CommBox is built into the new TracPhone V3-IP system, and can be added to existing TracPhone V3 and V7 systems, as well as to other SATCOM systems. GlobalCare Premium Support While KVH offers the best standard warranty in the industry, we know some vehicles and operations have critical connectivity needs and, as a result, may want an added level of service and support. Your CommBox can be covered by the GlobalCare Premium Support Program when you combine it with a powerful TracPhone V7-IP or V7 or an ultra-compact TracPhone V3-IP or V3. Starting with 24/7/365 dedicated hotline numbers to the GlobalCare Center, and using a tiered service support system worldwide, GlobalCare guarantees a new level of support and responsiveness should you experience a technical issue. Hardware Options The use of dedicated CommBox hardware permits IT managers to create LANs on multiple mobile platforms to segregate communications traffic for operations, field teams, clients, and more. Plus, with its dedicated hardware, CommBox is more stable, protected from viruses, and less prone to problems than software-only solutions installed on your vehicles’ PCs. To make the CommBox installation as convenient as possible, there are two versatile hardware options available: CommBox C2 Compact, solid-state unit Two LAN ports 4 GB compact Flash card Includes QuickBasic software for least cost routing, firewall and VPN, bandwidth management, transmission optimization, and web caching CommBox R8 Rack-mountable unit Eight LAN ports 80 GB hard disk Includes QuickBasic software for least cost routing, firewall and VPN, bandwidth management, transmission optimization, and web caching Hub Options CommBox users enjoy the choice of using either a secure KVH-hosted hub or installing a private hub at a site of their choice, options typically not available via software-only solutions. Regardless of which hub arrangement is chosen, the CommBox hub serves as a central operational point for your entire mobile satellite communications solution and is required for use with all CommBox software modules. The CommBox hub equips you with complete visibility and control over every vehicle's communications infrastructure and operations. For details and technical specifications, see the KVH CommBox Datasheet.
