Videotel content to be delivered by KVH Traininglink

MIDDLETOWN – Videotel, a maritime e-Learning company of KVH Industries Inc., will update its training programs via KVH’s Traininglink, a move that it says has the potential to transform maritime training at sea.
Videotel’s new continual improvement model of application and content updating will be implemented for its products Videotel on Demand and Networked Videotel on Demand by utilizing the multicasting technology of KVH’s content delivery service.

Subscribers to Videotel on Demand and Networked Videotel on Demand who are also customers of KVH’s mini-VSAT Broadband service and IP-MobileCast content delivery service will receive new training material as soon as it is released, with free delivery over their broadband connection. Previously, annual training program updates had to be sent by CD-ROM or USB stick via courier, which could often involve an average time of one to three months to reach a vessel.
The Videotel on Demand system is a computer-based solution for crew training and records management onboard ship; the Networked Videotel on Demand enables access across the vessel’s network system allowing multiple users to train simultaneously on different or the same subjects, with all training being recorded.

With the immediacy of the IP-MobileCast delivery method, Videotel can more effectively help maritime operators keep their crew training up to date. Training can be particularly challenging to implement in the maritime industry because of logistics involved in reaching mariners.

Videotel’s training solutions are currently available onboard more than 11,000 vessels worldwide.
