KVH Satellite System

[Dockhead]

We have a KVH V30 satellite system for our Atlantic crossing and subsequent Caribbean cruise.


Two people on board, myself and the owner, are both in the middle of business deals and we need more bandwidth than we can get from an Iridium Go, so we bought this.


I signed up for the 1 gigabyte fast, unlimited slow internet connection. The slow connection is 128kbs down and 64kbs up and if this is not an exaggeration (like the claimed Iridium bandwidth) then this will be plenty for what I do.


We would like to save the fast data for videoconferences, and also I want to create user accounts for others on board with access to the slower unlimited data for their personal stuff.


The KVH documentation is horrible and I can't figure out how to do this. I have an ordinary WiFi router connected to the sat system by Ethernet so possibly I could set up the user accounts there.


I can't tell whether the fast and slow data are on different channels or not -- I hope so.


Anyone faced this? I'd be very grateful for any tips.
