ltra-compact TracPhone® V3-IP Paired with Iridium Pilot® for Pole-to-pole Global Service

Choose a great solution for economical, global SATCOM with the 39 cm (15.5 inch) diameter TracPhone V3-IP plus the Iridium Pilot. TracPhone V3-IP is the world’s smallest maritime VSAT antenna, designed exclusively for the world’s No. 1 maritime VSAT service – mini-VSAT Broadband. Advanced ArcLight® spread spectrum technology enables the V3-IP’s extremely compact design, while still providing outstanding performance — fast download speeds (up to 2 Mbps), reliable Internet and e-mail, and optimized voice communications. Not only does advanced connectivity improve operational efficiency, it also helps meet MLC-2006 crew welfare requirements. Now, with KVH’s new System Bundle, TracPhone V3-IP is paired with an Iridium Pilot for pole-to-pole coverage.

Integrated CommBox Modem (ICM) – Key to Seamless Integration
Designed for the broadband era and its requirements for onboard networking, TracPhone V3-IP features the ICM, which includes an IP-enabled antenna control unit for easy set-up, built-in CommBox Network Manager for onboard networking, ArcLight spread spectrum modem, VoIP adapter, Ethernet switch, and Wi-Fi capabilities all in one 2U-high unit.

With the TracPhone V3-IP/Iridium Pilot System Bundle, the ICM is preconfigured by KVH to ensure seamless integration:

  • TracPhone V3-IP and mini-VSAT Broadband service is always chosen first
  • If the service becomes unavailable for any reason, onboard LAN and Wi-Fi networks switch to Iridium OpenPort broadband services
  • The system automatically switches back to mini-VSAT Broadband airtime service as soon as it is available
  • Both the mini-VSAT Broadband and Iridium OpenPort airtime services are billed through KVH for the customer’s convenience

 

The ICM also supports KVH’s upcoming IP-MobileCast service, an economical solution for crew morale and welfare, providing multicast delivery of rich content – directly to subscribing vessels.
