Advanced ArcLight® spread spectrum technology enables compact hardware design and outstanding performance — fast download speeds (up to 2 Mbps), reliable Internet and e-mail, and optimized voice communications. Created for the broadband era and its requirements for onboard networking, TracPhone V3-IP features KVH’s brand new Integrated CommBox Modem (ICM):

• IP-enabled antenna control unit for easy set-up and use
• CommBox Network Manager, for onboard networking, least cost routing, web caching, and more

With CommBox built into TracPhone V3-IP’s ICM, ship operators have the tools needed to readily manage the increasing use of broadband onboard, while offering access for crew. The ICM also supports KVH’s upcoming IP-MobileCast service, an economical solution for crew morale and welfare, providing multicast delivery of rich content directly to subscribing vessels.

With plans offering airtime rates as low as $0.49 per MB, and phone calls only $0.49 per minute worldwide, TracPhone V3-IP provides an unsurpassed solution from a single provider. KVH manufactures the satellite communications system hardware, operates the mini-VSAT Broadband network, manages the airtime, and provides 24/7/365 support. This end-to-end solution equips the vessel with a fully stabilized SATCOM system that enables ship operators, crew, and guests to stay connected to the office, port authorities, other vessels, and friends and family onshore.
