FAQ

Is it possible to have more than two voice telephone lines with a single TracPhone V7?

Absolutely. Each TracPhone V7 is capable of supporting up to 4 additional voice lines. To do so, you'll need to contact your local TracPhone V7 dealer to activate the additional lines and arrange for the installation of 1 or 2 additional multimedia terminal adapters (MTAs). Additional monthly service charges will apply.

I'd like to learn more about the TracPhone V7 and the performance I can expect.

We're happy to help and, in fact, offer a datasheet that covers this very topic. Simply visit our Scoop on Satellites page and download the Understanding Satellite Communications Data Rates PDF document for all of the details.

What are the differences between TracPhone V7 and the TracPhone FleetBroadband systems?

While the domes protecting these antennas may look the same, the TracPhone V7 and KVH's Inmarsat FleetBroadband-compatible TracPhone systems offer a range of differences as well as complementary benefits.

The TracPhone FB500, FB250, and FB150 systems work with Inmarsat FleetBroadband service. It offers:

• Global voice, Internet and fax service
• Data rates ranging by plan from 128 to 432 Kbps
• Unsurpassed reliability in all weather and sea conditions

The TracPhone V7 uses the breakthrough mini-VSAT Broadband service, a new technology that offers:

• Global high-speed marine broadband Internet
• Data rates as fast as 512 Kbps (upload) and 2 MB (download)
• Voice service that can support multiple lines simultaneously
• Choice of fixed-fee, data rate-based and open-rate, pay-by-the-megabyte subscription plans
• Fully integrated design developed by KVH Industries and ViaSat

Does mini-VSAT Broadband support off-the-shelf VoIP services (e.g. Vonage, Skype)?

No, the TracPhone V7 includes its own voice service, which is specifically designed and managed for reliable operation in a mobile satellite environment.

Can I send and receive e-mail using my TracPhone system?

Yes! KVH's TracPhone systems are all designed to offer Internet and e-mail access along with voice connections.
