KVH Link delivered by IP-MobileCast
offers
licensed entertainment to commercial vessels at
sea without using the vessels monthly data plan
or slowing down onboard connections to the
Internet. Content may include movies, TV shows,
daily print and video news, sports highlights,
music, karaoke, and podcasts, depending on the
vessels subscription. KVH Link also offers large
file delivery services for critical ship operations,
including chart updates, weather data, company
communications to crew, and crew training.
The ICM stores all KVH Link content and
streams it locally to connected shipboard devices.
So if the customer subscribes to the service,
theres no additional equipment to install unless
the crew wants to view content on a TV. In that
case, a KVH Link Set-top Box (KVH part no.
72-0876) needs to be connected between the
vessel network and the TV. Refer to the KVH
Link Users Guide for details. For more
