KVH’s Tokyo-based regional office in Japan, which opened in 2012, reflects a growing market in Asia for KVH’s maritime satellite communications solutions. It also allows KVH to provide additional support to leading partners, including satellite operator SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation. Through a satellite-capacity leasing arrangement with SKY Perfect JSAT, KVH has provided mini-VSAT Broadbandsm service coverage in Asia-Pacific waters and in the Indian Ocean since 2009.

Japan’s maritime shipping industry expanded at the start of the 21st century due to improved shipping rates and increased demand for goods throughout Asia. Japan controls one of the highest amounts of deadweight tonnage as a percentage of the world's fleet. Today, Tokyo consistently ranks very high in the list of the world's top 50 container ports, making it a key component of KVH’s global outreach in the entire Southeast Asia region, along with its efforts out of Singapore, the site of KVH’s Asia-Pacific headquarters.
