Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Description of Business KVH Industries, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company or KVH) designs, develops, manufactures and markets mobile connectivity products and services for the marine and land markets, and inertial navigation products for both the commercial and defense markets. KVH's reporting segments are as follows: • the mobile connectivity segment and • the inertial navigation segment KVH’s mobile connectivity products enable customers to receive voice and Internet services, and live digital television via satellite services in marine vessels, recreational vehicles, buses and automobiles. KVH sells and leases its mobile connectivity products through an extensive international network of dealers and distributors. KVH also sells and leases products directly to end users. KVH’s mobile connectivity service sales represent primarily sales earned from satellite voice and Internet airtime services. KVH provides, for monthly fixed and usage fees, satellite connectivity services, including broadband Internet, data and VoIP services, to its TracPhone V-series customers. AgilePlans, a mini-VSAT Broadband service offering, is a monthly subscription model providing global connectivity to commercial maritime customers, including hardware, installation, broadband Internet, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), entertainment and training content and global support for a monthly fee with no minimum commitment. KVH offers AgilePlans customers a variety of airtime data plans with varying data speeds and fixed data usage levels with overage charges per megabyte, which is similar to the plans that the Company offers to its other customers. The Company recognizes the monthly subscription fee as service revenue over the service delivery period. The Company retains ownership of the hardware that it provides to AgilePlans customers, who must return the hardware to KVH if they decide to terminate the service. Because KVH does not sell the hardware under AgilePlans, the Company does not recognize any product revenue when the hardware is deployed to an AgilePlans customer. KVH records the cost of the hardware used by AgilePlans customers as revenue-generating assets and depreciates the cost over an estimated useful life of five years. Since the Company is retaining ownership of the hardware, it does not accrue any warranty costs for AgilePlans hardware; however, any maintenance costs on the hardware is expensed in the period these costs are incurred. Mobile connectivity service sales also include the distribution of commercially licensed entertainment, including news, sports, music, and movies to commercial and leisure customers in the maritime, hotel, and retail markets through the KVH Media Group. KVH also earns monthly usage fees from third-party satellite connectivity services, including voice, data and Internet services, provided to its Inmarsat and Iridium customers who choose to activate their subscriptions with KVH. Mobile connectivity service sales also include engineering services provided under development contracts, sales from product repairs, and extended warranty sales. On May 13, 2019, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, KVH Media Group Limited (KMG), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Pelican Holdco Limited, an affiliate of Oakley Capital IV Master SCSp, a UK company (together, Oakley), pursuant to which KMG sold all of the issued share capital of Super Dragon Limited and Videotel Marine Asia Limited (together referred to as Videotel) to Oakley for $89,387 in cash, on a cash-free, debt-free basis, subject to a working capital adjustment. Videotel comprised the Company’s maritime training business, which offered video, animation, eLearning computer-based training and interactive distance learning services to the maritime industry. The sale was completed immediately upon execution of definitive agreements. The Company received payment of the initial purchase price pursuant to a loan agreement (the Bridge Loan) on June 21, 2019. The Bridge Loan was secured by a charge (a type of foreign security interest) over the shares of Super Dragon Limited and Videotel Marine Asia Limited and was further backed by an equity commitment letter from Oakley Capital IV Master SCSp. The Bridge Loan’s interest rate was 5% per year during the period from closing until and including the 15 th business day after the closing and increased to 12% per year during the period after the 15 th business day until the maturity date. In December 2019, we finalized the working capital adjustment which reduced the proceeds from the sale of Videotel to $88,447. The Company does not have any continuing involvement in these operations other than to provide short-term transition services, which are being recorded in other income in continuing operations. The Company determined that the sale met the requirements for reporting as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-20. Please see Note 18 for the discontinued operations disclosures. KVH's inertial navigation products offer precision fiber optic gyro (FOG)-based systems that enable platform and optical stabilization, navigation, pointing and guidance. KVH’s inertial navigation products also include tactical navigation systems that provide uninterrupted access to navigation and pointing information in a variety of military vehicles, including tactical trucks and light armored vehicles. KVH’s inertial navigation products are sold directly to U.S. and foreign governments and government contractors, as well as through an international network of authorized independent sales representatives. In addition, KVH's inertial navigation technology is used in numerous commercial products, such as navigation and positioning systems for various applications including precision mapping, dynamic surveying, autonomous vehicles, train location control and track geometry measurement systems, industrial robotics and optical stabilization. KVH’s inertial navigation service sales include product repairs, engineering services provided under development contracts and extended warranty sales. (b) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of KVH Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All of the operating expenses of the subsidiaries that serve as the Company’s European, Singaporean, Japanese, and Brazilian international distributors are reflected within sales, marketing, and support within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (c) Significant Estimates and Assumptions and Other Significant Non-Recurring Transactions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. The 2020 consolidated financial statements reflect an impairment charge on the KVH Media Group reporting unit within the mobile connectivity segment. See Note 1(k) and Note 9. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its significant estimates, including those related to terminal values and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill and estimated fair values of long-lived assets, including goodwill, amortization methods and periods. Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company sold Videotel. Please see Note 18 for further discussion. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company identified an out-of-period immaterial error related to the implementation and application of ASC 606 with respect to the recognition of revenue associated with sales-type leases. Please see Note 11 for further discussion. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded $10,490 of goodwill and intangible impairment charges mostly driven by the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on the KVH Media Group reporting unit. Please see Note 1(k) and Note 9 for further discussion. (d) Concentration of Credit Risk and Single Source Suppliers Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company is potentially subject to financial instrument concentration of credit risk through its cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities investments. To mitigate these risks the Company maintains cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities with reputable and nationally recognized financial institutions. As of December 31, 2020, $25,141 classified as marketable securities was held by Wells Fargo and substantially all of the cash and cash equivalents were held by Bank of America, N.A. See Note 2 for a description of marketable securities. Trade accounts receivable. Concentrations of risk (see Note 11) with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across several geographic areas. Although the Company does not foresee that credit risk associated with these receivables will deviate from historical experience, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of those individual customers. The Company establishes allowances for potential bad debts and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon historical experience and its expectations for future collectability concerns. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Activity within the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented is as follows: 2020 2019 Beginning balance $ 1,589 $ 2,390 Additions (Subtractions) 333 (189) Deductions (write-offs/recoveries) from reserve (326) (612) Ending balance $ 1,596 $ 1,589 Revenue and operations. Certain components from third parties used in the Company’s products are procured from single sources of supply. The failure of a supplier, including a subcontractor, to deliver on schedule could delay or interrupt the Company’s delivery of products and thereby materially adversely affect the Company’s revenues and operating results. (e) Revenue Recognition In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised products and services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these products and services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps: 1) Identify the contract with a customer A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the products and services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products and services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance, and (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products and services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the customer’s historical payment pattern or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the products and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the product or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the product or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised products and services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised products and services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised products and services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. 3) Determine the transaction price The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring products and services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. 4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct products or services that are substantially the same qualify as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct product or service that forms part of a single performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. 