No. You re not reading it right.
Get some glasses
OK I just said that to use the little drawing
The idea of Skymate is when you are off shore out of
internet range. Its a replacement for
HF radio.
We want to for our passages. Including a secure means to comunicate with the authorities while going to the Red Sea. HF and
VHF are insecure.
Skymate is also vastly cheaper than HF and
pactor modem.
We would use the lower plan USD$34 per month and get weather when needed only, every few days if available.
The daily
tracking and the sms/email is its real use.
