Oil rigs, cargo ships and other commercial or government maritime vessels now have a way to access cost-efficient, high-speed mobile broadband coverage for their crew members while on the move -- regardless of where they are in the world.

KVH Industries, the leader in mobile satellite TV and satellite communications systems, recently selected NewCom to market its powerful Mini-VSAT Broadband Service to the commercial maritime and government sectors around the globe, enabling crew members to stay in constant touch with family and loved ones.

The Mini-VSAT Broadband Service -- which requires only a small 24-inch TracPhone VY antenna instead of the standard 1.2 meter VSAT systems -- is a break-though technology that intuitively tracks satellites and automatically shifts to different satellite footprints as necessary.  the turnkey package includes a port that facilitates easy hook up to a fax machine or telephone, providing all the conveniences of a home office or business center on the high seas.

NewCom -- one of only a select few resellers targeting the commercial sector for KVH -- is the only reseller that has a NOC for Latin America, giving KVH entry into this vital market.
