Kvh Industries, Inc.
A maker of satellite and 5G/LTE connectivity for ships and boats, KVH keeps commercial crews online at sea with its KVH ONE service—blending Starlink, Eutelsat OneWeb, and cellular—plus the KVH Link platform for licensed movies, news, and music. It was born in 1982 in the basement of the founders' Rhode Island home as "Sailcomp," building the world's first sailing computer for a French America's Cup syndicate, and its name comes from the Kits van Heyningen family. The company is now winding down its own hardware manufacturing and shifting to a service model.
