Demonstrating its commitment to providing high-quality maritime
satellite communications and entertainment solutions for mariners
in the Asia-Pacific region, KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI)
officially opened its new Asia-Pacific headquarters, KVH Industries
Pte Ltd., in Singapore today. The new facility features a
state-of-the-art demo and training lab where KVH partners and
customers can observe the company's TracPhone®, TracVision®, and
CommBox™ products in action, and examine possibilities for
integrating shipboard applications with KVH's mini-VSAT BroadbandSM
network.
KVH's Chief Executive Officer, Martin Kits van Heyningen, Senior
Vice President of Global Sales and Business Development, Brent C.
Bruun, and Vice President of Sales, Asia-Pacific region, Vivian
Quenet were on hand to welcome guests to KVH Singapore. "This
region is critically important to maritime commerce around the
globe, and we feel that it is important to have permanent staff and
facilities here to ensure the best service for KVH customers and
partners," explained Mr. Kits van Heyningen. "KVH's mini-VSAT
Broadband satellite communications network and TracPhone, CommBox,
and TracVision systems offer tremendous benefits to the ships,
large and small, that operate in these waters. We look forward to
serving mariners not just in Singapore, but throughout the
Asia-Pacific region."
KVH Industries Pte Ltd. will work in cooperation with partners
throughout the region to bring KVH's award-winning satellite
communications and television products to mariners. These include
the new TracVision HD11, the world's first truly global maritime
satellite TV system with full support for high-definition
programming, as well as the global mini-VSAT Broadband satellite
communications service and compatible 24" (60 cm) TracPhone V7 and
14.5" (39 cm) TracPhone V3 antennas, and the CommBox Ship/Shore
Network Manager.
With more than 1,500 antennas shipped, mini-VSAT Broadband is
the world's fastest growing, most popular maritime VSAT solution.
The network uses ArcLight® spread spectrum technology, which was
developed by KVH's partner, ViaSat, Inc., (Nasdaq:VSAT)
specifically for mobile use and previously available only for
military applications. ArcLight is unique due to its efficient
reuse of satellite channels, fast speed, low latency, and its
ability to support very small antennas that provide reliable
service, even in poor weather conditions.