5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation The Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised product or service to a customer. Product sales Revenue from product sales is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs at the Company’s plant or warehouse upon delivery to the carrier for shipment. Revenue related to shipping and handling is recognized when the products are shipped and the associated costs are accrued for based on the Company’s election to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment of the promise to transfer the products and not as a combined promise. For certain inertial navigation product sales, customer acceptance or inspection may be required before control of the goods is transferred to the customer. For those sales, revenue is recognized after notification of customer acceptance and the goods have been delivered to the carrier for shipment. In certain circumstances customers may request a bill-and-hold arrangement. Under these bill-and-hold arrangements, revenue is recognized when the Company has fulfilled all of its performance obligations, the units are segregated for the specific customer only, and the goods are ready for physical transfer to the customer in accordance with their defined contract delivery schedule. The Company’s standard payment terms for product sales are generally Net 30. Under certain limited conditions, the Company, at its sole discretion, provides for the return of goods. No product is accepted for return and no credit is allowed on any returned product unless the Company has granted and confirmed prior written permission by means of appropriate authorization. The Company establishes reserves for potential sales returns, credits, and allowances, and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon historical experience and expectations for the future. Contracts with multiple performance obligations The Company sells products and services through arrangements that in certain instances bundle VSAT equipment, satellite connectivity and other services. For these arrangements, the Company has determined that the performance obligations are not distinct in the context of the contracts with certain customers. The Company recognizes product revenue under these arrangements over the estimated satellite connectivity customer life, which is estimated to be five years based on historical evidence. Satellite connectivity and media content service sales Directly sold and re-sold satellite connectivity service for voice, data and Internet is recognized monthly based primarily on contracted fixed-fee schedules as well as any overages for minutes or megabytes of traffic processed. The Company has evaluated whether it obtains control of the services that are being transferred to the customer in assessing gross revenue reporting as principal verse net revenue reporting as agent for its satellite connectivity service sales and its payments to the applicable service providers. Based on the Company's assessment of the indicators, the Company has determined that gross revenue reporting as a principal is appropriate. The applicable indicators of gross revenue reporting include, but are not limited to, the following: • The Company is the primary obligor in its arrangements with its subscribers. The Company manages all interactions with the subscribers, while satellite connectivity service providers do not interact with the subscribers. In addition, the Company assumes the entire performance risk under its arrangements with the subscribers and in the event of a performance issue, the Company may incur reductions in fees without regard for any recourse that the Company may have with the applicable satellite connective service providers. • The Company has discretion in establishing pricing, as the pricing under its arrangements with the subscribers is negotiated through a contracting process. The Company then separately negotiates the fees with the applicable satellite service providers. • The Company has complete discretion in determining which satellite service providers it will contract with. As a result, the Company has determined that it earns revenue (as a principal) from the delivery of satellite connectivity services to its subscribers and records all satellite connectivity service sales to subscribers as gross sales. All associated regulatory service fees and costs are recorded net in the consolidated financial statements. The Company sells prepaid airtime services in the form of prepaid cards. A liability is established upon purchase equal to the cash paid for the prepaid card. The Company recognizes revenue from the prepaid services upon the use of the prepaid card by the customer. The Company does not offer refunds for unused prepaid services. Prepaid airtime services have not been a significant portion of the Company’s total sales. Media content sales include the Company's distribution of commercially licensed news, sports, movies and music content for commercial and leisure customers in the maritime, hotel, and retail markets. The Company typically recognizes revenue from media content sales ratably over the period of the service contract. The accounting estimates related to the recognition of satellite connectivity and media content service sales require the Company to make assumptions about future billing adjustments for disputes with subscribers as well as unauthorized usage. The Company recognizes the monthly subscription fee as service revenue over the service delivery period. Under AgilePlans, the Company retains ownership of the hardware that it provides to these customers, who must return the hardware to KVH if they decide to terminate the service. Because KVH does not sell the hardware under AgilePlans, the Company does not recognize any product revenue when the hardware is deployed to an AgilePlans customer. Inertial navigation service sales The Company engages in contracts for development, production, and services activities related to standard product modification or enhancement. The Company considers the nature of these contracts and the types of products and services provided when determining the proper accounting for a particular contract. Customer and government-agency contracted engineering service and sales under development contracts are recognized primarily during the periods in which the Company performs the service or development efforts in accordance with the agreement. Services performed under these types of contracts include engineering studies, surveys, building construction, prototype development, and program management. Performance is determined principally by comparing the accumulated labor hours incurred to date with management’s estimate of the total labor hours to complete the contracted work. Incurred labor hours represent work performed, which corresponds with and best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay the Company for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. The Company establishes billing terms at the time project deliverables and milestones are agreed. Unbilled revenue recognized in excess of the amounts invoiced to clients are classified within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as “accounts receivable” as the Company's right to consideration is unconditional. Product service sales Product service sales other than under development contracts are recognized when completed services are delivered to the customer. The Company also sells extended warranty contracts on mobile connectivity and inertial navigation products. Sales under these contracts are recognized ratably over the contract term. Product service sales including extended warranties are not a significant portion of the Company’s total sales. (f) Leases The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. ASC 842 requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases. The original guidance required application of ASC 842 on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to ASC 842 , which included an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date as the date of initial application of transition. The Company elected not to restate comparative periods and, accordingly, the financial results reported for periods prior to January 1, 2019 have not been restated. The new lease accounting standard did not have an impact on the amounts reported in the consolidated statement of operations but resulted in the recording of $10,469 of new right of use (ROU) assets and additional liabilities for operating leases on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. In ASC 842, a lease is defined as follows: “[a] contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration.” Upon adoption, the Company recognized all leases greater than one year in duration on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company made certain assumptions and judgments when applying ASC 842. The Company elected practical expedients available for the transition, such as whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, lease classification for expired or existing leases, and whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. For all asset classes, the Company elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components to which they relate and have accounted for the combined lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Many of our lease agreements contain renewal options which are recognized if it is determined that the Company is reasonably certain to renew the lease at inception or when a triggering event occurs. Some of our lease agreements contain rent escalation clauses, rent holidays, capital improvement funding or other lease concessions. The Company recognizes the minimum rental expense on a straight-line basis based on the fixed components of a lease arrangement and amortize such expense over the term of the lease beginning with the commencement date. Variable lease components that are not fixed at the beginning of the lease are recognized as incurred. Under certain third-party service agreements, the Company controls a specific space or underlying asset used in providing the service by the third-party service provider. These arrangements meet the definition under ASC 842 and therefore are accounted for under ASC 842. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of lease payments is determined using the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. (g) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. See Note 2 for more information on the fair value of the Company’s marketable securities. The carrying amount of the Company’s debt, and capital lease approximates fair value based on currently available quoted rates of similarly structured debt facilities. See Note 5 for more information on the fair value of the Company’s debt and line of credit and Note 17 for the Company's finance lease. (h) Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, cash in excess of operational needs is invested in money market mutual funds, government agency bonds, United States treasuries, municipal bonds, corporate notes, or certificates of deposit. All highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The Company determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at each balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, all of the Company’s marketable securities have been designated as available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company reviews investments in debt securities for other than temporary impairment whenever the fair value of an investment is less than amortized cost and evidence indicates that an investment’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it intends to sell the security, whether it expects to recover the credit loss, and if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, compliance with the Company’s investment policy, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end and forecasted performance of the investee. The Company has reviewed its securities with unrealized losses as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and has concluded that no other-than-temporary impairments exist. (i) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the first-in first-out costing method. The Company adjusts the carrying value of its inventory based on the consideration of excess and obsolete components based on future estimate demand. The Company records inventory charges to costs of product sales. (j) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The principal lives used in determining the depreciation rates of various assets are: buildings and improvements, 5-40 years; leasehold improvements, shorter of original lease term or useful life; machinery, satellite hubs and equipment, 4-10 years; office and computer equipment, 3-7 years; and motor vehicles, 5 years. (k) Goodwill, Intangible Assets and other Long-Lived Assets The Company’s goodwill and intangible assets are associated with the purchase of Virtek Communication (now known as KVH Industries Norway AS) in September 2010 and Headland Media Limited (now known as the KVH Media Group) in May 2013. In accordance with ASC Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment. (ASC 350), the Company performs a goodwill impairment test at least annually based on either an optional qualitative assessment or a quantitative analysis comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value as of the test date. Any impairment charges would be based on the quantitative analysis. Prior to 2020, the Company has not recorded or incurred goodwill impairment charges. For the October 1, 2019 test, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment and concluded that it was more likely than not that the reporting units' fair values exceeded their carrying values. Accordingly, it was not necessary for the Company to perform the quantitative analysis. For the October 1, 2020 test, however, due to the uncertainty that the global pandemic presented during 2020, the Company determined that it should perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill impairment. The Company performed this full quantitative analysis in the fourth quarter of 2020 in conjunction with its annual budgeting and long-term planning cycle. The last full quantitative analysis was completed in 2017. