“KVH” IP-MobileCast Service

 

Breakthrough Service Bringing News & Entertainment Content to Superyachts 

Turn the deck of any superyacht into a movie theater under the stars with KVH’s new IP-MobileCast for Superyachts, delivering new-release movies, TV series, breaking news, and more, wherever the yacht happens to be. The IP-MobileCast service enables automatic over-the-air delivery of a new generation of content that is needed to keep everyone onboard happy, and also enhance the boat’s operation. IP-MobileCast provides:

• A great selection of new releases, blockbusters, and classic favorites from Hollywood, independent, and international studios 

• Favorite television programs and sports coverage

• International and regional news updated several times per day

• Electronic chart, weather, and training content

• Superyacht Core Package for entertainment content at $295 per month; add news and sports channels for as low as $99 per month

The Superyacht Media Server is the heart of the service, with new movies and TV episodes updated automatically to the server – in addition to the hundreds of movies and TV shows that are preloaded on the server. Content can be viewed onboard on any device – laptop, smartphone, tablet, and TV.

Innovative Multicasting Technology

The IP-MobileCast content delivery service utilizes multicasting technology – a technique for one-to-many communications over an IP infrastructure. Shoreside servers encode files for transmission and queue them for multicast delivery. The content is delivered over the top (OTT) of the mini-VSAT Broadband network and does not use the superyacht’s data plan and does not affect onboard data speeds.
