Predictwind have announced the arrival of our latest product, the DataHub by PredictWind. This small but powerful GPS Tracker is custom designed from the ground up, with extra features to make your coastal or offshore tracking, data, and communications easier than ever.

The DataHub can connect to the NMEA backbone so all the data on board your vessel can be logged and transmitted. This has many real-world applications such as enriching GPS tracking data with wind speed and direction through to more complex tasks such as yacht performance polar development.

For those making passages to foreign countries, you can overcome sim card restrictions by connecting a local sim to the Datahub and broadcasting the cell data to other devices on-board. You can also switch off your satellite-based GPS tracking and let the Datahub take over your tracking updates via cell data.

PredictWind CEO Jon Bilger commented, “We saw an opportunity to give our customers a device that fills the gap with GPS tracking. We ended up with a fantastic product with endless uses. Data logging for insurance purposes, remote support for any connected product on board, satellite GPS tracking for Iridium Certus products, and many more applications are all available with this device. I think our customers will love this product and find multiple ways to make life easier using the DataHub”.
