Feature Request: T-Satellite Support
-
Hi All,
TL;DR : Please add T-Satellite support ( email SatelliteApps@T-Mobile.com ).
Thanks for the excellent work done on Windy!
This winter, I plan to take part in a three month sea kayak expedition which is intended to cover the length of Baja California, in the Sea of Cortez , Mexico.
Wind, wave, and tide prediction are critical elements of mitigating risks for travel in this environment. Conventional cellular coverage is almost non-existent for most of the route. Starlink-mini appears to be a viable option but requires the substantial added complexity, weight, cost, and bulk of hardware, charging, and saltwater intrusion protection.
T-mobile has begun supporting satellite-to-mobile service using Starlink via T-Satellite . Initially, T-Satellite was only supporting SMS but they are expanding to include third-party app data for apps compatible with the satellite service.
“Any app developer interested in how to get their app optimized for satellite data can email SatelliteApps@T-Mobile.com.”
Please add T-Satellite support ( email SatelliteApps@T-Mobile.com ) to Windy.
Appreciatively,