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted various aspects of the Company's operations and it has been monitoring the impact of this global crisis carefully throughout the year. The Company has particularly monitored the operations of KVH Media Group which depends heavily on travel and travel-related industries. The revenues and cash flows of KVH Media Group have been significantly impacted by the global reduction in travel since the start of the pandemic. Prior to the annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2020, based on the Company's quarterly review of the impact of this global crisis on its forecasted revenues and cash flows, there was no indication of impairment to the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets. However, in the fourth quarter of 2020, there were increases in the number of reported COVID-19 cases, and substantial shutdowns were reinstated in the United States, UK and Europe, which caused continued disruptions to the KVH Media Group business as the global travel and related industries remained at historically depressed levels. In response to the impact of the pandemic, particularly with respect to the KVH Media Group business, during the Company's annual b |

Debt and Line of Credit | Debt and Line of Credit Long-term debt consists of the following: December 31, 2020 2019 PPP loan $ 6,927 $ — Total long-term debt 6,927 — Less amounts classified as current 4,992 — Long-term debt, excluding current portion $ 1,935 $ — Paycheck Protection Program Loan In May 2020, the Company received a $6,927 loan (the PPP Loan) from Bank of America, N.A., under the Paycheck Protection Program, which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (as modified by the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act of 2020, the CARES Act) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Company believes it has used the proceeds from the PPP Loan in accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, primarily for payroll costs and to retain workers. The term of the PPP Loan is two years from the funding date of the PPP Loan. The interest rate on the PPP Loan is 1.00%. Under the terms of the PPP Loan, interest accrues from the funding date of the PPP Loan but is deferred until the lender determines the amount of loan forgiveness, but the deferral period will end if the Company fails to apply for loan forgiveness within ten months after the loan forgiveness covered period. Principal and interest on the PPP Loan will be payable in monthly installments in accordance with the repayment letter. If forgiveness is determined, then there is no repayment. The promissory note evidencing the PPP Loan contains various events of default relating to, among other things, insolvency, bankruptcy or the like, payment defaults under the PPP Loan or other loans by the lender, certain defaults under other indebtedness, breach of representations and warranties, the occurrence of a material adverse event, changes in ownership, or breach of other provisions of the promissory note. Upon an event of default, all principal and accrued interest on the PPP Loan and any and all other loans made by the lender to the Company would at the lender’s option become immediately due and payable. The Company agreed that it will not receive any other loan under the Paycheck Protection Program. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, the Company can apply for and may be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan, if and to the extent that the Company satisfies all of the requirements applicable to forgiveness of the PPP Loan. Such forgiveness will be determined in part based on the use of PPP Loan proceeds in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act during the 24-week period after loan origination and the maintenance or achievement of certain employee and compensation levels. The Company has not decided whether to apply for forgiveness and can provide no assurance that any portion of the PPP Loan will be forgiven should it seek forgiveness. Term Note and Line of Credit Effective October 30, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated three-year senior secured credit facility agreement (the 2018 Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders named from time to time as parties thereto (the 2018 Lenders), for an aggregate amount of up to $42,500, including a term loan (2018 Term Loan) of $22,500 and a reducing revolving credit facility (the 2018 Revolver) of up to $20,000 initially and reducing to $15,000 on December 31, 2019, each to be used for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of indebtedness under the Company’s then-outstanding senior credit facility agreement. The Company's obligations under the 2018 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets and the pledge of equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries. On June 27, 2019, the Company used the proceeds of the sale of Videotel to repay in full the then-outstanding balance of $21,375 under the 2018 Term Loan and to repay $13,000 of the then-outstanding balance under the 2018 Revolver. The 2018 Revolver remained at $20,000 through December 31, 2019 and then reduced to $15,000 for the remaining term of the 2018 Credit Agreement. On October 30, 2021, the entire principal balance of any outstanding loans under the 2018 Revolver will be due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and any other amounts due and payable under the 2018 Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2020, no amounts were outstanding under the 2018 Revolver. Borrowings of up to $15,000 under the 2018 Revolver are subject to the satisfaction of various conditions precedent at the time of each borrowing, including the continued accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties and the absence of any default under the 2018 Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2020, the Company is only able to draw on $9,400 of the $15,000 facility due to covenant restrictions. The 2018 Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants, a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio and a minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, each as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio could not exceed 2.50:1.00 through December 31, 2019 and may not exceed 2.00:1.00 after December 31, 2020. The Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.25:1.00. On July 30, 2020, the Company amended the 2018 Credit Agreement to reflect the incurrence of the PPP Loan. Under the amended agreement, the principal and interest on the PPP Loan are not included in the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio or the minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio calculations except as to any portion of the PPP Loan that is not ultimately forgiven. The 2018 Credit Agreement imposes certain other affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation covenants with respect to the payment of taxes and other obligations, compliance with laws, performance of material contracts, creation of liens, incurrence of indebtedness, investments, dispositions, fundamental changes, restricted payments, changes in the nature of the Company’s business, transactions with affiliates, corporate and accounting changes, and sale and leaseback arrangements. Mortgage Loan The Company previously had a mortgage loan (Mortgage Loan) related to its headquarters facility in Middletown, Rhode Island. On April 1, 2019, on the Mortgage Loan’s original termination date, the Company repaid in full the outstanding balance of $2,551. As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, in April 2010 the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements that were intended to hedge its mortgage interest obligations over the term of the Mortgage Loan by fixing the interest rates specified in the Mortgage Loan to 5.91% for half of the principal amount outstanding as of April 1, 2010 and 6.07% for the remaining half. Both interest rate swap agreements were also settled upon repayment of the Mortgage Loan. |

Share-based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders’ Equity The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . Stock-based compensation expense, excluding compensation charges related to our employee stock purchase plan, or the ESPP, was $3,414 and $4,099 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company is authorized to grant stock options, restricted stock awards and other stock-based awards under its Amended and Restated 2016 Equity and Incentive Plan (the 2016 Plan) with respect to up to 4,800 shares of common stock, an increase of 1,800 shares reserved for issuance under the previous 2016 Plan as approved by our shareholders on June 10, 2020. Options have generally been granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and have generally provided for vesting in equal annual amounts over four years beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. No options are exercisable for periods of more than five years after date of grant. Under the 2016 Plan, each share issued under awards other than options and stock appreciation rights will reduce the number of shares reserved for issuance by two shares. Shares issued under options or stock appreciation rights will reduce the shares reserved for issuance on a share-for-share basis. The 2016 Plan and earlier equity compensation plans, pursuant to which an aggregate of 14,215 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance, were all approved by the Company's shareholders. As of December 31, 2020, 1,184 shares were available for future grants. