KVH Extends Its Line of Marine Satcom Choices With TracPhone Fleet One
September 21 2015 - 8:46PM
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI), has introduced the TracPhone®
Fleet One marine satellite communications antenna system, a 28 cm
(11 in) diameter unit designed for vessels needing global satellite
phone service and basic satellite Internet access. The TracPhone
Fleet One complements KVH’s other Inmarsat-based offerings in the
FleetBroadband family and its own extensive TracPhone product line
for mini-VSAT Broadbandsm service.
Utilizing Inmarsat’s airtime service, the TracPhone Fleet One
offers satellite phone service everywhere at sea except the polar
regions, and provides data speeds up to 100 Kbps, typically
sufficient for email and limited Internet access along the coast
worldwide. The antenna system has an MSRP of $4,995, and the basic
airtime plan provides 50 minutes of voice and 5 MB of data for just
$49.99 per month – an affordable option for even the casual sailor
or small fleet.
In addition, the TracPhone Fleet One system supports the free
‘505’ safety service, directing any emergency calls to a rescue
center.
“The demand for satellite phone service and broadband
connectivity at sea continues to grow, and KVH offers the most
complete line of solutions,” says Brent Bruun, KVH executive vice
president for mobile broadband. “From the weekend sailor or small
fleet owner using Fleet One to the most sophisticated global
commercial maritime operators taking advantage of our global
mini-VSAT Broadband service, we offer a capability set and price
point matched to customers’ needs.”
