KVH Industries Inc. is bringing satellite television services to vehicles through its TracVision A9 antenna system. The company, in a press release, said the TracVision A9, a compact, low-profile satellite television antenna, can provide vehicles with DirectTV channels, and DISH network high-definition channels. At 5 inches tall, the system is designed to meet the needs of vehicles with height restrictions, including luxury sport utility vehicles, family minivans, charter coaches and emergency vehicles, KVH said in a news release.

“The TracVision A9 enables emergency first responders to receive critical breaking news information that can help them do their work,” Martin Kits van Heyningen, KVH’s CEO, said in a statement. “In addition, it makes it possible for passengers on SUVs, charter buses, sports team buses and many other types of vehicles to watch their favorite TV programming while on the road.”

The TracVision A9 features an IP-enabled TV-hub with a web-based user interface designed to provide system access from any smartphone, tablet, smart television or computer. It also features a single-cable design, simplifying the installation process.

KVH has offered in-motion satellite television systems for 20 years.
