KVH Wins Three Prestigious Product Awards From the National Marine Electronics Association for 2015
October 07 2015 - 1:11PM
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI) is pleased to announce it has
been recognized for outstanding marine electronics products by the
top marine electronics professionals in the country. KVH’s
TracPhone® V3-IP received the National Marine Electronics
Association’s (NMEA) 2015 Product of Excellence Award in the
satellite communications antenna category; the TracVision® TV3
received the Product of Excellence Award in the satellite TV
antenna category; and the TracVision TV-series app received the
Product of Excellence Award in a new category for marine apps with
a technical utility.
This is the 18th consecutive year that KVH has achieved the NMEA
distinction for its TracVision satellite television antenna systems
and the 13th time that KVH’s TracPhone satellite communications
systems have been recognized. NMEA is an industry group made up of
more than 600 companies, including manufacturers, dealers, and boat
builders.
“We are thrilled to receive this recognition from NMEA knowing
that it represents the opinion of skilled professionals who have
firsthand experience with the installation and performance of our
products, as well as those of our competitors,” says Martin Kits
van Heyningen, KVH chief executive officer. “It is also exciting to
see that our TracVision TV-series app is considered by technicians
as the best in its class for this new category.”
The new “Marine App-Technical Utility” category reflects the way
marine electronics technicians and installers work today, namely
with Internet-based tools accessed from their smartphones. KVH’s
TracVision TV-series app was singled out for “excellence for an
embedded app whose primary function is to aid technicians who
install or troubleshoot marine electronics.” The app can be used
when installing any one of the five TracVision TV-series antenna
systems in KVH’s product line.
Winning the satellite communications antenna category, KVH’s
TracPhone V3-IP is a 37 cm (14.5 inch) diameter Ku-band VSAT
antenna that operates on KVH’s worldwide mini-VSAT Broadbandsm
network. The ultra-compact system meets the increasing demand for
broadband connectivity on boats today, delivering fast data speeds
at low airtime costs, and with a terminal that can be installed on
boats as small as 30 feet. The TracPhone V3-IP and its earlier
variant, the TracPhone V3, have been recognized with a NMEA product
award in the satellite communications antenna category for the past
four years in a row.
Winning the satellite television antenna category, KVH’s
TracVision TV3 is an ultra-compact marine satellite TV system ideal
for powerboats and sailboats frequenting cruising areas located
within 100 nautical miles offshore. The TV3 makes it possible for
boaters to enjoy their favorite high-definition television
programming while spending time on the water. The compact system,
37 cm (14.5 inch) diameter, includes an IP-enabled TV-Hub for easy
setup and operation, and makes it possible to access system
information from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. First
introduced last year, the TracVision TV3 joins a long line of
TracVision products that have been honored by NMEA, going back to
1998, the year NMEA first recognized a KVH TracVision system.
