Compact Satcoms

Want to enjoy all the benefits of superfast shoreside internet connectivity while at sea, with an antenna that doesn’t dwarf your boat?

At just 14.5in diameter and weighing in at a svelte 25lb, the V3-HTS is not only the smallest available Ku-Band marine satcoms antenna, but at 5 Mbps download/2 Mbps upload it provides faster data speeds than most larger antennas. In operation, it communicates with KVH’s mini-VSAT Broadband HTS (high-throughput satellite) network, which uses Intelsat’s latest satellites. $17,995. KVH Industries, kvh.com
