KVH Solution Will Support Initiative to Share Information
      Between Ship and Shore for Innovative NYK IBIS Project

MIDDLETOWN, R.I., June 28, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Following extensive
onboard tests of maritime communications systems, Tokyo-based Nippon
Yusen Kaisha (NYK Line) is adding the award-winning TracPhone(R) V7
satellite communications system from KVH Industries, Inc.,
(Nasdaq:KVHI) to its containerships. The systems will use KVH's global
mini-VSAT Broadband(SM) service, which is being provided by KVH's
partner, SKY Perfect JSAT, under the OceanBB brand name. NYK's fleet
includes containerships, Pure Car Truck Carriers (PCTCs), dry bulk
carriers, crude oil tankers, and LNG tankers, more than 100 of which
will be equipped with broadband service to support NYK's IBIS
(Innovative Bunker and Idle-time Saving) project with real-time
communications between ships and staff on shore.

"NYK is an industry leader that is constantly innovating and improving
its shipping and logistics operations with the aim of optimizing
safety, economy, and protection of the environment," says Brent C.
Bruun, KVH's senior vice president of global sales and business
development. "Their industry-leading IBIS project, which helps improve
the operation of their ships and reduce CO2 emissions, requires
delivering real-time weather and sea current forecasts to the ship and
automatically sending ship operation data back to shore for ongoing
analysis. The improved connectivity provided by our mini-VSAT Broadband
service will allow for greater information sharing and collaboration
between NYK employees on vessels and shore, increasing both safety and
efficiency. It also provides affordable communications for crew members
to communicate with their families or use the Internet."

With more than 2,000 onboard terminals sold, mini-VSAT Broadband is the
world's fastest growing, most popular maritime VSAT solution. The
network uses ArcLight(R) spread spectrum technology, which was
developed by KVH's partner, ViaSat, Inc. (Nasdaq:VSAT), specifically
for mobile use. ArcLight is unique due to its efficient reuse of
satellite channels, fast speed, low latency, and its ability to support
very small antennas that provide reliable service, even in poor weather
conditions.

KVH manufactures three onboard antennas for the mini-VSAT Broadband
network -- the award-winning 24" diameter TracPhone V7, the compact,
14.5" diameter TracPhone V3, which is the world's smallest maritime
VSAT antenna, and soon, the new dual-mode TracPhone V11, which will
provide coverage of 95% of the Earth thanks to its ability to receive
both C- and Ku-band satellite signals. The mini-VSAT Broadband service
equips vessels with the highest data rates available today with
downloads as fast as 4 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 market for mini-VSAT Broadband is expanding rapidly in the
Asia-Pacific region as leading companies like NYK realize the benefits
of onboard broadband. We expect that many major commercial fleets will
follow this example, and look forward to working with our local
partners to provide outstanding customer support for key solutions such
as NYK's IBIS project," added Mr. Bruun. "KVH's combination of
affordable commercial-grade service, outstanding global support, and
compact hardware offers the perfect solution for diverse fleets like
NYK Line."
