Because of the size of the equipment required for VSAT, vessel’s under 100ft in length don’t lend themselves to regular maritime VSAT technology where the domes can be 4 ft +. With that said, the KVH V7 and V3 are excellent alternatives as they offer flexible service plans and equipment that is not as large or as expensive.
