KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI), is introducing NEWSlinkTM
Live, a new digital content service for crew, at the CrewConnect
Global conference, in Manila, November 15-16. This next-generation
service enables seafarers to receive richer, more dynamic news,
sports, finance, and entertainment content on their personal
devices, and builds on KVH’s industry-leading NEWSlink service, in
use on more than 9,000 vessels worldwide. NEWSlink Live offers crew
a powerful digital wireless experience that supports all computers
and mobile devices for easy access, while optimising satellite
communications bandwidth and costs.
NEWSlink Live delivers the existing daily NEWSlink print
editions in an enhanced digital format, and also provides free
access to a 24/7 world news feed, a unique ‘play-by-play’ live
sports feed, and additional supplementary feeds and media services.
This enhanced service is enabled by a customised mini-media player,
supplied free of charge with every subscription.
“NEWSlink Live creates an improved experience for seafarers and
provides a logical ‘next-step’ service to enhance NEWSlink’s
existing daily and weekly newspaper service,” says Mark Woodhead,
KVH senior vice president for training and content. “NEWSlink
Live extends KVH’s commitment to provide the best content services
at sea. We can now deliver news in whatever format best suits the
vessel and its capabilities – NEWSlink print editions, the richer
content of NEWSlink Live, or KVH’s unique IP-MobileCastTM content
delivery service, which provides even more with NEWSlink TV.”
As a thought leader in the maritime industry, KVH is the
platinum sponsor of the 2016 CrewConnect Global conference,
together with maritime training provider VideotelTM, a KVH company.
In addition to the NEWSlink Live presentation, there will be a
Videotel demo during the conference to showcase a next-generation
virtual experience using the latest and most powerful technology of
the HTC Vive virtual reality (VR) system. The VR demo will enable
users to explore a virtual 360˚ engine room space, and be able to
perform a maintenance task with the use of wireless motion tracking
controllers.
“This virtual reality demonstration is a great example of how
Videotel is constantly looking to the future and staying ahead of
the industry to provide better services and a better understanding
of how crews’ competency and well-being can have a dramatic impact
on vessel performance,” says Mr. Woodhead.
In addition to the NEWSlink service and Videotel maritime
training programmes, KVH offers a wide range of solutions for the
maritime industry. These services include mini-VSAT Broadbandsm
connectivity, TracPhone® VIP-series satellite communications
hardware, the IP-MobileCast content delivery service, and the
comprehensive KVH OneCare™ service and support programme – a
complete solution that KVH refers to as the Power of OneTM.
