KVH Ships Record Number of VSAT Units in First Quarter 2021
May 06 2021 - 12:13PM
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI), announced today that it
shipped more than 500 VSAT satellite communications systems during
the first three months of 2021, marking the second consecutive
record quarter for VSAT shipments.
The company also announced that it had shipped more than 12,500
aggregate VSAT units since first introducing its mini-VSAT
BroadbandSM network and TracPhone® VSAT communications antenna
systems in 2007.
KVH’s recent record VSAT shipments come as the maritime industry
is adopting digitalization as a way to optimize operations, with
many fleets and commercial vessels migrating from slower legacy
L-band satellite communications systems to faster VSAT systems
operating on new high-throughput satellites (HTS).
The newly released “Prospects for Maritime Satellite
Communications, 2021,” by Euroconsult notes that KVH is the market
share leader by units in maritime VSAT as of the end of 2020.
Describing KVH’s recent success, KVH CEO Martin Kits van
Heyningen, says: “The increasing reliance on VSAT connectivity
throughout the maritime industry has increased the demand for our
TracPhone VSAT systems and connectivity and our commitment to
providing affordable airtime, fast data speeds, network security,
IoT proactive monitoring, and value-added services.”
KVH manufactures a complete line of advanced HTS antenna systems
designed for a wide range of yacht and vessel types. The 37 cm
diameter TracPhone V3-HTS and TracPhone V30 are fast, ultra-compact
Ku-band maritime VSAT antennas designed to deliver data speeds as
fast as 6 Mbps up/2 Mbps down; the TracPhone V7-HTS is a 60 cm
diameter Ku-band antenna designed to deliver data speeds as fast as
10 Mbps down/3 Mbps up; and the TracPhone V11-HTS is a 1 meter

speeds as fast as 20 Mbps down/3 Mbps up.