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the equity compensation plans, approves the individuals to whom awards will be granted and determines the number of shares and other terms of each award. Outstanding options under the Company's equity compensation plans at December 31, 2020 expire from November 2021 through August 2025. None of the Company’s outstanding options includes performance-based or market-based vesting conditions as of December 31, 2020. (a) Employee Stock Options The Company has estimated the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected volatility assumption is based on the historical daily price data of the Company’s common stock over a period equivalent to the weighted average expected life of the Company’s options. The expected term of options granted is derived using assumed exercise rates based on historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the actual U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates for bonds matching the expected term of the option as of the option grant date. The dividend yield of zero is based upon the fact that the Company has not historically declared or paid cash dividends, and does not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The per share weighted-average fair values of stock options granted during 2020 and 2019 were $2.88 and $3.09, respectively. The weighted-average assumptions used to value options as of their grant date were as follows: Year Ended 2020 2019 Risk-free interest rate 0.21 % 1.91 % Expected volatility 44.0 % 36.9 % Expected life (in years) 4.29 4.27 Dividend yield 0 % 0 % The changes in outstanding stock options for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: Number of Options Weighted Average Weighted Average Aggregate Intrinsic Outstanding at December 31, 2019 1,624 $ 9.86 Granted 654 $ 8.12 Exercised (110) $ 8.02 Expired, canceled or forfeited (134) $ 12.14 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 2,034 $ 9.25 3.21 $ 4,288 Exercisable at December 31, 2020 611 $ 9.83 2.19 $ 939 Options vested or expected to vest at December 31, 2020 2,034 $ 9.25 3.21 $ 4,288 Number of Options Weighted Average Weighted Average Aggregate Intrinsic Outstanding at December 31, 2018 1,276 $ 10.28 Granted 630 $ 9.48 Exercised (37) $ 7.89 Expired, canceled or forfeited (245) $ 11.35 Outstanding at December 31, 2019 1,624 $ 9.86 3.25 $ 2,325 Exercisable at December 31, 2019 440 $ 10.26 2.07 $ 572 Options vested or expected to vest at December 31, 2019 1,624 $ 9.86 3.25 $ 2,325 The total aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was $269 and $108 in 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, there was $3,446 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.63 years. In 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded compensation charges of $1,401 and $1,076, respectively, related to stock options. Compensation costs for options subject only to service conditions that vest ratably are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. During 2020 and 2019, cash received under stock option plans for exercises was $880 and $286, respectively. (b) Restricted Stock The Company granted 317 and 322 restricted stock awards to employees under the terms of the 2016 Plan or the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (2006 Plan) for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The restricted stock awards have generally provided for vesting annually over four years from the date of grant subject to the recipient remaining an employee through the applicable vesting dates. Compensation expense for restricted stock awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares granted and the quoted market closing price of the Company’s common stock. Such value is recognized as expense over the vesting period of the award, net of forfeitures. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock granted during 2020 and 2019 was $8.19 and $9.67 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, there was $3,851 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.52 years. Compensation costs for awards subject only to service conditions that vest ratably are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Compensation cost for awards initially subject to certain performance conditions are recognized on a ratable basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. In 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded compensation charges of $2,013 and $3,023, respectively, related to restricted stock awards. Restricted stock activity under the 2006 Plan and the 2016 Plan for 2020 is as follows: Number of Weighted- Outstanding at December 31, 2019, unvested 498 $ 9.51 Granted 317 8.19 Vested (252) 9.18 Forfeited (7) 10.00 Outstanding at December 31, 2020, unvested 556 $ 8.90 (c) Employee Stock Purchase Plan Under the Company's Amended and Restated 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), an aggregate of 1,650 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance, of which 847 shares remain available as of December 31, 2020. The ESPP covers all of the Company’s employees. Under the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees can elect to have up to six percent of their pre-tax compensation withheld to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on a semi-annual basis at 85% of the market price on the first or last day of each purchase period, whichever is lower. During 2020 and 2019, shares issued under this plan were 44 and 45 shares, respectively. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of these discounted purchases. The fair value of the 15% discount is recognized as compensation expense over the purchase period. The Company applies a graded vesting approach because the ESPP provides for multiple purchase periods and is, in substance, a series of linked awards. In 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded compensation charges of $48 and $60, respectively, related to the ESPP. During 2020 and 2019, cash received under the ESPP was $336 and $414, respectively. (d) Stock-Based Compensation Expense The following presents stock-based compensation expense, including expense for the ESPP, in the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. 2020 2019 Cost of product sales $ 165 $ 240 Cost of service sales — — Research and development 593 815 Sales, marketing and support 682 867 General and administrative 2,022 2,237 $ 3,462 $ 4,159 (e) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (AOCI) Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss), unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains and losses from available for sale marketable securities and changes in fair value related to interest rate swap derivative instruments, net of tax attributes.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 attributable to loss from operations is presented below. Current Deferred Total Year ended December 31, 2020 Federal $ 240 $ — $ 240 State — — — Foreign 321 (387) (66) $ 561 $ (387) $ 174 Year ended December 31, 2019 Federal $ (196) $ (4,741) $ (4,937) State (28) (29) (57) Foreign 1,143 (152) 991 $ 919 $ (4,922) $ (4,003) Actual income tax expense (benefit) differs from the “expected” income tax expense (benefit) computed by applying the United States Federal statutory income tax rate of 21% for both 2020 and 2019 to loss before tax expense, as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Income tax benefit at Federal statutory income tax rate $ (4,571) $ (4,203) Increase (decrease) in income taxes resulting from: State income tax benefit, net of federal benefit (600) (610) State research and development, investment credits (213) 71 Non-deductible meals & entertainment 22 36 Non-deductible stock compensation expense 19 18 Foreign tax rate differential 235 (4) Federal research and development credits (707) (490) Uncertain tax positions 39 (110) Provision to tax return adjustments 144 21 Change in valuation allowance 3,980 934 Loss on legal entity dissolution — 244 Impairment of goodwill and intangibles 1,834 — Other (8) 90 Income tax expense (benefit) $ 174 $ (4,003) Loss from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) determined by tax jurisdiction, are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 United States $ (11,862) $ (22,452) Foreign (9,904) 2,440 Total $ (21,766) $ (20,012) Deferred tax assets and liabilities for the periods presented consisted of the following: December 31, 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Accounts receivable, due to allowance for doubtful accounts $ 221 $ 373 Inventories 1,209 776 Operating loss carry-forwards 2,744 1,343 Stock-based compensation expense 874 807 Property and equipment, due to difference in depreciation 841 47 Research and development tax credit carry-forwards 5,640 5,243 Foreign tax credit carry-forwards 2,345 2,345 State tax credit carry-forwards 3,838 3,146 Capitalized research and development 3,154 3,263 Warranty reserve 429 523 Accrued expenses 1,216 845 Lease liability 1,574 1,378 Gross deferred tax assets 24,085 20,089 Less valuation allowance (22,432) (18,452) Total deferred tax assets 1,653 1,637 Deferred tax liabilities: Purchased intangible assets (384) (844) Property and equipment, due to differences in depreciation (50) (132) Right of use asset (1,564) (1,378) Total deferred tax liabilities (1,998) (2,354) Net deferred tax liability $ (345) $ (717) Deferred income tax asset $ 73 $ 45 Deferred income tax liability $ (418) $ (762) As of December 31, 2020 the Company has federal and state tax loss carryforwards of approximately $9,180 and $12,317, respectively. The federal loss carryforward has no expiration date. The state losses expire through the year 2040. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had federal research and development tax credit carry-forwards in the amount of $5,631 and other general business credits of $9 that expire in years 2028 through 2040. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had foreign tax credit carry-forwards in the amount of $2,345 that expire in years 2026 through 2027. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had state research and development tax credit carry-forwards in the amount of $4,772 that expire in years 2021 through 2027. The Company also had other state tax credit carry-forwards of $86 available to reduce future state tax expense that expire in years 2021 through 2027. The Company’s ability to utilize these net operating loss carry-forwards and tax credit carry-forwards may be limited in the future if the Company experiences an ownership change pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. An ownership change occurs when the ownership percentages of 5% or greater stockholders change by more than 50% over a three-year period. In assessing the realizability of its net deferred tax assets, the Company considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2020, the Company concluded that a net increase of $3,980 of the valuation allowance was appropriate. The change was the result of an increase in domestic tax credit and net operating loss balances offset by a decrease attributed to the derecognition of foreign net operating losses. As part of the Company’s analysis, the Company evaluated, among other factors, its recent history of generating tax losses and its near-term forecasts of future taxable income or losses. As of December 31, 2020, unremitted foreign earnings, which were not significant, have been retained by the Company's foreign subsidiaries for indefinite reinvestment. Upon repatriation of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company could be subject to state tax and withholding taxes payable to various foreign countries. The Company establishes reserves for uncertain tax positions based on management’s assessment of exposure associated with tax deductions, permanent tax differences, and tax credits. The tax reserves are analyzed periodically and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustment to the reserve. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The aggregate changes in the total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1 $ 1,897 $ 494 Gross (decrease) increase in unrecognized tax benefits - prior year tax positions (105) 1,524 Gross increase in unrecognized tax benefits - current year tax positions — 78 Lapse of statute of limitations (21) (199) Unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31 $ 1,771 $ 1,897 All unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, if recognized, would result in a reduction of the Company's effective tax rate. The Company recorded interest and penalties of $61 and $11 in its consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Total accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions taken on our tax returns and included in non-current income taxes payable was approximately $208 and $147 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The timing of any resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain, as are the amounts and timing of any settlement payment. These events could cause fluctuations in the balance sheet classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities. The Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020 may decrease approximately $25 in the next twelve months as a result of a lapse of statutes of limitation and settlements with taxing authorities. The Company’s tax jurisdictions include the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Cyprus, Norway, Brazil, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and India. In general, the statute of limitations with respect to the Company's United States federal income taxes has expired for years prior to 2017, and the relevant state and foreign statutes vary. However, preceding years remain open to examination by United States federal and state and foreign taxing authorities to the extent of future utilization of net operating losses and research and development tax credits generated in each preceding year. