Powerful Weather Information Keep You Weather Aware and Weather Wise.
The Clearest Decisions in Any Weather
Now, XM WX Satellite Weather makes it easy for you to continuously receive detailed weather information wherever you are. Combining the best signal availability with the most trusted analytical, site-specific weather data - XM WX Satellite Weather delivers the most comprehensive weather to anywhere throughout the contiguous United States and coastal waters.
WxWorx and XM Satellite Radio introduce to you a revolutionary mobile weather system for use in the air, on the water and on the ground. WxWorx' localized, current weather information is delivered via continuous satellite broadcast of data from XM WX Satellite Weather. The new weather service not only includes standard NEXRAD radar available from other resources, but also a superior portfolio of data products to update you frequently on weather conditions. One glance at our long list of data options delivered to your airplane, boat or ground vehicle will convince you our new service is the premier choice for mobile weather.
Data Update Frequency and Delivery Quality
Weather data is retrieved and updated constantly from WxWorx sources located at thousands of points across the nation to ensure you have information at your fingertips whenever and wherever you need it. Data update rates vary by the specific data product; for instance, NEXRAD radar is updated every 5 minutes. Refreshed data is uplinked to XM's two geostationary satellites and re-broadcast back to earth to the contiguous 48 United States and coastal waters.
XM's satellite delivery solution is driven by the most powerful commercial satellites ever placed into orbit, both always in view and both simultaneously transmitting all data. By operating in the S-band frequency, the XM signal is less impacted by signal loss due to atmospheric conditions (e.g., rain fade, etc.) than satellites operating in higher-band frequencies. Together, these factors - signal diversity, high transmit power, immunity to signal loss - enable XM to deliver more extensive and reliable coverage than do non-S-band, other satellite or ground-based solutions.
A New, But Established Service
Our product offering is new to you, but the weather information you see is not - this same information is broadcast regularly to over 235 million television viewers every day. When your local television station tracks storms neighborhood by neighborhood, that's our pioneering technology at work, based on meteorological expertise needed to ensure that all our weather products go beyond what customers demand.
Service and Hardware Availability
With WxWorx, you can access that same data in formats developed specifically for your aviation, boating and ground needs through a variety of hardware choices. The selection of manufacturers' hardware available will expand as our service matures, giving you the flexibility to find the best possible and most user-friendly solution to meet your mobile needs.
You've been hearing for years this revolutionary technology was coming. Now you can experience it for yourself.
