Leisure and Adventure travel
With modern satellite technology, you have the freedom to go remote places without any hesitation. There are so many unknown factors when attempting to climb a remote mountain. For example, being able to receive an accurate weather forecast removes one of those unknown factors. Xtra-Link has been sponsoring many expeditions by Mr Arnold Coster, a Dutch mountaineer who climbed the Mount Everest several times in the last 10 years.. Additionally, Xtra-Link has been sponsoring many sailing races around the globe like the Dubai to Muscat Yacht race, Cape to Rio Yacht race, Mossel Bay offshore race and various Dubai offshore sailing races where we equipped yachts with our unique tracking equipment. Satellite tacking units and satphones are essential items for all offshore going yachts, allowing those back home to track boats in real time.
Sailing is a sport to be taken seriously, even if just participating for leisure. The Ocean is clearly no place to take risks without taking any safety precautions.
