TracVision RV1

Breaking News for Emergency and Command Vehicles en Route
In an emergency situation, it is critical that your team has access to live satellite TV and breaking news while traveling to the scene. KVH’s new TracVision RV1 is ideal for military, law enforcement, homeland security, and emergency responder vehicles. The reliable ultra-compact (32 cm, 12.5 inch) RV1 satellite TV antenna provides high-quality satellite television coverage and excellent signal gain whether the vehicle is parked or in motion. The system supports programming from DIRECTV, DISH Network HD, and Bell TV in North America, as well as select linear Ku-band services in Europe.

Fast Satellite Acquisition and High Performance Tracking
TracVision RV1 is built for the challenging road conditions and rugged terrain that military and government vehicles encounter. No matter how remote the location, RV1’s advanced inertial-based stabilized search ensures fast satellite acquisition. High performance tracking with advanced algorithms provides crystal-clear television picture even when the vehicle is traveling at high speeds.

The TracVision RV1 is controlled by the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (Title 50, USC App 2401 et seq.) and its implementing regulations, the Export Administration Regulations, 15 CFR 730 et seq. Diversion contrary to U.S. law is prohibited.

RingFire Technology
KVH’s proprietary RingFire technology is a remarkable breakthrough in antenna design, fusing precisely shaped, tuned parabolic dish antennas with custom-designed, dual-mode feed tubes and uniquely modified LNBs. RingFire technology provides unmatched illumination of the reflector resulting in signal strengths comparable to competitors’ larger antennas. This means that with TracVision, you'll enjoy wider geographic coverage and better reception than with competing antennas, even in extreme conditions.
