Key Features of the DataHub
GPS Tracking & Sharing: Automatically logs and shares your vessel's position, speed, and real-time weather data with friends and family via a dedicated tracking page. Offline tracking is stored and uploaded once an internet connection is available. This requires a PredictWind Standard or Professional subscription.
Over the Horizon AIS (OHA): Extends AIS visibility up to 300 nautical miles, providing early warnings of approaching vessels. Requires a PredictWind Pro subscription and a high-speed internet connection. This requires a PredictWind Professional subscription.
AI Polars: Uses real-time sailing data to create optimised 5D polar diagrams, enhancing weather routing accuracy. This requires a PredictWind Professional subscription.
Data Sharing: Broadcasts NMEA 2000 data over Wi-Fi, allowing navigation apps like AquaMap, OpenCPN, and Navionics to access vessel instrumentation data such as GPS, depth, wind, and AIS.
Internet Connectivity: Connects to various internet sources, including Starlink, Iridium GO!, GO! exec, 4G/5G routers, or mobile hotspots, via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or USB tethering.
Firewall Protection: Built-in firewall prevents unwanted data usage, protecting against excessive satellite airtime charges.
Remote Monitoring: Enables remote access to vessel data through NMEA 0183 streaming over the internet, allowing you to monitor wind speed, depth, GPS position, and AIS targets from anywhere.
Offshore Messaging: Supports optimised email and messaging services like PredictMail and PredictChat for efficient communication while offshore.
How the DataHub Complements Starlink
While Starlink provides high-speed internet connectivity at sea, the DataHub enhances this by managing and distributing the connection throughout your vessel. It lets you connect Starlink via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, enabling features like GPS tracking, Over the Horizon AIS, and data sharing across your onboard devices. The DataHub's firewall also helps manage data usage, preventing unexpected satellite data charges.
