KVH Increases Data Speed and Expands Coverage for AgilePlans Solution Designed for Smaller Commercial Vessels
April 15 2021 - 3:00AM
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI), announced today that its
AgilePlans® Regional solution designed for fishing vessels,
workboats, and smaller commercial vessels now features data speeds
as fast as 6 Mbps down/2 Mbps up and worldwide coverage providing
vessels that typically work in regional waters with greater
geographic flexibility.
AgilePlans Regional is a Connectivity as a Service
(CaaS) subscription-based model that includes a choice of hardware
(TracPhone® V30, KVH’s newest and easiest-to-install ultra-compact
system or the 37 cm TracPhone V3-HTS antenna with expanded network
management), unlimited email and texting, installation in as many
as 4,000 ports and locations, cybersecurity protection, KVH
OneCare™ maintenance, and no commitment, all for one monthly
fee. “The challenges of the pandemic in the past year showed just
how important reliable satellite communications are for working
vessels and we are committed to ensuring that smaller commercial
vessels have access to a solution that meets their needs,” says
Mark Woodhead, KVH executive vice president for mobile
connectivity. “The no-commitment, all-inclusive AgilePlans model is
designed to help fleets upgrade their satcom with no upfront CAPEX
costs, which might otherwise be a barrier.”The AgilePlans Regional
service complements KVH’s AgilePlans Global service, which is
offered with the 60 cm TracPhone V7-HTS (with data speeds as high
as 10/3 Mbps down/up) and the 1 meter TracPhone V11-HTS (with data
speeds as high as 20/3 Mbps down/up), making AgilePlans available
for commercial vessels of all sizes.Throughout the maritime
industry, commercial fleets are migrating from legacy L-band
systems, where slower data speeds are measured in kilobits per
second (Kbps) to VSAT services, such as KVH AgilePlans, where
faster data speeds measured in megabits per second (Mbps) enable
vessels to improve operational efficiency through digitalization.
Vessel operators can use faster connectivity to take advantage of
real-time data transfers to improve decision making for fuel
optimization, route planning, and safety and to support cloud-based
software programs, remote system monitoring, and data
analytics.
KVH’s TracPhone HTS series antenna systems are designed for
KVH’s mini-VSAT BroadbandSM HTS network, which provides global
coverage from multi-layered high-throughput satellites (HTS) in the
Intelsat FlexMaritime network with additional coverage from SKY
Perfect JSAT.KVH is a mobile tech innovator that provides
connectivity solutions for commercial maritime, leisure marine, and
land mobile applications on vessels and vehicles, including the
