History

KVH describes itself as a global leader in mobile connectivity, enabling people on sea and land to stay connected to business, family, and friends through innovative hybrid communications and content. In 2024, KVH introduced TracNet Coastal, which offers multi-channel connectivity—integrated cellular and Wi-Fi with intelligent hybrid switching—that enables commercial vessels and leisure yachts to save data by automatically switching to shore-based Wi-Fi networks when available and 5G/cellular service with extended range along the coast. TracNet Coastal provides global cellular connect and easy integration with and management of additional WAN connections, such as Starlink, OneWeb, VSAT, and more. Also in 2024, KVH introduced CommBox Edge, an all-in-1 management toolbox for commercial maritime IT and leisure yachts that provides versatile control over a vessel’s wide area networks, local area networks, and networked devices for optimized communications performance. In 2023, the introduction of the KVH ONE OpenNet Program enabled mariners to bring the advantages of the KVH ONE Global HTS Network to commercial vessels and leisure boats equipped with non-KVH equipment.
