KVH designed the TracPhone V7-HTS for the mini-Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) Broadband&nbsp;network, which recently added High Throughout Satellite (HTS) capacity. The 60-cm TracPhone V7-HTS provides download speeds of up to 10 Mbps and upload speeds of 3 Mbps, enabling vessels to benefit from marine applications designed to improve operational efficiency, KVH stated.<\/p>\n<p>KVH introduced the AgilePlans program for CaaS in 2017 as a maritime mini-VSAT&nbsp;solution for commercial fleets. This subscription-based business model is designed to address challenges faced by the maritime industry, such as the capital expense of new equipment and the unpredictability of fleet size and business conditions.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to including installation and technical support, onboard hardware, and high-speed airtime, AgilePlans also includes the IP-MobileCast&nbsp;content delivery service for daily Newslink content for crew welfare; a package of 20 Videotel maritime training videos; delivery of chart and weather updates via Chartlink and Forecastlink; and real-time vessel tracking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global ship manager E.R.
