KVH’s optional IP-MobileCast service delivers licensed entertainment to commercial vessels and superyachts at sea without consuming the vessel’s data plan or affecting data speeds. It also offers large file delivery services for critical ship operations, including chart updates, weather data, and crew training.
When installed on the vessel, the KVH Media Server can receive licensed movies, TV shows, music, digital newspapers, and e-learning courses via IP-MobileCast, as it is designed to decode copyrighted content safeguarded by digital rights management (DRM). The Media Server stores all subscribed IP-MobileCast content downloaded from the mini-VSAT Broadband network and streams it locally to connected shipboard devices.
Media Server
Without a Media Server installed on the vessel, you can still receive video-based news and sports updates, as well as electronic charts and weather data, via the IP-MobileCast service. The ICM will store all of this content on its internal hard drive.