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Intangible assets arose from an acquisition made prior to 2013 and the acquisition of KVH Media Group (acquired as Headland Media Limited) in May 2013. Intangibles arising from the acquisition made prior to 2013 were amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 7 years. Intangibles arising from the acquisition of KVH Media Group are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of: (i) 10 years for acquired subscriber relationships and (ii) 15 years for distribution rights. Due to the impairment of distribution rights during the Company's 2020 annual impairment test, the estimated useful life of distribution rights was reduced to 1 year. The intangibles arising from the KVH Media Group were recorded in pounds sterling and fluctuations in exchange rates cause these amounts to increase or decrease from time to time. In January 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of certain subscriber relationships from a third party. This acquisition did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805)-Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which the Company adopted on October 1, 2016. The Company ascribed $100 of the initial purchase price to the acquired subscriber relationships definite-lived intangible assets with an initial estimated useful life of 10 years. Under the asset purchase agreement, the purchase price includes a component of contingent consideration under which the Company is required to pay a percentage of recurring revenues received from the acquired subscriber relationships through 2026 up to a maximum annual payment of $114. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the intangible assets acquired in the asset acquisition was $346. As the acquisition did not represent a business combination, the contingent consideration arrangement is recognized only when the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable. The amounts payable under the contingent consideration arrangement, if any, will be included in the measurement of the cost of the acquired subscriber relationships. An additional $75 and $94 of consideration was earned under the contingent consideration arrangement during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Acquired intangible assets are subject to amortization. The following table summarizes other intangible assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively: Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Value December 31, 2020 Subscriber relationships $ 7,977 $ 5,958 $ 2,019 Distribution rights 311 76 235 Internally developed software 446 446 — Proprietary content 153 153 — Intellectual property 2,284 2,284 — $ 11,171 $ 8,917 $ 2,254 December 31, 2019 Subscriber relationships $ 7,860 $ 5,231 $ 2,629 Distribution rights 4,313 1,999 2,314 Internally developed software 446 446 — Proprietary content 153 153 — Intellectual property 2,284 2,284 — $ 15,056 $ 10,113 $ 4,943 Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $1,004 and $980 for years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and was categorized as general and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2020, the total weighted average remaining useful lives of the definite-lived intangible assets was 2.0 years and the weighted average remaining useful lives by the definite-lived intangible asset category are as follows: Intangible Asset Weighted Average Remaining Useful Life in Years Subscriber relationships 2.5 Distribution rights 0.8 Estimated future amortization expense for intangible assets recorded by the Company at December 31, 2020 is as follows: Years ending December 31, Amortization 2021 $ 1,011 2022 776 2023 308 2024 49 2025 49 Thereafter 61 Total amortization expense $ 2,254 The changes in the carrying amount of intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2020 is as follows: 2020 Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 4,943 Amortization expense (1,004) Intangibles assets acquired in asset acquisition 75 Impairment of distribution rights (1,758) Foreign currency translation adjustment (2) Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 2,254 Goodwill is recorded when the consideration for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. All of the Company's goodwill as of December 31, 2020 relates to its mobile connectivity reportable segment. None of the Company's goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2020 is as follows: Goodwill Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 15,408 Impairment of KVH Media Group (8,732) Foreign currency translation adjustment (84) Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 6,592 |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
401(k) Plan | 401(k) PlanThe Company has a 401(k) Plan (the Plan) for all eligible employees. Participants may defer a portion of their pre-tax or post-tax earnings subject to limits determined by the Internal Revenue Service. Participants age 50 or older may be eligible to make additional contributions. As of December 31, 2020, the Company matches contributions by the Plan participants up to 6%. The Company’s contributions vest over a five-year period from the date of hire. During a five and half month period in 2020, as a result of the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company paused matching contributions. The Company matching contributions were $561 and $822 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, the Company may make additional contributions to the Plan at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. There were no discretionary contributions in 2020 and 2019. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) | Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised products and services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these products and services Out-of-Period Error During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company identified an out-of-period immaterial error related to the implementation and application of ASC 606 with respect to the recognition of revenue associated with sales-type leases, which impacted our September 30, 2019 consolidated interim financial statements. In general, the error was an incorrect deferral of product revenue and associated expenses for sales-type leases rather than to recognize those items upon shipment. The balance sheet impact of correcting January 1, 2019 sales-type leases in effect as of January 1, 2018 was a reduction in accumulated deficit of $1,680, comprised of a reduction in current contract assets of $2,132, non-current contract assets of $3,110, current contract liabilities of $2,970, non-current contract liabilities of $4,018 and non-current deferred income tax asset of $66. The correction recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019 had the effect of increasing net loss by $250, comprised primarily of a $1,350 increase in product sales, a $1,591 increase in costs of product sales, and a $15 increase in sales, marketing and support expenses. There was no impact to the statement of operations for December 31, 2020. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table summarizes net sales from contracts with customers for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: Year Ended 2020 2019 Mobile connectivity product, transferred at point in time $ 25,140 $ 26,419 Mobile connectivity product, transferred over time (1) 2,723 5,204 Mobile connectivity service 91,590 90,392 Inertial navigation product 36,756 30,302 Inertial navigation service 2,524 5,576 Total net sales $ 158,733 $ 157,893 (1) Reflects the correction discussed above. Revenue recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the fiscal year was approximately $2,586 and $2,736, respectively. For mobile connectivity product sales, the delivery of the Company’s performance obligations are generally transferred to the customer, and therefore associated revenue is generated, at a point in time, with the exception of certain mini-VSAT contracts which are transferred to customers over time. For mobile connectivity service sales, the delivery of the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to the customer over time, and therefore associated revenue is recognized over time. For inertial navigation product sales, the delivery of the Company’s performance obligations are generally transferred to the customer, and therefore associated revenue is generated, at a point in time. For inertial navigation service sales, the Company's performance obligations are generally transferred to customers over time, and therefore associated revenue is recognized over time Business and Credit Concentrations Concentrations of risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across several geographic areas. Although the Company does not foresee that credit risk associated with these receivables will deviate from historical experience, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of those individual customers. The Company establishes allowances for potential bad debts and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon historical experience and its expectations for future collectability concerns. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company had no customers that accounted for 10% or more of its consolidated net sales for the years ended December 31, 2020 or 2019 or accounts receivables as of December 31, 2020 or 2019. Certain components from third parties used in the Company’s products are procured from single sources of supply. The failure of a supplier, including a subcontractor, to deliver on schedule could delay or interrupt the Company’s delivery of products and thereby materially adversely affect the Company’s revenues and operating results. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Company's reportable segments are mobile connectivity and inertial navigation. The financial results of each segment are based on revenues from external customers, cost of revenue and operating expenses that are directly attributable to the segment and an allocation of costs from shared functions. These shared functions include, but are not limited to, facilities, human resources, information technology, and engineering. Allocations are made based on management’s judgment of the most relevant factors, such as head count, number of customer sites, or other operational data that contribute to the shared costs. Certain corporate-level costs have not been allocated as they are not directly attributable to either segment. These costs primarily consist of broad corporate functions, including executive, legal, finance, and costs associated with corporate actions. Segment-level asset information has not been provided as such information is not reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker for purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources. There are no significant inter-segment sales or transactions. As discussed in Note 1, the Company’s Videotel business, which had previously been included in the mobile connectivity segment, has been classified as discontinued operations and therefore excluded from the segment information below. The Company's performance is impacted by the levels of activity in the marine and land mobile markets and defense sectors, among others. Performance in any particular period could be impacted by the timing of sales to certain large customers. The mobile connectivity segment primarily manufactures and distributes a comprehensive family of mobile satellite antenna products and services that provide access to television, the Internet and voice services while on the move. Product sales within the mobile connectivity segment accounted for approximately 18% and 20% of our consolidated net sales for 2020 and 2019, respectively. Sales of mini-VSAT Broadband airtime service accounted for approximately 51% and 48% of our consolidated net sales for 2020 and 2019, respectively. The inertial navigation segment manufactures and distributes a portfolio of digital compass and fiber optic gyro (FOG)-based systems that address the rigorous requirements of military and commercial customers and provide reliable, easy-to-use and continuously available navigation and pointing data. The principal product categories in this segment include the FOG-based inertial measurement units (IMUs) for precision guidance, FOGs for tactical navigation as well as pointing and stabilization systems, and digital compasses that provide accurate heading information for demanding applications, security, automation and access control equipment and systems. Sales of FOG-based guidance and navigation systems within the inertial navigation segment accounted for approximately 16% of consolidated net sales for both 2020 and 2019. No other single product class accounts for 10% or more of consolidated net sales. The Company operates in a number of major geographic areas, including internationally. Revenues from international locations primarily include Canada, European Union countries, and other European countries, as well as countries in Africa, Asia/Pacific, the Middle East, and India. Revenues are based upon customer location and internationally represented 64% and 54% of consolidated net sales for 2020 and 2019, respectively. No individual foreign country represented 10% or more of the Company's consolidated net sales for 2020 or 2019.