(Iridium GO) This satellite-based Wi-Fi hotspot from Iridium promises to set a new standard for global communications among bluewater cruisers. The pocket-sized device can be carried anywhere or permanently mounted aboard with a remote antenna, and allows up to five laptops, tablets and phones within a 100ft range to connect for both voice and data transmission from anywhere in the world. The GO! is compatible with both Apple and Android operating systems and has its own powerful platform that allows for the development of independent applications. Apps already developed by Iridium allow for optimized e-mail and data compression, photo-transfer capabilities, social media support, position tracking, easy access to weather forecasts and SOS signaling. The device itself costs considerably less than a conventional satellite phone, and service plans look to be both flexible and affordable. Whether you’re in port or sailing the high seas, this gadget should meet most communications needs.
