The Integrated CommBox Modem (ICM)
The ICM is the streamlined all-in-one belowdecks unit that drives the TracPhone V7HTS. It features a browser-based user interface and a convenient iPhone app for system status, updates, and support. Replacing a full rack of components required for competitors systems, the 2U-high ICM contains:
- IP-enabled antenna control unit
- CommBox Network Manager
- High-throughput modem Voice over IP (VoIP) adapter
- Built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet switch
- Content storage and access for operations, entertainment and Videotel training content provided by IP-MobileCast
- Support for over-the-air software updates for the ICM and antenna unit
IP-MobileCast Content Delivery Service
KVHs IP-MobileCast service delivers large files, including electronic charts, weather forecasts, training videos, news, sports, TV shows and series, and premium movies. IP-MobileCast uses proprietary software that provides advanced error correction, compression, and validation of data integrity throughout the transmission from shore to ship for unparalleled reliability and efficiency. Shoreside servers encode files for transmission and queue them for multicast delivery over the top of the mini-VSAT Broadband network. The IP-MobileCast services patented Forward Error Correction (FEC) technology ensures that the CommBox servers on ships receive each file in perfect condition the first time it is transmitted. The unique FEC algorithms deliver the highest level of reliability by accommodating intermittent non-continuous transmission, which might happen when large transmissions are interrupted by prioritized network traffic or in very poor weather conditions.