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 assets are investments in money market mutual funds and United States treasuries. Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; or observable prices that are based on observable market data, based on directly or indirectly market-corroborated inputs. The Company has no Level 2 assets or liabilities. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, and are developed based on the best information available given the circumstances. The Company has no Level 3 assets. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based the valuation techniques identified in the table below. The valuation techniques are: (a) Market approach—prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The following tables present financial assets and liabilities at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 for which the Company measures fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy: December 31, 2020 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Valuation Assets Money market mutual funds $ 20,142 $ 20,142 $ — $ — (a) United States treasuries 4,999 4,999 — — (a) December 31, 2019 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Valuation Assets Money market mutual funds $ 29,907 $ 29,907 $ — $ — (a) Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheets, which approximates fair value due to their short-term, highly liquid nature. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt obligations. The carrying amount of the Company's operating and financing lease liabilities approximates fair value based on currently available quoted rates of similarly structured borrowings. Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets resulting from business combinations, are measured at fair value using income approach valuation methodologies at the date of acquisition and subsequently re-measured if an impairment exists. There was no impairment of the Company’s non-financial assets noted as of December 31, 2019. During 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $10,490 to goodwill and intangible assets. See Note 1(k) and Note 9 for additional details. The Company does not have any liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. |

General Discussion of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Derivative Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesEffective April 1, 2010, in order to reduce the volatility of cash outflows that arise from changes in interest rates, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements. These interest rate swap agreements were intended to hedge the Company’s mortgage loan related to its headquarters facility in Middletown, Rhode Island by fixing the interest rates specified in the mortgage loan to 5.9% for half of the principal amount outstanding and 6.1% for the remaining half of the principal amount outstanding as of April 1, 2010 until the mortgage loan expired on April 1, 2019. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. For a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (AOCI) to the extent the derivative is effective at offsetting the changes in the cash flows being hedged until the hedged item affects earnings. As the Company made the required principal and interest payments under the mortgage loan and the related interest rate swaps were settled, the Company reclassified the amounts recorded in AOCI related to the changes in the fair value of the settled interest rate swaps to earnings. To the extent there was any hedge ineffectiveness, changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion were immediately recognized in earnings in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The interest rate swap was recorded within accrued other liabilities on the balance sheet. The critical terms of the interest rate swaps were designed to mirror the terms of the Company’s mortgage loans. The Company designated these derivatives as cash flow hedges of the variability of the LIBOR-based interest payments on principal over a nine-year period, which ended on April 1, 2019. On April 1, 2019, the two interest rate swaps matured and the Company made its final payment for its mortgage loan thereafter. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of KVH Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All of the operating expenses of the subsidiaries that serve as the Company’s European, Singaporean, Japanese, and Brazilian international distributors are reflected within sales, marketing, and support within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Significant Estimates and Assumptions and Other Significant Non-Recurring Transactions | Significant Estimates and Assumptions and Other Significant Non-Recurring Transactions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. The 2020 consolidated financial statements reflect an impairment charge on the KVH Media Group reporting unit within the mobile connectivity segment. See Note 1(k) and Note 9. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its significant estimates, including those related to terminal values and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill and estimated fair values of long-lived assets, including goodwill, amortization methods and periods. Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company sold Videotel. Please see Note 18 for further discussion. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company identified an out-of-period immaterial error related to the implementation and application of ASC 606 with respect to the recognition of revenue associated with sales-type leases. Please see Note 11 for further discussion. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded $10,490 of goodwill and intangible impairment charges mostly driven by the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on the KVH Media Group reporting unit. Please see Note 1(k) and Note 9 for further discussion. |

As of December 31, 2020, $25,141 classified as marketable securities was held by Wells Fargo and substantially all of the cash and cash equivalents were held by Bank of America, N.A. See Note 2 for a description of marketable securities. Trade accounts receivable. Concentrations of risk (see Note 11) with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across several geographic areas. Although the Company does not foresee that credit risk associated with these receivables will deviate from historical experience, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of those individual customers. The Company establishes allowances for potential bad debts and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon historical experience and its expectations for future collectability concerns. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Activity within the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented is as follows: 2020 2019 Beginning balance $ 1,589 $ 2,390 Additions (Subtractions) 333 (189) Deductions (write-offs/recoveries) from reserve (326) (612) Ending balance $ 1,596 $ 1,589 Revenue and operations. Certain components from third parties used in the Company’s products are procured from single sources of supply. The failure of a supplier, including a subcontractor, to deliver on schedule could delay or interrupt the Company’s delivery of products and thereby materially adversely affect the Company’s revenues and operating results. |
Revenue Recognition / Shipping and Handling Costs | Revenue Recognition In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised products and services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these products and services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps: 1) Identify the contract with a customer A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the products and services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products and services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance, and (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products and services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the customer’s historical payment pattern or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the products and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the product or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the product or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised products and services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised products and services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised products and services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. 3) Determine the transaction price The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring products and services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. 4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct products or services that are substantially the same qualify as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct product or service that forms part of a single performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. 5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation The Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised product or service to a customer. Product sales Revenue from product sales is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs at the Company’s plant or warehouse upon delivery to the carrier for shipment. Revenue related to shipping and handling is recognized when the products are shipped and the associated costs are accrued for based on the Company’s election to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment of the promise to transfer the products and not as a combined promise. For certain inertial navigation product sales, customer acceptance or inspection may be required before control of the goods is transferred to the customer. For those sales, revenue is recognized after notification of customer acceptance and the goods have been delivered to the carrier for shipment. In certain circumstances customers may request a bill-and-hold arrangement. Under these bill-and-hold arrangements, revenue is recognized when the Company has fulfilled all of its performance obligations, the units are segregated for the specific customer only, and the goods are ready for physical transfer to the customer in accordance with their defined contract delivery schedule. The Company’s standard payment terms for product sales are generally Net 30. Under certain limited conditions, the Company, at its sole discretion, provides for the return of goods. No product is accepted for return and no credit is allowed on any returned product unless the Company has granted and confirmed prior written permission by means of appropriate authorization. The Company establishes reserves for potential sales returns, credits, and allowances, and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon historical experience and expectations for the future. Contracts with multiple performance obligations The Company sells products and services through arrangements that in certain instances bundle VSAT equipment, satellite connectivity and other services. For these arrangements, the Company has determined that the performance obligations are not distinct in the context of the contracts with certain