“We see their entire solution as critical to our business operation, providing everything from connectivity to 24/7 support.”

The TracPhone V7-HTS enables Seaspan vessels to support both operations and crew internet from a single system.

Vessels with the TracPhone V11-IP benefit from a 1m C/Ku-band antenna that provides global broadband connectivity from KVH’s mini-VSAT Broadband network.

To support business efficiency, the Seaspan vessels use KVH’s CommBox Network Manager, a suite of integrated tools.

KVH Industries Mobile Connectivity executive vice-president Mark Woodhead said: “Whether it is our network support, airtime, or field services team, everyone at KVH values the interaction with Seaspan as the foundation of a strong partnership, with the end result being that we support their vessels in everything from connectivity to their close communications with seafarers.”
