KVH’s IP-MobileCast service changes the way of delivering entertainment onboard vessels for crew welfare. IP-MobileCast is an excellent technology that can benefit both the operation and the crew. Having IP-MobileCast onboard is particularly important because I believe that if the crew is happy and well entertained, the operations will be successful and safe.

Rob Frenks, Group ITC Manager, Vroon B.V.

We selected the KVH mini‑VSAT Broadband service after evaluating its performance on more than a dozen of our managed vessels. The small, relatively lightweight antennas are much easier to place, do not require a crane, and can offer a greater choice in finding a clear location to minimize obstructions by the ship’s superstructure.
