Sea Ray Now Offering 14.5"-diameter TracVision M3 Satellite TV
System as Option on New Boats 29-44' in Length
Sea Ray customers expect to enjoy the best their boats have to
offer, including the excitement of live satellite television. For
years, owners of Sea Ray boats 44' and longer looked to the
award-winning KVH TracVision(R) 4 and 4-HP satellite TV antennas. Now,
Sea Ray, one of the world's largest makers of in-board recreational
powerboats, offers small boat owners what they've been missing -
premium digital satellite TV with no compromise in performance thanks
to the groundbreaking TracVision M3 from KVH Industries, Inc.,
(Nasdaq: KVHI). With the TracVision M3 now included as an option on
boats 29-44', Sea Ray sets a new standard for technology and
entertainment in the marine industry.
"The smaller boats make up a large segment of our business, and
we're thrilled to finally have the opportunity to offer mobile
satellite TV to our customers," said Rob Noyes, Sea Ray's vice
president of marketing. "Up until now, satellite TV was a total
impossibility for these folks because the antennas were just too big.
All it took was for KVH to come up with a TracVision solution that was
small enough to fit without compromising performance, and we had
ourselves a way to meet a huge demand, while offering all the quality
and reliability Sea Ray customers have come to expect."
The 14.5"-diameter TracVision M3 offers everything a small boat
owner needs to enjoy more than 300 channels of DIRECTV(R) programming,
including 70+ channels of XM Satellite Radio music, when cruising
along the coast and as far as 200 miles offshore. The TracVision M3
also includes KVH's exclusive 12-volt satellite TV receiver and an RF
remote control that allows users to change channels even if the
receiver is safely tucked away in a cabinet or stateroom closet.
Commenting on Sea Ray's selection of the TracVision M3, Ian
Palmer, KVH's executive vice president of satellite sales, remarked,
"Sea Ray and KVH share a commitment to superior quality and a truly
remarkable user experience. By extending its offering of TracVision
technology to smaller boats, Sea Ray confirms why it is recognized
industry-wide as a leader in maritime technology, innovation, and
craftsmanship. We look forward to continuing to work with Sea Ray to
bring outstanding performance and digital satellite TV entertainment
to their discerning customers."
