February 23 2023 - 6:00AM
Yesterday, at the seventh annual SMART4SEA Awards ceremony, the
SAFETY4SEA organization presented its 2023 SMART4SEA Connectivity
Award to KVH Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: KVHI) and its groundbreaking
TracNet™ hybrid connectivity terminals and KVH
ONE™ global network.
Robert Balog, Chief Technology Officer at KVH, states, “We are
honored to be recognized in the SMART4SEA award program. The
SAFETY4SEA organization and its award programs highlight products
and innovations that help shipping companies and their crew perform
their jobs safely and efficiently. KVH’s TracNet hybrid product
line introduced in July 2022, delivered a new standard for
connectivity for all types of vessels worldwide. Our goal is to
make every voyage a safer, more connected one for fleets and
seafarers around the globe, and we are grateful to SAFETY4SEA for
their recognition of our efforts.”
KVH’s innovative TracNet terminals feature integrated satellite,
cellular, and Wi-Fi technology with intelligent, automatic
switching to keep ships connected to the best available
communication option. The product line is the first to offer a
fully integrated hybrid maritime solution of this type, utilizing
an algorithm that assesses factors such as availability, cost, and
quality of data connection to continually deliver the best
performance.
The TracNet product line features three terminals: the
ultra-compact 37 cm TracNet H30, the compact 60 cm TracNet H60, and
the 1-meter TracNet H90. The antennas offer single-cable install,
tuned reflectors, multi-axis stabilization, stabilized skew,
digital IMUs, and a commercial-grade rotary joint with continuous
azimuth for outstanding reception, even with high speeds and rough
seas. This ensures seamless connectivity in both calm and
challenging conditions, no matter how far out to sea the ship might
be.
Vessels with TracNet on board enjoy 276 million sq. km (106+
million sq. miles) of satellite coverage using KVH’s global,
layered HTS network, powered by Intelsat. The network offers VSAT
speeds as fast as 20/3 Mbps (down/up). Subscribers also enjoy
integrated support for 5G/LTE cellular service in 150+ countries as
well as the flexibility to add user-supplied SIM cards for local
service. Plus, TracNet terminals can connect to shore-based Wi-Fi
networks using the integrated Wi-Fi bridge for additional speed and
cost-saving benefits. Vessels with TracNet on board experience
seamless connectivity at the dock, when underway, and when out to
sea.
TracNet terminals reflect KVH’s commitment to cybersecurity with
integrated, terminal-level protections plus KVH’s multi-level
network cybersecurity program. For fleets seeking an additional
layer of protection, KVH offers its Managed Firewall service with
optional, enterprise-grade cybersecurity, powered by Fortinet.
Cloud Email and Crew Internet are also available to TracNet users
as value-added services designed to benefit both crew and fleet
administrators.
