KVH Introduces World’s Fastest, Lightest, Ultra-compact Ku-band Marine VSAT Antenna
The TracPhone V3-HTS is a breakthrough antenna for providing connectivity at sea, with faster data speeds than larger marine satellite antennas
The TracPhone V3-HTS’s fast data speeds, combined with its diminutive size, make Internet connectivity and HD-quality streaming available aboard smaller powerboats and sailboats along with commercial vessels, such as workboats and offshore fishing boats, that do not have room for a larger satellite communications antenna.
KVH designed and engineered the TracPhone V3-HTS specifically for KVH’s mini-VSAT BroadbandSM HTS network. This advanced maritime network offers unmatched speed and coverage using new next-generation high-throughput satellites (HTS) from Intelsat’s global network with additional satellite capacity from
“KVH’s HTS network changes the game for communications on boats,” says
The TracPhone V3-HTS is the second HTS antenna design from KVH, which introduced the 60 cm diameter Ku-band TracPhone V7-HTS last year. During the development of both antennas, KVH worked closely with satellite operator
“Ensuring that boaters and mariners around the world can experience the benefits of connectivity at sea has been a driving force for KVH for many years, and the new TracPhone V3-HTS makes that possible for more types of boats than ever before,” says
Additional features of the TracPhone V3-HTS include:
- The secure myKVH™ mini-VSAT Manager – an exclusive suite of tools that provide transparency into and control over data usage, including data allocation and customized text and email alerts
- Integrated CommBox™ Modem (ICM) – streamlined all-in-one belowdecks unit featuring the antenna control unit, high-throughput modem, Voice over IP (VoIP) adapter, versatile network management software, and integrated Wi-Fi and Ethernet switches
- KVH OneCare™ – global support program including application engineering, solution deployment, and operating support around the clock
