I spoke with Kurt Myers at INL regarding the NRG Windcube and the Secondwind Nomad2. I am cc'ing Kurt so he can correct anything I may have misunderstood.

Each system is self-contained for power and communications. Navy will not need to access any power or bandwidth that UNC will be operating. UNC would not need to meet any Navy mission-critical power or bandwidth needs. Each system has its own photovoltaic panels, batteries, and satellite data modem. In addition each system has its own web-accessible page and data delivery mechanism but through different service providers and different avenues of data transport.

Here is the difference:

1. Iridium comms for Windcube with Windlinx or Wireless-Innovation service provider sends an email message with the data. There is a weekly or daily email service option. Also, there is a web interface that you can log on, and remotely control, configure and look at data displays. Of course air-time charges apply for duration of the session. However, this web-access does not provide data download according to NRG Systems representative. The only way data is transferred to land is through the daily or weekly email.

2. Globalstar comms for Secondwind Nomad2 with SkyServe? Wind Data Service

The SkyServe? service operates differently. It collects data from each remote system on the service on an hourly or 10 minute cycle. You then login into their web-based land-side service to view graphs and manually download data.

This sounds like everything you needed for web access, system monitoring, and data receipt will be provided by these turn-key systems.

Other ways of retrieving or getting data can be done but not without significant software development and programming.
