Iridium Weather Apps

Hi,

there is the great Iridium Go support by Sebastian.

In the past the AeroPlus weather App also worked acceptable with the Go. Seems as if no longer supported?!

Apart from those apps: are there any other (advicable) aviation weather apps that works acceptable with the low bandwith of Iridium?

Thx

The basic issue with using the Iridium short burst data service is that the bandwidth is too low to go over the “internet”. It requires the vendor to set up a server which compresses the data as appropriate. This costs money to run and needs a certain amount of business to make it worth it.

@aeroplus and @sebastian_g may know more.

What kind of additional features are you looking for?

The main problem with the Iridium Go is the overall cost to run it. In many regards it is even superiour to the ADL devices but it will cost you around 100 Euro per month. So usually I sell the Go service to PC12 and light jet owners only.
