KVH Launches Global Conference Series to Address Key Trends in Maritime Connectivity
30 April 2015 - 9:00PM
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI) has launched the 2015 Maritime
Connectivity Conference Series to inform maritime professionals
about the essential trends in connectivity, big data, and training
that are transforming the industry. The inaugural event is taking
place in Limassol, Cyprus, today, and includes presentations from
experts in the areas of connectivity and content delivery, maritime
training, voyage optimization, electronic chart data access, and
options for addressing crew entertainment. "With the exploding
demand for broadband at sea coupled with the challenges of
controlling costs in a competitive market, commercial maritime
operators are exploring the best resources for leveraging modern
satellite communications services to improve their fleet
operations," says Martin Kits van Heyningen, KVH chief executive
officer. "By bringing together industry experts in key ports
worldwide, we hope there will be a good exchange of information so
operators can take action." The series is intended for maritime
professionals, including ship masters, fleet operators, personnel
and manning professionals, fleet managers, and maritime IT and
Communications professionals. The events are structured to include
presentations by experts at VideotelTM, a KVH company in the
forefront of maritime e-Learning; Transas, a top producer of
electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS) and
provider of electronic navigation charts; Jeppesen, a leading
producer of electronic navigation charts and digital navigation
solutions; and AWT, a marine industry leader in weather forecasting
and ship routing. Videotel, Transas, Jeppesen, and AWT are
operations-content partners with KVH's breakthrough new content
delivery service, IP-MobileCastTM, which utilizes multicasting
technology to deliver large amounts of content to many ships at
once, overcoming the prohibitively high satellite communications
costs typically charged to deliver files for individual use. The
events will also feature connectivity experts from KVH's mini-VSAT
Broadbandsm satellite network, content-delivery experts from KVH's
IP-MobileCast content delivery service, and entertainment content
specialists from KVH Media Group, a leading provider of
entertainment content for the maritime industry. Hands-on
demonstrations of the IP-MobileCast service are available as well.
KVH is unique in the maritime industry for offering a complete
maritime connectivity solution that includes satellite
communications antenna hardware, network management hardware,
connectivity, commercially licensed content, and content delivery.
Following Cyprus, there are three events in the 2015 Maritime
Connectivity Conference Series scheduled in May: Copenhagen,
Denmark (May 13); Singapore (May 15); and Seattle, WA (May 19).
Five additional events are planned for late 2015: Hamburg, Germany;
Athens, Greece; Oslo, Norway; Hong Kong; and New Orleans, LA. For
