A Combination of the Fully Licensed Mini-VSAT Broadband
   Service, a New Brazilian Subsidiary, and In-Country Partners
      Position KVH to Support Mariners Throughout the Growing
                     Brazilian Maritime Market

MIDDLETOWN, R.I., April 6, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As part of an
ongoing effort to offer sales, service, and support in key commercial
maritime regions, KVH Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:KVHI) today announced
the creation of a Brazilian subsidiary, KVH South America Comunicacao
Por Satelite Ltda. (aka KVH Brazil). With the fully licensed mini-VSAT
Broadband(SM) service in Brazil, the new entity allows KVH to provide
better local support for its TracPhone(R) satellite communications
systems and mini-VSAT Broadband service as well as the company's
TracVision(R) satellite TV systems.

"Our growing presence in Latin America, and specifically in Brazil, now
allows us to do business locally while simultaneously providing service
to mini-VSAT Broadband subscribers in locations around the globe. In
addition, our Brazilian subsidiary has dramatically expanded our
ability to support the offshore oil and gas industry, including rigs,
supply ships, and other vessels that operate in this critical area of
the Americas," explains Patricio Baez, KVH's vice president for
commercial sales, Americas. "A significant portion of the world's oil
is currently produced in Brazilian waters, and exploration is underway
for newly discovered pre-salt oil fields. The vessels and crews
carrying out this important task must be equipped with reliable,
affordable, and flexible satellite connections at all times. KVH Brazil
and local distributors such as Nexions Corp., Net System
Telecomunicases Ltd., Telnav Telecomunicações Navais, Mar
e Terra, and Radiomar, are committed to serving the Brazilian maritime
market and its unique needs in both the oil and gas and commercial
shipping industries."

KVH's mini-VSAT service has been fully approved by the Brazilian
regulatory agency, Anatel, allowing the mini-VSAT Broadband service to
be used anywhere in Brazil and its surrounding waters. Following
testing in Brazil and approval of the test results by Anatel, KVH also
homologated its TracPhone V7 system, which means it can now be sold and
installed throughout Brazil, a country with very stringent licensing
requirements for satellite communications services. Establishing a
Brazilian subsidiary was a key part of KVH's global mini-VSAT Broadband
licensing initiative, which permits TracPhone V7 owners to use
mini-VSAT Broadband service without concern wherever they travel. This
access covers coastal waters and hundreds of ports around the globe,
including those where unlicensed maritime VSAT services are barred,
which is an important consideration for KVH's commercial customers.

Of particular interest to oil and gas fleets are KVH's mini-VSAT
Broadband service and compatible TracPhone V7 hardware, which were
designed from the ground up to be the first next-generation maritime
satellite communications solution. The global spread spectrum satellite
network, built with ViaSat's patented ArcLight(R) technology, offers
more affordable airtime, voice service and Internet access as fast as
512 Kbps (ship to shore) and 2 Mbps (shore to ship). More than 1,000
TracPhone V7 systems have been shipped in the three years since the
product's introduction, making the mini-VSAT Broadband network the
world's fastest growing maritime VSAT solution. Combined with offices
in Denmark, Singapore, and Norway, KVH Brazil is a key part of KVH's
commitment to supporting mini-VSAT Broadband users throughout the
network's expanding global coverage area.
