September 30 2016 - 5:00AM
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI) is pleased to announce that the
top marine electronics professionals in the country have honored
two of KVH’s marine satellite systems for their outstanding
performance and reliability. KVH’s TracPhone V3-IP received the
National Marine Electronics Association’s (NMEA) 2016 Product of
Excellence Award in the satellite communications antenna category,
while the TracVision TV3 received the 2016 Product of Excellence
Award in the satellite TV antenna category.
This is the 19th consecutive year that KVH has achieved the NMEA
distinction for its TracVision satellite television antenna systems
and the 14th 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.
“NMEA’s skilled professionals work on boats and with boaters
every day, so they have an unmatched understanding of what works,
what doesn’t, and what keeps their customers satisfied,” says
Martin Kits van Heyningen, KVH chief executive officer. “We are
gratified to have earned this recognition from NMEA and its members
based on their firsthand experience with our products and services,
along with those of our competitors. We strive every day to justify
the confidence that NMEA experts and their customers have placed in
us.”
KVH’s 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 five years in a row.
The 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 most widely fielded maritime VSAT service1. The
ultra-compact system meets the increasing demand for broadband
connectivity on boats today and into the future, delivering fast
data speeds at low airtime costs, and with a terminal that can be
installed on boats as small as 30 feet.
First introduced in 2014, the TracVision TV3 joins a long line
of TracVision products that have been honored by NMEA, going back
to 1998. The TracVision TV3 is an ultra-compact marine satellite TV
system ideal for powerboats and sailboats that cruise as far as 100
nautical miles offshore. The TV3 makes it possible for boaters to
enjoy their favorite high-definition television programming while
on the water. The compact, 37 cm (14.5 inch) diameter system
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.
