KVH Expands Atlantic Ocean Coverage for mini-VSAT Broadband Service

Broader coverage extends beyond the original North Atlantic service area to
provide service into Greenland and northern Europe and as far south as the
horn of Brazil

MIDDLETOWN, R.I., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In a move designed to
expand access to broadband services for commercial and leisure mariners alike,
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI) today announced a significant expansion
of mini-VSAT Broadband(sm) coverage in the Atlantic Ocean. Where service was
previously available only in the North Atlantic shipping lanes between Europe
and North America, the new coverage area brings broadband Internet and voice
service as far north as Greenland and Northern Europe and extends south to
support vessels traveling to the Mediterranean, northwestern Africa, and
approaching the northern coast of Brazil. This new service area is fully
operational now and available to all existing and new mini-VSAT Broadband
service users.

"With a dramatically larger Atlantic service region, the benefits of the
mini-VSAT Broadband network and our TracPhone(R) V7 satellite communication
system are now available to and practical for an even larger number of
commercial maritime operators as well as leisure boaters who need to stay in
touch with office and family," remarked Brent C. Bruun, KVH's vice president
of sales and business development. "At the same time, the addition of expanded
Atlantic coverage moves us another step closer to our goal of making a
seamless global broadband communications service available to mariners who
seek the affordability of a compact VSAT solution."

The mini-VSAT Broadband service, along with the KVH TracPhone V7 antenna,
comprise the first end-to-end 24-inch VSAT system, service, and support
package available for maritime communications. Seven secure earth stations
around the globe, together with seven of the world's most powerful
communications satellites, bring affordable, high-speed Internet connections
and crystal clear voice service to maritime customers through the KVH
mini-VSAT Broadband network. For aeronautical customers, ViaSat, KVH's
collaborator in this network development effort, markets the service under the
Yonder(sm) brand to business and commercial aircraft.
