MIDDLETOWN, R.I., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KVH
Industries, Inc., (NASDAQ:KVHI) announced today that Fleetwood
Enterprises, Inc., one of the largest RV manufacturers in the
United States, will extend their exclusive use of KVH's
TracVision(R) mobile satellite TV systems by offering the all-new
12" TracVision SlimLine series of products on a selection of its
2008 motor homes. These systems offer RV owners unmatched benefits,
including the highest signal gain and reception superior even to
competing, larger 15" antennas, outstanding integration with
DIRECTV's standard and high-definition programming, and automatic
satellite switching via the remote control. "We are very pleased to
pair our new TracVision SlimLine systems with Fleetwood's
top-of-the-line coaches. Fleetwood, one of our premier OEM
partners, is recognized throughout the industry for its
high-quality, innovative products. This is a great opportunity for
Fleetwood's discerning consumers to equip their outstanding 2008
coaches with premium satellite TV entertainment," said Ian Palmer,
KVH's executive vice president for satellite sales. Paul Eskritt,
President of Fleetwood's RV Group, added, "The all-new 12"
TracVision SlimLine systems from KVH have been well-received by our
customers and dealers alike. They expect the best from Fleetwood,
and we believe KVH offers some of the highest quality in-motion
satellite TV systems available today." Fleetwood's selection of
TracVision systems mirrors a growing interest in high-definition
mobile satellite TV among RV customers. All four TracVision
SlimLine systems are fully compatible with DIRECTV(R) HD
programming and offer outstanding convenience and easy switching
from HD to standard programming via the remote control thanks to
KVH's new, exclusive HDTV Tri-Sat AutoSwitch(TM). Customer demand
for convenient, easy-to-upgrade access to high-definition
programming led KVH to design this unique piece of hardware, and to
make its entire new line of mobile satellite TV systems for RVs
compatible with it. The HDTV Tri-Sat AutoSwitch is an optional
upgrade for the TracVision R4 SL, R5 SL, and R6 ST, and is included
along with a DIRECTV HDTV receiver with KVH's flagship product, the
R6 DX. The SlimLine series also offers full compatibility with
programming from DISH Network(TM) and ExpressVu. Fleetwood will
offer the following TracVision systems on its 2008 models:
TracVision R6 ST and R6 DX (American Heritage luxury coaches),
TracVision R5 SL (American Tradition and American Eagle luxury
coaches), and the TracVision R4 SL (other selected models, such as
Revolution LE). For additional information about KVH's complete
