Eagle Broadband Showcases Satellite Communications System at GSA International Products and Services Expo

Posted on: Friday, 12 May 2006, 18:02 CDT

Eagle Broadband, Inc (AMEX: EAG), a national provider of broadband, Internet protocol (IP) and communications technology and services, will showcase its SatMAX(TM) indoor/outdoor Iridium-based satellite communications system at the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) International Products and Services Expo in San Antonio from May 15-18. World Communication Center (WCC), a leading provider of global satellite voice and data communications equipment and services, and a reseller of SatMAX(TM), will showcase the product in its booth.

Historically limited by the requirement of satellite phones for line-of-sight access to orbiting satellites, government and military operations now have the ability to access dependable and uninterrupted communication via the SatMAX(TM) system during disaster recovery. Available as both fixed and mobile units, SatMAX(TM) allows more flexibility by enabling multiple users to utilize Iridium-based satellite telephones in both outdoor and indoor settings without losing a signal.

"Difficult conditions often prevent emergency workers and military operatives from using their Iridium satellite phones outdoors," said Sam Romey, president of WCC. "Eagle Broadband's SatMAX(TM) product offers a strong, unique solution to that challenge for WCC's customers."

The GSA International Products and Services Expo takes place this week at the San Antonio Convention Center.
