IP-MobileCast for Superyachts
Breakthrough Service Bringing News & Entertainment Content to Superyachts
Turn the deck of any superyacht into a movie theater under the stars with KVH’s new IP-MobileCast for Superyachts, delivering new-release movies, TV series, breaking news, and more, wherever the yacht happens to be. The IP-MobileCast service enables automatic over-the-air delivery of a new generation of content that is needed to keep everyone onboard happy, and also enhance the boat’s operation. IP-MobileCast provides:
A great selection of new releases, blockbusters, and classic favorites from Hollywood, independent, and international studios
Favorite television programs and sports coverage
International and regional news updated several times per day
Electronic chart, weather, and training content
Superyacht Core Package for entertainment content at $295 per month; add news and sports channels for as low as $99 per month
The Superyacht Media Server is the heart of the service, with new movies and TV episodes updated automatically to the server – in addition to the hundreds of movies and TV shows that are preloaded on the server. Content can be viewed onboard on any device – laptop, smartphone, tablet, and TV.
Innovative Multicasting Technology
The IP-MobileCast content delivery service utilizes multicasting technology – a technique for one-to-many communications over an IP infrastructure. Shoreside servers encode files for transmission and queue them for multicast delivery. The content is delivered over the top (OTT) of the mini-VSAT Broadband network and does not use the superyacht’s data plan and does not affect onboard data speeds.
