KVH Named Top IT Hardware Company by Leading Business Publications

Borsen and Computerworld rank KVH the number one hardware manufacturer in
Denmark

MIDDLETOWN, R.I., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KVH Industries, Inc.,
(Nasdaq: KVHI) announced today that its European division recently received
two prestigious rankings from the Danish press. Borsen, the leading daily
business journal in Denmark, ranked KVH Europe A/S the top IT company of 2009
in the hardware category. Similarly, Computerworld, a weekly publication
specializing in information technology, named KVH Europe A/S the number one
firm in production of IT hardware.

"While the leisure marine market remains our largest market, our growth
strategy is to penetrate and expand our presence in the commercial marine
market. Part of this strategy is to move upwards in the value chain," said
Svend Lykke Larsen, managing director of KVH Europe A/S. "It is our goal to
turn large commercial vessels into 'offices' on par with the onshore offices
of the fleet operators by building on the capabilities of our global mini-VSAT
Broadband(sm) satellite communications network and integrated TracPhone®
hardware. In doing so, we make it possible for ship owners and fleet
operators to manage their vessels just like they do with any other department
or division that is part of their corporation."

Borsen has ranked the top 200 IT companies in Denmark annually since 2004 in
seven different categories. KVH Europe A/S was lauded for its proactive
strategy to diversify the business and its ability to effectively combat the
economic crisis through the expansion of their commercial business, achieved
mainly through deployment of the TracPhone V7 satellite communication system
and mini-VSAT Broadband network to commercial fleets. Computerworld released
its list of the top 100 companies in Denmark in four fields, measured across
four parameters. KVH was ranked number one in the hardware category after
evaluation of its efficiency (measured in growth per employee, profit ratio,
growth in turnover, and ROI) based on key figures from the latest annual
accounts.

"We are very pleased to be recognized by these two prestigious publications
for our progress in the commercial market, and for the excellent quality and
service that KVH is known for," said Lykke Larsen. "It is an honor for KVH to
be recognized internationally as a leader in mobile technology."
