What Customers Say


The recommendation for the V7 came from captains operating our vessels; they had heard about it from other captains. They are very pleased with the system, specifically as it pertains to the ability to email photos for hard to find parts, providing weather reports to other fleets, and increased data transmission speeds for sending reports.

~ Christian Asay, Operations Manager, Trident Seafoods Reliable communication is essential to our business, so we found the low operating cost and higher data capacity of the TracPhone V7 very attractive. The initial equipment cost was higher than what we paid for the LEO systems that were being replaced, which is OK with us because the TracPhone V7 performs as advertised. ~ Stephen Kemp, Resource Manager, Tesla We chose to switch to mini-VSAT Broadband because it is a more affordable solution and also offers us more advantages for support and crew retention. Plus, the antenna can be installed in just one day. ~ Rolf Arne Herheim, Technical Director, DSD Shipping

KVH Industries, Inc.

CRMA Spread Spectrum


CRMA spreads traditional carrier to 20x the unspread bandwidth
Reuses bandwidth, transmitting 15 carriers with BW = 30.7 MHz simultaneously in a single transponder Lower power spectral density reduces interference problems that may occur with small antennas with wide beam widths
