New KVH TracNet 2.0 Offers Lower-cost, Enhanced System Expands Coverage Areas, Lowers Airtime KVH Industries (Nasdaq: KVHI), the company
that pioneered in-motion broadband Internet access, recently introduced its
new, faster TracNet 2.0 Mobile High-speed Internet System for vehicles at
the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) National RV Trade Show
in Louisville, Kentucky. TracNet 2.0 offers an expanded array of features
that make it the most versatile mobile broadband Internet system available
to travelers throughout North America. Among these enhancements are standard
coverage that now includes Alaska and the Caribbean, KVH's integrated
Velocity Acceleration Software that significantly boosts transmission
speeds, and the ability to maintain a two-way Internet connection even when
the TracVision antenna is being used for satellite TV reception. In
addition, KVH is reducing TracNet mobile airtime rates by 40%, making the
service even more affordable.
"TracNet 2.0 is a dynamic link to the Internet, e-mail, and company networks
thanks to its combination of high-powered mobile DirecPC downloads, built-in
networking, and extended coverage capabilities," explained Ian Palmer, KVH
vice president of satellite sales. "No other system can offer the range of
capabilities built into TracNet 2.0, such as Internet downloads at speeds
reaching 400 Kbps and simultaneous Internet access by up to five separate
users. The first TracNet was a breakthrough combination of technology. We
have now built on that initial success and launched an even more versatile
system. Whether you need Internet access for business, pleasure, or vital
information, TracNet 2.0 is your gateway to the Internet, wherever you
travel."
The TracNet 2.0 system uses a powerful server/router, mobile return paths,
the mobile DirecPC Internet service, and a KVH TracVision satellite TV
antenna to provide two-way, high-speed access to the Internet even when
driving down the road. Broadband downloads are received by the TracVision
antenna and are available within the mobile DirecPC coverage area, which
encompasses the continental U.S. and Canada.
TracNet 2.0's standard coverage area, which includes Caribbean islands and
Alaska, provides two-way access at speeds equivalent to 56 Kbps when using
KVH's integrated Velocity Acceleration Software. In addition, the standard
service can be used even when the TracVision antenna is receiving satellite
TV signals, allowing RV owners and passengers to enjoy their favorite
television programming as well as full-featured, two-way Internet
connections. The powerful server-based TracNet 2.0 offers unmatched
versatility that includes 802.11b (Wi-Fi) wireless and Ethernet network
connections, permitting as many as five users to surf the web simultaneously
on separate computers.
"The need for access to the Internet continues to grow among RV and
motorcoach owners," continued Palmer. "The variety of information that is
available - investment and business data, sports, news, entertainment,
e-mail, weather and travel information - are all of value to our customers.
Our system enhancements, the launch of TracNet 2.0, and the introduction of
low airtime rates make two-way, broadband Internet access an affordable and
powerful option for travelers throughout North America and the Caribbean."
