WxWorx On Water Revolutionizes Onboard Weather Service

Having live weather data right onboard provides anglers with peace of mind and enhances their enjoyment of fishing and boating. WxWorx, in addition to supplying the WxWorx hardware package, is also the data supplier for the XM WX Satellite Weather service. WxWorx assures the quality of the weather data, then packages it for distribution to XM, who then delivers the data over a continuous satellite broadcast. XM’s geo-stationary satellites provide redundancy and reliability via an S-Band transmission, regardless of the weather conditions, so it is there for mariners when they need it most. Data products like high-resolution radar, wave conditions, lightning and buoy data can be layered on top of each other, allowing users to view multiple conditions at the same time, maximizing situational awareness. Sea surface temperatures are also available.

Recently, XM WX and WxWorx have offered a special program for Weather Channel Marine customers whose equipment is in the process of being phased out. The package offered by WxWorx enables former Weather Channel Marine subscribers to receive the XM WX Satellite Weather high-resolution graphical weather data service as well as the XM audio service, including news, talk, sports and entertainment programming. The package from WxWorx includes all of the standard elements in the WxWorx on Water Premium package (including XM antenna, receiver, software, and cables) as well as an XM Delphi Roady XT for XM audio service. Coupled with the hardware is a special offer that provides one month free subscription to the XM WX Master Mariner package and one free month subscription to XM radio audio service with no activation fee for either service. To take advantage of this program, customers must contact a participating dealer and return the existing WSI receiver to WxWorx as proof of program qualification. Offer ends April 1, 2007.
