By GlobalData“We are extremely pleased that they have chosen our KVH Watch service as their connectivity solution and we look forward to being their partner as maritime IoT continues to grow throughout the industry.”
In case of remote maintenance, often, an IoT company is not in control of connectivity from the ship and relies on slow, intermittent or cellular communications at the port.
It prevents unbroken real-time IoT data transfer and the ability to take action at sea.
The company said that its affordable high-speed connectivity can tackle such problems, enabling shoreside monitoring of the assets on board a vessel with the ability to resolve issues in real time via video interventions.
In addition, it reduces maintenance costs and delays in port.
KVH Watch, an IoT Connectivity as a Service solution, provides secure continuous machine-to-cloud satellite connectivity for remote monitoring of on-board assets.
It has been designed for maritime equipment producers, multi-card service providers, and shipyards, seeking affordable monthly subscription-based connectivity.
