Weather Charts (WeFax)
A sea state chart of the North Atlantic, for instance, costs .25. A satellite image of the Atlantic basin, .50. Because of the highly-compressed nature of the data, the savings in air time usually more than pays for the data, and the convenience and speed are unbeatable! WeatherNet's annual service fee of $99 automatically renews if you are using the system.

To download weather you simply run the WeatherNet client on your Windows PC, enable or disable the preconfigured batches or create a new batch for your specific circumstance, push the download button, and then view the data. The download is completed in a few minutes, on demand, when you need the data. This product is revolutionary in that there are no firm schedules to adhere to or lengthy downloads. You get the data you need, when you need it and on your own terms.
Here are some of the ways we reduce weather data sizes and save you money.
Proprietary transfer protocol - The WeatherNet server speaks to the client running on your PC with a wireless protocol specifically designed to optimize download transfers of data. Standard internet protocols such as FTP and HTTP are very inefficient when downloading weather over a wireless device such as a satellite phone. Our benchmarks show an increase of 3x when transferring comparable data with WeatherNet vs. FTP over a Globalstar satellite link. A factor of 7x improvement has been observed for HTTP transfers over the same medium.
Proprietary compression of weather images - WeatherNet's compression technology reduces standard weather images by 2 to 10 times their original size. Ocean temperature charts for example are compressed down to by a factor of 8x. Weather charts are compressed with a factor of 4x going from 32K to 8K for example. Buoy GIF data starts out at about 22K and get squeezed to 2K for an impressive compression factor of 10x.
HTML stripping - All HTML weather content is converted to plain text reducing sizes by a factor of 5. A 10K offshore HTML forecast is reduced to 2K for example.
Data condensation - For certain weather products, such as Buoy data, WeatherNet extracts pertinent material removing non essential extras. Buoy Text goes from 100 lines to 2 lines yielding current observation data and removing all historical readings.
Bottom line... WeatherNet's advanced compression features dramatically reduce the time required to download weather. This savings in time translates directly to savings for you. Our motto is that "it's cheaper to pay for WeatherNet than it is to receive the forecast for free from other sources".
