KVH Industries today completed its plan to offer yachts in every corner of the globe the mini-VSAT Broadband service. The service, in joint partnership with ViaSat Inc, is now live in South America which officially completes the company's global maritime coverage plan.Mini-VSAT is described by KVH as a more efficient, quick and reliable service than previously available to yachts. Vessels can be equipped with downloads as fast as 2 Mbps and uploads as fast as 1 Mbps, as well as Voice-over IP (VoIP) and telephone lines with optimised service.
“This marks the completion of a powerful, affordable alternative to older, slower, and less-reliable services that were once the only option for mariners. We set out to offer a dramatically new approach to maritime SATCOM, which is now a reality that mariners around the globe canenjoy, thanks to seamless mini-VSAT Broadband service wherever they travel,” said Brent C. Bruun, KVH’s senior vice president of global sales and business development. “We look forward to building on this development, providing additional convenience and value to mini-VSAT Broadband subscribers with continued network enhancements, new value-added options, and even broader regulatory approvals for in-port use of the network in key regions.”
