KVH Industries, Inc., [NASDAQ: KVHI) announced Mackay Communications, Inc., will begin offering the new KVH TracPhone V7 with mini-VSAT Broadband service as its exclusive maritime VSAT (very small aperture terminal) solution. The new mini-VSAT Broadband service uses sophisticated spread spectrum technology to provide vessels with data reception rates as fast as 2 Mbps and data transmission rates as fast as 512 Kbps via the 24" KVH TracPhone V7. The mini-VSAT Broadband service is fast, "always on", and available in a variety of pricing packages. Mackay happens to be the largest high-seas service company in the U.S., providing marine services and solutions to mariners for more than 120 years.
The first fully integrated maritime VSAT system, the TracPhone V7, works seamlessly by combining innovative and revolutionary technology, including rugged, fully stabilized antenna technology from KVH Industries, SES AMERICOM’s powerful satellite network, and groundbreaking spread spectrum technology from ViaSat. The TracPhone V7 is 85 percent smaller and 75 percent lighter than 1-meter maritime VSAT antennas. It will be of particular value to smaller commercial ships, on which size is an issue and reliable communications are a must. In addition to offering the TracPhone V7 and mini-VSAT Broadband service, Mackay will also carry KVH’s award-winning line of TracVision marine satellite TV systems—Middletown, Rhode Island
