KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI), has been chosen by
Singapore-based Byzantine Maritime Gas Pte. Ltd. as the VSAT
provider for its new fleet of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
carriers. The company, which specializes in marine transportation
of petroleum products, is deploying KVH’s TracPhone® V11-IP antenna
systems with mini-VSAT Broadbandsm service.
“We chose KVH for its global coverage and fast data
speeds, which are essential for our modern fleet to be able to
operate as efficiently as possible,” says Capt. Belal Ahmed,
director of Byzantine Maritime Gas Pte. Ltd. “We also find it very
important to have a tool such as the myKVHTM portal, which provides
valuable vessel positioning, data control, and fleet management for
us.”
The TracPhone V11-IP chosen by Byzantine Maritime
Gas is a dual-mode C/Ku-band antenna system designed by KVH to
provide global connectivity, redundancy, and rain-fade resistance
while delivering data speeds up to 4 Mbps downlink and 1 Mbps
uplink. Byzantine will utilize KVH’s network management services
via the CommBoxTM Network Manager, which is built into the
TracPhone V11-IP’s belowdecks unit. The CommBox services provide
least cost routing and connection-specific firewall rules, as well
as web caching and compression – important management tools for
optimizing the data being used onboard the vessel.
The myKVH web portal that Byzantine Maritime Gas is
using as part of the mini-VSAT Broadband service offers a single,
secure site with the tools to configure the onboard network,
monitor vessel positioning, obtain vessel data usage status, and
allocate data usage to individual users or tasks onboard. This
portal was developed by KVH to meet the maritime industry’s need
for a critical tool for bandwidth management, and is a key
component in enabling Byzantine Maritime Gas to manage its
usage-based monthly airtime plans.
“We are thrilled that Byzantine Maritime Gas has chosen KVH’s
leading mini-VSAT Broadband service for its connectivity needs,”
says Vivian Quenet, KVH vice president of sales for the
Asia-Pacific region. “Byzantine sets a high standard with its
advanced fleet and its dedication to safe and efficient operations,
and we are happy to contribute to their success by providing an
entire suite of hardware, connectivity, and services.”
These services are part of KVH’s unique approach to the big data
needs of the maritime industry. KVH’s complete end-to-end solution
includes rugged antenna hardware, affordable airtime plans, global
connectivity, comprehensive network management tools, global
customer support, and compelling content for operations and
entertainment at sea – a concept the company terms the Power of
OneTM.
