KVH Industries and Vroon have completed deploying Starlink/VSAT hybrid connectivityacross 58 Vroon vessels. The system combines new Starlink Flat High Performance Terminals with existing KVH TracPhone V7-HTS VSAT terminals and Iridium Certus units. The implementation is part of Vroon's KVH AgilePlans subscription.
The hybrid solution integrates Starlink's speed and low latency with KVH's global VSAT network through the KVH ONE network, which combines GEO-based VSAT, LEO services, global 5G/LTE services, L-band, and shore-based Wi-Fi. The upgrade aims to enhance crew welfare by providing reliable, high-speed internet access while improving vessel operations efficiency.
