Content Delivery

IP‑MobileCast – Delivers operations and entertainment content directly to your yacht with no impact on your data plan or onboard speeds.

How It Works

In a marine industry first, IP‑MobileCast utilizes multicasting technology, a technique for one-to-many communications over an IP infrastructure. The capability to receive KVH’s exciting IP‑MobileCast service is built into all TracPhone VIP systems, and can be easily added to older TracPhone V‑series products with the addition of the KVH Media Server.

IP-MobileCast multicasting technology
The old way...

Unicasting

Content is individually sent to each user on each yacht – each transmission requires a round trip to the cloud via a distant satellite, increasing billable data usage and burdening the satellite connection.

The innovative way...

IP‑MobileCast

Content is multicast once to all subscribing yachts and stored onboard for latency-free access by up to 100 simultaneous users. Does not consume yachts’s data plan nor can it harm onboard data speeds.

Learn more about the IP‑MobileCast Technology

Watch On Any Device

You and your guests will love IP‑MobileCast. Everyone onboard has immediate, simultaneous, unlimited access to IP-MobileCast’s news, sports, movies, TV shows, and music channels – on the TVs in the yacht’s salons, staterooms, and cabins or by using their favorite personal device.Entertainment anywhere

"For me IP‑MobileCast is a miracle, and I never expected this was technically possible. I’d like to thank you and the company for making this possible for us."

The world’s most demanding customers choose KVH

KVH's Customers

With a yacht owner who works in the biotech industry, the requirement was for connectivity 24/7. The ability to facilitate reliable, effective, and speedy Internet communications is an absolute necessity for him and eluded us until we went with mini-VSAT Broadband.

Garrath Getley, Captain, Paradigm, 115-ft Benetti Classic

My wife and I don’t have a permanent home port. Because we are constantly migrating, we needed a consistent Internet source and phone connection in all kinds of environments. We chose the TracPhone V7 for its reliability, speed of Internet connection, and quality of the telephone service.

Rick Heiniger, Owner, Eliana, 76-ft Nordhavn

The speed of the Internet connection is very impressive. Also, the clarity of the voice connection is very good. As for system setup, it’s effortless. I’ve been the one to conduct the initial power-up to test the system’s operation; I turned it on and it worked immediately.

Todd Tally, Sales Manager, Atlantic Marine Electronics

We don’t worry about wasting time going back and forth between service and hardware providers playing the ‘blame game’ if we’re having an issue, we call KVH, period.

Ken Maff, Captain, Kapalua, 115-ft Crescent

I chose the TracPhone V3 for the compact size of the dome, the outstanding data upload and download performance and excellent global coverage of the mini-VSAT Broadband network, the high-quality Voice over IP (VoIP) service, and the low cost per megabyte. The TracPhone V3 is a big step forward compared to the Inmarsat FB250 I was using previously!

Andrea Recordati, Owner, Indio, 100-ft Wally

We spend most of our time on anchor so we’re nowhere near a marina. It allows us the freedom to go wherever we need to go online. That’s really the best part about KVH’s TracPhone system for us, it keeps our owner in touch with things.

Evan Calleia, Captain, Sea Fox, 100-ft Cheoy Lee

The TracPhone V3 was easy to set-up and is even easier to use when we surf the web, send and receive e-mails or make a phone call. Comparing the V3 to other systems we’ve used, we prefer KVH’s product quality and their superb service.

Juan Ramirez Manriquez, Allegra II, 54-ft Searay
