Each
footprint map indicates coverage areas based
on EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power),
a value representing the satellite signal
strength in those areas. The higher the number:
the stronger the signal.
With a minimum EIRP of 34 dBW, the TracVision
M9 offers the widest coverage available. The
TracVision M7 and M5 can receive signals with
EIRP levels as low as 46 dBW, while the 45
cm TracVision antennas can receive signals
with EIRP levels of 48 dBW or higher (In limited
areas, these 45 cm systems can be reprogrammed
to receive 50 dBW signals. See your authorized
KVH agent for details).
Many factors besides EIRP affect the ability
of the user to watch TV with a given antenna
size. Please see your authorized KVH agent
for further details.
If you are located within a coverage area
that has an EIRP equal to or greater than
your antenna's rating, you should have no
problem getting crystal-clear reception.
Note: If the satellite you wish to receive
is not already installed in your system's
satellite library, you can install it manually.
Refer to your TracVision user's manual for
details. The coverage maps provided above
are intended as guidelines only and are subject
to change without notice.
