Leading Service Provider Will Bring World's Leading Maritime
         VSAT Service to Mariners Throughout South America

MIDDLETOWN, R.I., June 4, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KVH Industries, Inc.
(Nasdaq:KVHI), the world's leading maritime VSAT provider, will offer
its mini-VSAT Broadband(SM) service and TracPhone(R) satellite
communications terminals to maritime customers throughout South America
through Tesacom, South America's leading mobile satellite service
provider. The new relationship will be managed by Andesat S.A., a
leading communications provider in the Andean region. Tesacom will
offer KVH's mini-VSAT Broadband solution from its offices in Argentina,
Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Panamá and Peru to offshore commercial
fishermen and oil and gas operators, as well as inland waterway vessels
working on the Paraná River. "KVH's mini-VSAT Broadband service
will allow us to offer an attractive and affordable broadband service
to meet the growing connectivity needs of our diverse maritime customer
base," explains Jose Antonio Sanchez Elia, CEO at Tesacom. "With the
mini-VSAT Broadband service, we will be able to provide a proven
solution with small antennas, fast data rates, and global coverage that
will work well for both large and small vessels, completing our broad
offering of solutions."

Tesacom will offer KVH's TracPhone V-series onboard terminals and
mini-VSAT Broadband service to their customers. Tesacom is South
America's leading provider of remote telecommunications solutions,
offering the MSS services of Inmarsat, Globalstar, and Iridium for more
than 10 years with an extensive network of offices that reaches
mariners throughout South America.

"KVH is very well positioned to support the key maritime industries in
South America, and we're happy to collaborate with a leading service
provider like Tesacom to bring mini-VSAT Broadband to these mariners,"
explains Brent C. Bruun, KVH's senior vice president of global sales
and business development. "Our mini-VSAT Broadband service is well
supported with earth stations in Brazil and Chile, and we offer the
broadest coverage of any maritime VSAT provider for coastal South
American waters and into the southern Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
We're excited to work with Tesacom to bring the mini-VSAT Broadband
service to maritime customers throughout the region."

The mini-VSAT Broadband service is unique in that it uses ArcLight(R)
spread spectrum technology developed by KVH's satellite technology
partner, ViaSat (Nasdaq:VSAT). The spread spectrum technology enables
use of antennas as small as 37 cm for the Ku-band service and as small
as 1 meter for the combined C/Ku-band coverage. Although significantly
smaller, these antennas match the coverage and speed of much larger
maritime VSAT antennas using older services based on time division
multiple access (TDMA) technology. With onboard equipment as small and
affordable as L-band systems, the power of fast, affordable VSAT
service is rapidly becoming the preferred option for large segments of
the maritime market that were formerly limited to expensive legacy
satellite communications services.

Since launching the mini-VSAT Broadband service in late 2007, KVH has
fielded one of the world's broadest Ku-band VSAT networks, using 14
Ku-band satellite transponders to provide a seamless web of
multimegabit coverage. The service will soon cover 95% of the Earth,
including all of the oceans bordering southern South America, with the
addition of coverage from three overlayed, global C-band transponders
and a unique dual-mode TracPhone system that seamlessly switches
between C- and Ku-band frequencies. In most regions, vessels enjoy
redundant coverage to assure robust connectivity.

KVH is the only maritime VSAT provider to manufacture its own fully
integrated onboard terminal and network manager, operate a global
C/Ku-band VSAT network, and provide worldwide 24/7/365 after-sale
support. The ability to control every aspect of its equipment and
network has enabled KVH to field the world's premier global maritime
VSAT network. In March 2012, the marketing research firm Euroconsult
reported KVH leads the maritime VSAT market for number of customers
using its service.
