to sailors, Iridium Go is a device that allows Smartphones and iPhones to access a satellite connection in many areas of the globe not covered by terrestrial networks. Thanks to the Wi-Fi hotspot thus created, up to 5 devices can benefit from the Iridium satellite network, within a 30-meter radius.
But that's not all: Iridium Go is also an effective tracking system and, consequently, a valuable asset for the sailor's safety, not to mention the possibility for their loved ones to follow every stage of their journey. Until now, only mobile devices benefited from the many advantages of Iridium Go. Now, thanks to the "Konectismail by Xgate" email software, it can be used from a PC or Mac.
