KVH TracPhone V7 A powerful solution for broadband connections that leaves all other satellite systems in its wake

Go out to sea and stay in touch and online with KVH’s revolutionary TracPhone V7 with mini-VSAT Broadband service! A breakthrough product, TracPhone V7 offers affordable marine communications and the ideal way for you, your passengers, and your crew to stay connected with the same high-quality broadband data connections you use onshore.

Enjoy high-quality, consistent, always-on broadband data connections, multiple voice lines, and affordable airtime costs thanks to mini-VSAT Broadband’s spread spectrum satellite technology. This powerful global service is available via the award-winning 24" (60 cm) KVH TracPhone V7 antenna, which is a fraction of the size of standard 1-meter VSAT systems. A fully integrated belowdecks modem and control unit ensures easy set-up with shipboard networks!

Using next-generation technology and operating through dedicated hubs using high-capacity Ku-band satellites, mini-VSAT

Broadband creates a “cable modem” experience at sea with reliable data rates as fast as 1 Mbps ship-to-shore and 2 Mbps shore-to-ship.* Plus, mini-VSAT Broadband’s transmission technology offers excellent coverage and network traffic management, and consistent performance. The result? You get outstanding service speeds, reliability, and unlimited access,† all for much less than what you’ve been paying.

Thanks to the TracPhone V7, say goodbye to the days when a crane was necessary to install a marine satellite communications system or the

ship’s superstructure had to be reinforced to hold the massive antenna! Utilizing mini-VSAT Broadband’s spread spectrum broadcast technology, the TracPhone V7 is a far more user- and vessel-friendly antenna:

• More than 85% smaller by volume and 75% lighter than 1-meter VSAT antennas

• Easier and less expensive to install and maintain

• Rugged, commercial-grade design built to military standards, factory tested under vibration and high/low temperature extremes

• Dynamic gyro-stabilized tracking and military-grade modem for outstanding performance

• Automatic, stabilized, GPS-enabled skew control that adjusts dynamically to the boat’s movement and changes in geographic region

• Doesn’t require connection to the ship’s gyro-compass

* Upload speeds may vary by region; contact your KVH distributor/dealer for more details. † Subject to KVH’s Fair Access Policy; see KVH Airtime Services End User Agreement

“The best feature so far is the fact that I will often see four or five people online at the same time, and I do not get any complaints about the system being slow!”

Captain Laurence M/Y Sea Bird

Huge savings with the fastest data ratesOne of the greatest advantages of mini-VSAT Broadband service is the flexibility it offers to choose the data rates and cost structure that make the most sense for you, your needs, and your budget. Select an always-on, fixed rate plan and enjoy the convenience of a steady monthly communications cost, a seasonal plan if you don’t need full year usage, or a per-megabyte rate plan that offers tremendous flexibility as you only pay for what you use.

The mini-VSAT Broadband service packages offer huge cost savings compared to Inmarsat service. With faster data rates and per-megabyte costs up to 90% lower than Inmarsat, mini-VSAT Broadband service is the ideal solution when you need Internet access at sea.

Standard TDMA VSAT Systems

Fixed-assignment TDMA VSAT systems divide bandwidth into time slots, forcing users to wait their turn.

Groundbreaking spread spectrum satellite communications technologyBy choosing KVH’s mini-VSAT Broadband service, you equip your vessel with the highest quality VSAT service delivered by advanced “spread spectrum” technology previously only available to corporate jets and the military. The spread spectrum approach offers more affordable, “always-on” service, yet at the fastest data rates available. With uploads as fast as 1 Mbps, and downloads as fast as 2 Mbps, mini-VSAT Broadband is ideal for heavy data use.
