KVH Partners with TMS Maritime Solutions for KVH Watch Maritime IoT Solution
“KVH Watch is the perfect solution to connect vessels’ IoT systems with ashore/cloud platforms and applications,” says

KVH Watch is an IoT Connectivity as a Service solution that provides Flow, dedicated 24/7/365 machine-to-cloud satellite connectivity for remote monitoring of onboard equipment plus the ability to perform on-demand Remote Expert Interventions using video, voice, or text via KVH’s global HTS network. KVH Watch is designed for maritime equipment manufacturers, multicard service providers, and shipyards seeking affordable monthly subscription-based connectivity that L-band and cellular services cannot deliver at deep sea.
