Middletown’s KVH gets Russian contract

Middletown-based KVH Industries, Inc., said it is working with Unicom, a member of Sovcomflot, Russia’s largest shipping company, to equip the Unicom fleet with entertainment at sea via KVH’s satellite TV antennas. A total of 60 antennas will be installed over the duration of the project, representing the largest single maritime order in the company’s history. Installations, which are being managed by its Russian distributor, Navicom, are well under way and the project is expected to be completed within one year. The system, using a powerful, HDTV-ready satellite antenna, offers entertainment for large commercial vessels while maintaining a streamlined appearance. Powered by KVH’s exclusive technology with integrated GPS, and automatic and fully stabilized skew adjustment, the system offers passengers and crew access to high-quality satellite TV entertainment from regional services around the globe, even in the grueling conditions that are often a part of commercial maritime operations.
