KVH completes its original global network expansion plan -- mini-VSAT
Broadband service is now available in South America for all subscribers

MIDDLETOWN, R.I., Sept. 6, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KVH Industries,
Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI) today announced that mini-VSAT Broadband(SM)
service is now available to mariners in South American waters,
officially completing the original global coverage plan for the
maritime satellite communications network. This milestone is the latest
in a string of network expansions and improvements from KVH and its
partner, ViaSat Inc. (Nasdaq:VSAT), that have made the next-generation,
spread spectrum mini-VSAT Broadband network the world's most popular
and fastest-growing maritime VSAT service.

"This marks the completion of a powerful, affordable alternative to
older, slower, and less-reliable services that were once the only
option for mariners. We set out to offer a dramatically new approach to
maritime SATCOM, which is now a reality that mariners around the globe
can enjoy, thanks to seamless mini-VSAT Broadband service wherever they
travel," says Brent C. Bruun, KVH's senior vice president of global
sales and business development. "We look forward to building on this
development, providing additional convenience and value to mini-VSAT
Broadband subscribers with continued network enhancements, new
value-added options, and even broader regulatory approvals for in-port
use of the network in key regions."

"In addition to completing the global maritime coverage, this expansion
is also another key component of our expanding global network for
aviation. South America is a key and fast expanding market segment for
our Yonder(R) high-speed Internet service, and this new coverage area
addresses increasing demand both locally and from abroad," said Don
Buchman, ViaSat's director of mobile broadband.

In addition to being the world's most popular and fastest growing
maritime VSAT network with 1,500 units fielded, mini-VSAT Broadband
also delivers:


  --  More than 100 terabytes of data per year
  --  More than 1.5 million phone calls
  --  Average network uptime of 99.5%
  --  Worldwide regulatory authority to operate offshore and in-port in more
      than 125 countries around the globe




A managed airtime network solution, mini-VSAT Broadband equips vessels
with the highest data rates available today with downloads as fast as 2
Mbps and uploads as fast as 1 Mbps, as well as Voice over IP (VoIP)
telephone lines with optimized service and prioritization of
applications. The network uses ViaSat ArcLight(R) spread spectrum
technology, a reliable and efficient technology proven in both
commercial and military applications. Multiple airtime plans are
available, including simple metered plans ($0.99 per MB for data and
$0.49 per minute for voice services and packages starting at less than
$50 per month) and fixed monthly and seasonal plans with even lower
data and voice costs. These benefits are available to mariners on any
size vessel, for any application, and even in adverse weather
conditions via the award-winning 24" TracPhone(R) V7 and compact, 14.5"
TracPhone V3 antennas and the integrated ArcLight modem.
