Exclusive Access to InstallerNet's InstallCard Program Enables KVH to Support Automotive Satellite TV Sales and Installation through New Channels, including Catalog and Online Retailers KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with InstallerNet, a division of MobileToys, Inc., to deliver professional installation services nationwide, a move designed to dramatically expand consumer access to and convenient installation of KVH's award-winning TracVision(R) A5 automotive satellite TV system. Drawing on InstallerNet's nationwide network of certified professional installers and patent-pending InstallCard, KVH expects to begin merchandising the TracVision A5 through retail channels that do not typically support consumers' installation needs, such as catalog and online retailers. The InstallCard will establish a standard, bundled installation cost and connect customers purchasing the TracVision A5 through one of these non-installing outlets to the nearest InstallerNet location, making it easy and convenient for consumers to add the TracVision A5 to their vehicles. "The national scope of the InstallerNet program will benefit our customers, our dealers, and KVH greatly," explained Ian Palmer, KVH's executive vice president for satellite sales. "This nationwide program, which already includes many of our existing TracVision A5 dealers, is a significant expansion of our overall installation capacity. It enables us to open new sales channels for our products and promote them to a wider audience of consumers. These customers, many of whom may never have purchased a 12-volt product in the past, will then be able to arrange for a quick, convenient, and pre-paid installation of their TracVision A5 thanks to InstallerNet." KVH's TracVision A5 is a low-profile in-motion satellite TV system designed for passenger vehicles. Using KVH's proprietary hybrid phased-array technology, it is a sleek aftermarket accessory that mounts to the roof rack or directly to the vehicle's roof and brings more than 155 channels of digital DIRECTV(R) satellite TV programming and commercial-free XM Radio music into automobiles. The award-winning TracVision A5 has been available in the aftermarket for more than two years at retail locations around the United States and offers exclusive access to DIRECTV's TOTAL CHOICE(R) MOBILE programming, the only satellite TV package approved for use in automobiles. "While KVH's TracVision A5 clearly has mass appeal, it typically requires the assistance of a certified installer to ensure the best possible installation and help vehicle owners realize maximum value," stated Bill Erdman, vice president of business development for InstallerNet. "As a result of being able to offer professional installation at a standard price, InstallerNet is uniquely positioned to help manufacturers increase retail sales and provide superior customer satisfaction." Installation support through the new InstallCard will begin in March 2006 and focus on KVH's TracVision A5 satellite TV system. KVH dealers will have the option of handling the installation of the TracVision A5 directly or selling the InstallerNet installation as part of the product price. In addition, InstallCard will enable KVH to potentially provide pre-paid, convenient installation service for other products in the future.
