KVH's optional IP-MobileCast service delivers licensed entertainment
to commercial vessels and superyachts at sea without consuming the
vessel's data plan or affecting data speeds. It also offers large file
delivery services for critical ship operations, including chart updates,
weather data, and crew training.
When installed on the vessel, the KVH Media Server can receive
licensed movies, TV shows, digital newspapers, and e-learning
courses via IP-MobileCast, as it is designed to decode copyrighted
content safeguarded by digital rights management (DRM). The Media
Server stores all subscribed IP-MobileCast content downloaded from
the mini-VSAT Broadband network and streams it locally to connected
shipboard devices.

Without a Media Server installed on the vessel, you can still receive
electronic charts and weather data via the IP-MobileCast service. The
ICM will store all of this content on its internal hard drive.
To learn more about IP-MobileCast, visit www.kvh.com/ipmc. You
can also explore its web interface on the ICM. Connect your computer
or mobile device to the vessel network that is connected to the ICM.
Then start your web browser and enter http://ipmobilecast.com.
To access the IP-MobileCast web interface on the ICM (a Media Server
is not installed), connect your computer or mobile device to the vessel
network that is connected to the ICM. Then start your web browser
and enter http://ipmobilecast.com.
If a Media Server is installed, refer to the IP-MobileCast Viewing
Guide, which came with the Media Server, for access details.
