Slated for commercial availability in November, KVH expects its high-speed overlay to its current mini-Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) BroadbandSM service to triple, and in some cases increase by a multiple of six, the data speeds for its maritime customers.<\/p>\n<p>KVH\u2019s advanced maritime broadband network will incorporate Intelsat Epic satellite services and the IntelsatOne Flex platform, a managed service designed to optimize bandwidth allocations and provide flexible coverage where it is needed. KVH also expects its mini-VSAT Broadband network to benefit from increased Asian satellite capacity from <strong>SKY Perfect JSAT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>At launch, KVH will offer speeds as fast as 10 Mbps to each terminal. Each Intelsat Epic satellite has 25 to 60 Gbps of capacity, which is expected to deliver a major performance enhancement for KVH subscribers. KVH\u2019s enhanced service is designed to improve business productivity in the commercial maritime world, and enrich the onboard experience for superyachts and recreational boats.<\/p>\n<p>The new mini-VSAT broadband network will include southern Atlantic and southern Indian Ocean capacity, which is the primary driver for an expansion of KVH\u2019s Ku-band coverage by 25 million square miles.<\/p>\n<p>KVH also recently unveiled a new 60 cm marine satellite antenna system.&nbsp;According to the company, the TracPhone&nbsp;V7-HTS achieves data download speeds of up to 10 Mbps, and is fast enough to enable the streaming of High Definition (HD)-quality content at sea.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, to further meet the demands of increased data usage at sea, KVH is offering the TracPhone V7-HTS with new hybrid airtime plans that deliver a free, lower-speed unlimited use data channel that runs at the same time as the high-speed data channel.<\/p>\n<p>For the commercial maritime market, KVH expects the TracPhone V7-HTS to enable merchant fleets to take advantage of cloud-based software programs, remote system monitoring, and data analytics in the pursuit of digitalization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KVH Industries has announced the launch of its next-generation maritime broadband network, joined by service partner Intelsat.
