While KVH has been busy developing entertainment solutions for the mariner, it has not ignored its core ship owner business customers, and in tandem the capabilities of broadband can deliver ef- fi ciencies to everyday ship operations. “The operations manager will be con- cerned with things like ‘how do I get my digital charts on the vessel?’” said Dodez.
He sees the evolution of communication service at sea picking up serious steam in this regard, reasoning that as satellite owners focus more capacity on the ocean regions, prices drop and allow companies like KVH to lease the capacity to provide total geographic coverage of the oceans.
While the satellite signal is a key com- ponent, modern electronics has played a large part too. “Through Innovation and working with modem manufacturers we have been able to bring the hardware down from a stack of equipment that fi lled a whole computer hardware rack down to one box,” said Dodez. “Modern electron- ics has allowed us to compress that into a simple, easy to install solution.”
A strong network ops infrastructure is the back- bone to successful shore to ship operations