customers. The Company recognizes product revenue under these arrangements over the estimated satellite connectivity customer life, which is estimated to be five years based on historical evidence. Satellite connectivity and media content service sales Directly sold and re-sold satellite connectivity service for voice, data and Internet is recognized monthly based primarily on contracted fixed-fee schedules as well as any overages for minutes or megabytes of traffic processed. The Company has evaluated whether it obtains control of the services that are being transferred to the customer in assessing gross revenue reporting as principal verse net revenue reporting as agent for its satellite connectivity service sales and its payments to the applicable service providers. Based on the Company's assessment of the indicators, the Company has determined that gross revenue reporting as a principal is appropriate. The applicable indicators of gross revenue reporting include, but are not limited to, the following: • The Company is the primary obligor in its arrangements with its subscribers. The Company manages all interactions with the subscribers, while satellite connectivity service providers do not interact with the subscribers. In addition, the Company assumes the entire performance risk under its arrangements with the subscribers and in the event of a performance issue, the Company may incur reductions in fees without regard for any recourse that the Company may have with the applicable satellite connective service providers. • The Company has discretion in establishing pricing, as the pricing under its arrangements with the subscribers is negotiated through a contracting process. The Company then separately negotiates the fees with the applicable satellite service providers. • The Company has complete discretion in determining which satellite service providers it will contract with. As a result, the Company has determined that it earns revenue (as a principal) from the delivery of satellite connectivity services to its subscribers and records all satellite connectivity service sales to subscribers as gross sales. All associated regulatory service fees and costs are recorded net in the consolidated financial statements. The Company sells prepaid airtime services in the form of prepaid cards. A liability is established upon purchase equal to the cash paid for the prepaid card. The Company recognizes revenue from the prepaid services upon the use of the prepaid card by the customer. The Company does not offer refunds for unused prepaid services. Prepaid airtime services have not been a significant portion of the Company’s total sales. Media content sales include the Company's distribution of commercially licensed news, sports, movies and music content for commercial and leisure customers in the maritime, hotel, and retail markets. The Company typically recognizes revenue from media content sales ratably over the period of the service contract. The accounting estimates related to the recognition of satellite connectivity and media content service sales require the Company to make assumptions about future billing adjustments for disputes with subscribers as well as unauthorized usage. The Company recognizes the monthly subscription fee as service revenue over the service delivery period. Under AgilePlans, the Company retains ownership of the hardware that it provides to these customers, who must return the hardware to KVH if they decide to terminate the service. Because KVH does not sell the hardware under AgilePlans, the Company does not recognize any product revenue when the hardware is deployed to an AgilePlans customer. Inertial navigation service sales The Company engages in contracts for development, production, and services activities related to standard product modification or enhancement. The Company considers the nature of these contracts and the types of products and services provided when determining the proper accounting for a particular contract. Customer and government-agency contracted engineering service and sales under development contracts are recognized primarily during the periods in which the Company performs the service or development efforts in accordance with the agreement. Services performed under these types of contracts include engineering studies, surveys, building construction, prototype development, and program management. Performance is determined principally by comparing the accumulated labor hours incurred to date with management’s estimate of the total labor hours to complete the contracted work. Incurred labor hours represent work performed, which corresponds with and best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay the Company for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. The Company establishes billing terms at the time project deliverables and milestones are agreed. Unbilled revenue recognized in excess of the amounts invoiced to clients are classified within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as “accounts receivable” as the Company's right to consideration is unconditional. Product service sales Product service sales other than under development contracts are recognized when completed services are delivered to the customer. The Company also sells extended warranty contracts on mobile connectivity and inertial navigation products. Sales under these contracts are recognized ratably over the contract term. Product service sales including extended warranties are not a significant portion of the Company’s total sales. |
Leases | Leases The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. ASC 842 requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases. The original guidance required application of ASC 842 on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to ASC 842 , which included an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date as the date of initial application of transition. The Company elected not to restate comparative periods and, accordingly, the financial results reported for periods prior to January 1, 2019 have not been restated. The new lease accounting standard did not have an impact on the amounts reported in the consolidated statement of operations but resulted in the recording of $10,469 of new right of use (ROU) assets and additional liabilities for operating leases on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. In ASC 842, a lease is defined as follows: “[a] contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration.” Upon adoption, the Company recognized all leases greater than one year in duration on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company made certain assumptions and judgments when applying ASC 842. The Company elected practical expedients available for the transition, such as whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, lease classification for expired or existing leases, and whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. For all asset classes, the Company elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components to which they relate and have accounted for the combined lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Many of our lease agreements contain renewal options which are recognized if it is determined that the Company is reasonably certain to renew the lease at inception or when a triggering event occurs. Some of our lease agreements contain rent escalation clauses, rent holidays, capital improvement funding or other lease concessions. The Company recognizes the minimum rental expense on a straight-line basis based on the fixed components of a lease arrangement and amortize such expense over the term of the lease beginning with the commencement date. Variable lease components that are not fixed at the beginning of the lease are recognized as incurred. |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. See Note 2 for more information on the fair value of the Company’s marketable securities. The carrying amount of the Company’s debt, and capital lease approximates fair value based on currently available quoted rates of similarly structured debt facilities. See Note 5 for more information on the fair value of the Company’s debt and line of credit and Note 17 for the Company's finance lease. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities | Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, cash in excess of operational needs is invested in money market mutual funds, government agency bonds, United States treasuries, municipal bonds, corporate notes, or certificates of deposit. All highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The Company determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at each balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, all of the Company’s marketable securities have been designated as available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company reviews investments in debt securities for other than temporary impairment whenever the fair value of an investment is less than amortized cost and evidence indicates that an investment’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it intends to sell the security, whether it expects to recover the credit loss, and if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, compliance with the Company’s investment policy, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end and forecasted performance of the investee. The Company has reviewed its securities with unrealized losses as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and has concluded that no other-than-temporary impairments exist. |
Inventories | InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the first-in first-out costing method. The Company adjusts the carrying value of its inventory based on the consideration of excess and obsolete components based on future estimate demand. The Company records inventory charges to costs of product sales. |
Property and Equipment | Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The principal lives used in determining the depreciation rates of various assets are: buildings and improvements, 5-40 years; leasehold improvements, shorter of original lease term or useful life; machinery, satellite hubs and equipment, 4-10 years; office and computer equipment, 3-7 years; and motor vehicles, 5 years. |
Goodwill, Intangible Assets and other Long-Lived Assets | Goodwill, Intangible Assets and other Long-Lived Assets The Company’s goodwill and intangible assets are associated with the purchase of Virtek Communication (now known as KVH Industries Norway AS) in September 2010 and Headland Media Limited (now known as the KVH Media Group) in May 2013. In accordance with ASC Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment. (ASC 350), the Company performs a goodwill impairment test at least annually based on either an optional qualitative assessment or a quantitative analysis comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value as of the test date. Any impairment charges would be based on the quantitative analysis. Prior to 2020, the Company has not recorded or incurred goodwill impairment charges. For the October 1, 2019 test, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment and concluded that it was more likely than not that the reporting units' fair values exceeded their carrying values. Accordingly, it was not necessary for the Company to perform the quantitative analysis. For the October 1, 2020 test, however, due to the uncertainty that the global pandemic presented during 2020, the Company determined that it should perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill impairment. The Company performed this full quantitative analysis in the fourth quarter of 2020 in conjunction with its annual budgeting and long-term planning cycle. The last full quantitative analysis was completed in 2017. