June 26 2018 - 6:00AM
Garmin® International, Inc. a unit of Garmin Ltd.
(Nasdaq:GRMN), and KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI),
announced an arrangement to offer two marine satellite TV antenna
systems made by KVH as part of a Garmin marine network package. The
two dome products—the GTV5 powered by KVH and the GTV6 powered by
KVH—will be offered by Garmin to select recreational boat builders
and select high-end installing leisure marine electronics dealers.
KVH, a mobile tech innovator, pioneered the field of mobile
marine satellite TV with its TracVision® line of satellite TV
antenna systems. Garmin’s marine products include chartplotters,
multifunction displays, high-definition radar, sonar technology,
autopilots and more; the products announced today will be Garmin’s
first satellite TV antenna dome products. “Boatbuilders know their
customers want onboard satellite TV to enhance their enjoyment and
time spent on their boats, and we are extremely pleased to be
working with KVH to add satellite TV domes to our ever-expanding
marine product portfolio,” says Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president
of global consumer sales.
“We are delighted to work with Garmin, a leader in marine
navigation and electronics products worldwide, and expand the
marine satellite TV market to their OEMs and select dealers,” says
Brent Bruun, KVH’s chief operating officer. “For more than 20
years, KVH has been dedicated to providing the highest quality
marine satellite TV antenna products to customers, and we know
Garmin shares our commitment to the highest standards.” The GTV5
(45 cm/18 in diameter) and GTV6 (60 cm/24 in diameter) offer
outstanding high-performance tracking and reception, and fast
satellite acquisition no matter what the sea conditions. These
popular satellite TV domes for sportfishing and cruising boats are
compatible with DIRECTV® U.S., DISH Network®, Bell TV, Sky
Mexico, Sky Italia, and Sky U.K., and circular and linear Ku-band
services worldwide. They can be used to receive high-definition
satellite TV programming with Ku-band services, and are fully
stabilized to enable boaters to enjoy hundreds of digital TV and
movie channels via regional satellite services around the world.
KVH’s exclusive RingFireTM technology provides stronger signals,
wider geographic coverage, and better reception, and KVH’s
IP-enabled TV-Hub is included with every system to deliver easy
setup and operation. KVH’s TracVision line has been recognized by
the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) with a product
award for 20 consecutive years. Note to Editors: For more
