Introducing KVH's exclusive RingFire Technology
The new TracVision M-series antennas all use KVH's proprietary new RingFire technology, a remarkable breakthrough in antenna design. Fusing precisely shaped, tuned parabolic dish antennas with custom-designed, dual-mode feed tubes and uniquely modified LNBs, RingFire technology provides unmatched illumination of the reflector resulting in signal strengths that are comparable to competitors' larger antennas. TracVision M-series antennas are up to 30% more powerful than KVH's TracVision HP products, which were already among the best in the industry. This means that with the TracVision M-series you'll enjoy wider geographic coverage and better reception, even in extreme weather.