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted various aspects of the Company's operations and it has been monitoring the impact of this global crisis carefully throughout the year. The Company has particularly monitored the operations of KVH Media Group which depends heavily on travel and travel-related industries. The revenues and cash flows of KVH Media Group have been significantly impacted by the global reduction in travel since the start of the pandemic. Prior to the annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2020, based on the Company's quarterly review of the impact of this global crisis on its forecasted revenues and cash flows, there was no indication of impairment to the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets. However, in the fourth quarter of 2020, there were increases in the number of reported COVID-19 cases, and substantial shutdowns were reinstated in the United States, UK and Europe, which caused continued disruptions to the KVH Media Group business as the global travel and related industries remained at historically depressed levels. In response to the impact of the pandemic, particularly with respect to the KVH Media Group business, during the Company's annual budgeting and long-term planning process, the Company conducted detailed discussions with many of its largest customers in the KVH Media Group to validate its assumptions, which indicated further expected delays in recovery, and certain areas of the KVH Media Group business that may not recover completely or at all. Accordingly, in connection with the annual goodwill assessment, the Company updated its long-term revenue and cash flow forecast to reflect these most recent observations, which were used in the annual goodwill test. With the assistance of valuation specialists, the Company utilized an income approach and market approach to estimate the fair value of its reporting units. The Company believes that the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of its reporting units were reasonable. As an additional corroborative test of the reasonableness of those assumptions, the Company completed a reconciliation of its market capitalization and overall enterprise value to the fair value of all of its reporting units as of October 1, 2020. The Company estimated that, as of October 1, 2020, the fair value of the mobile broadband reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 18%; however, the carrying value of the KVH Media Group reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $10,156, which signified that an impairment had occurred and identified a triggering event to review the other long-lived assets for impairment. In accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment – Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (ASC 360), with regard to its long-lived assets, the Company performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis and concluded that the carrying value of the asset group was not recoverable. Accordingly, the Company then performed an analysis to estimate the fair value of the other long-lived assets and recognized an impairment charge of $1,758, against the distribution rights intangible asset, the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group’s other long-lived assets exceeded their estimated fair value, and a reduction in the associated deferred tax liability of $334. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment charge to KVH Media Group’s goodwill in the amount of $8,732, the remaining amount by which the carrying value exceeded its fair value. After recording this impairment, the Company's consolidated balance sheet continues to include $8,846 of goodwill and other intangible assets of which $4,445 relates to KVH Media Group. A negative trend of operating results or material changes to forecasted operating results could result in the requirement for additional interim goodwill impairment tests and the potential of future goodwill impairment charges, which could be material. See Note 9 for further discussion of goodwill and intangible assets. |
Other Non-Current Assets | Other Non-Current AssetsOther non-current assets are primarily comprised of long-term lease receivables, prepaid expenses, and deposits. |
Product Warranty | Product WarrantyThe Company’s products carry standard limited warranties that range from one |
Research and Development | Research and DevelopmentExpenditures for research and development, including customer-funded research and development, are expensed as incurred. |
Advertising Costs | Advertising CostsCosts related to advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $1,285 and $2,290 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is included in sales, marketing, and support expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries located in Denmark and Singapore are maintained using the United States dollar as the functional currency. Exchange rates in effect on the date of the transaction are used to record monetary assets and liabilities. Revenue and other expense elements are recorded at rates that approximate the rates in effect on the transaction dates. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses are recognized within “ Other income, net ” in the accom panying consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a total of net foreign currency exchange losses in its accompanying consolidated statements of operations of $48 and $181, respectively, which is comprised of both realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in numerous foreign jurisdictions. The Company accounts for income taxes following ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If it is not more likely than not that a position will be sustained, no amount of the benefit attributable to the position is recognized. The tax benefit to be recognized of any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon resolution of the contingency. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes interest and penalties within the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 8 for further discussion of income taxes. |
Net Loss per Common Share | Net Loss per Common ShareBasic net loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share incorporates the dilutive effect of common stock equivalent options, warrants and other convertible securities, if any, as determined in accordance with the treasury stock accounting method. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 since there was a net loss from continuing operations, the Company excluded all 1,566 and 1,209 shares, respectively, in outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted shares from its diluted loss per share calculation, as inclusion of these securities would have reduced the net loss per share. |
Contingent Liabilities | Contingent Liabilities The Company estimates the amount of potential exposure it may have with respect to claims, assessments and litigation in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies |
Operating Segments | Operating Segments The Company operates in two segments, the mobile connectivity and inertial navigation segments. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The Company operates in a number of major geographic areas, including internationally. Revenues from international locations, primarily consisting of Canada, European countries, both inside and outside the European Union, as well as Africa, Asia/Pacific, the Middle East, and South America (see Note 12, " Segment Reporting "). |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, or other standard setting bodies. Recently issued standards typically do not require adoption until a future effective date. Prior to their effective date, the Company evaluates the pronouncements to determine the potential effects of adoption on our consolidated financial statements. Standards Implemented ASC Update No. 2018-13 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The update is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2019. The purpose of Update No. 2018-13 is to modify and eliminate some of the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements found in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement . Through the inclusion of this update, FASB aims to facilitate a clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of each entity's financial statements, thus helping to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements. The adoption of Update No. 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. ASC Update No. 2018-15 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The update is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2019. The purpose of Update No. 2018-15 is to provide a new guideline to the accounting of a customer of a cloud computing arrangement hosted by a vendor when the customer incurs costs associated with the implementation, set-up, and other upfront costs. Specifically, customers will follow the same criteria found in an arrangement with a software license when they capitalize the implementation costs. The new guidance also affects the classification of the capitalized implementation costs and related amortization expense found in a company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement, and the update also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The adoption of Update No. 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Standards to be Implemented ASC Update No. 2016-13, ASC Update No. 2018-19, ASC Update No. 2019-04, ASC Update No. 2019-05, ASC Update No. 2019-10 and ASC Update No. 2019-11 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The purpose of Update No. 2016-13 is to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets measured at amortized cost with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information, including forecasted information, to develop credit loss estimates. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses . This update introduced an expected credit loss methodology for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost. The amendment also clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815 , Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825 , Financial Instruments. This update introduced clarifications of the Board’s intent with respect to accrued interest, the transfer between classifications or categories for loans and debt securities, recoveries, reinsurance recoverables, projects of interest rate environments for variable-rate financial instruments, costs to sell when foreclosure is probable, consideration of expected prepayments when determining the effective interest rate, vintage disclosures, and extension and renewal options. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The amendments in the update ease the transition for entities adopting ASC Update 2016-13 and increase the comparability of financial statement information. With the exception of held-to-maturity debt securities, the amendments allow entities to irrevocably elect to apply the fair value option to financial instruments that were previously recorded at amortized cost basis within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost . In November 2019, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this update change some effective dates for certain new accounting standards including those pertaining to Topic 326 discussed above, for certain types of entities. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The update is effective for entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13. The purpose of Update No. 2019-11 is to clarify the scope of the recovery guidance to purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. As a smaller reporting entity, for ASC 815 and ASC 842, the effective dates will be the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for ASC 326, the effective date will be the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of Update Nos. 2016-13, 2018-19, 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10 and 2019-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. ASC Update No. 2019-12 In December 2019, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) . The update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The purpose of Update No. 2019-12 is to remove certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments and simplify the accounting for income taxes in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. It amends the requirements relating to the accounting for "hybrid" tax regimes. Update No. 2019-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. There are no other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that the Company expects would have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. |
