KVH Global Satellite Broadband Makes Wallets Cry

How important is your broadband access? If you were, say, heading out to the high seas for a few months, how much would you pay for a 2Mbps connection in the middle of the ocean? A few hundred bucks, perhaps, just so you had access to BitTorrent and could download movies for your lonely nights at sea? You wish. More »

TracNet 100 Mobile Stuffs WiFi and TV in your Car


Here it is, the thing to make your computer a little bit more like KITT. The TracNet 100 Mobile puts a WiFi hotspot, web browsing, and IPTV in your hoopty ride. The data love comes courtesy of a Verizon EVDO card, built into the controller box. That box itself has 802.11G wireless, 3 ethernet ports, and an MSN IPTV tuner. Topping off the package is a remote and keyboard. But know that the TracNet system doesn't come with a monitor. You'll have to hook your own up through the VGA, or standard video outputs. Internet AND cable in the car? Looks like I'm going to need to fit a Lazyboy recliner in the backseat. More »

DirecTV For the Sea

Have boat, will travel. Now add the new TracVision M3 satellite TV system and you can travel in style. KVH Industries, Inc. has announced the M3 as the world's smallest marine satellite TV system, perfect for boats as small as 25 feet. Maybe you thought your vessel was just too tiny to be kicking up your feet and watching the tube? KVH says no to you naysayers. The product includes the TracVision M3 antenna, an integrated 12-volt marine receiver for DIRECTV service and easy installation, and an RF remote control for convenient operation. And the 14.5-inch antenna is just as good as the other 18-inch jobbies on the larger systems. Install this baby and you'll get 300 channels of DirecTV programming and 50 channels of XM radio if you're within 200 miles of the shore. As mentioned, it uses an RF signal (rather than the IR on home systems) so you can change channels even when the receiver is under lock and key. More »
