Eagle Broadband, Inc. (AMEX: EAG), a leading provider of broadband,
Internet protocol (IP) and communications technology and services,
announced the deployment of its SatMAX(TM) product by Textron
Systems as part of a Department of Defense program. Textron
purchased Eagle's non-line of sight satellite communications
technology last November, and will use the SatMAX system in a fully
wireless, indoor facility requiring non-line-of-sight satellite
communications and wireless mobility with the Iridium satellite
communication network. The reliable voice and data satellite
communications made possible by SatMAX will provide uninterrupted
communications in a safe, secure environment in order to ensure
mission effectiveness. "We are pleased to be a part of this Textron
Systems' DOD program and are eager to help Textron Systems and
their military customers leverage the Iridium network capabilities
from within a non-line-of site environment," said Dave Micek, Eagle
Broadband President and CEO. "We all look forward to the successful
implementation of the initial system and are confident that it will
prove valuable to Textron Systems' efforts as the program is
expanded." Eagle's exclusive SatMAX non-line-of-sight satellite
communications technology enables military, homeland security,
intelligence community, and other civilian government and
enterprise customers to quickly and easily make reliable, fully
wireless, voice and data communications available from any
non-line-of-site location, including inside buildings or
structures, onboard vehicles, aircraft or ships, from obstructed
areas, etc. With SatMAX, users of the Iridium satellite network can
operate their existing satellite phones and make multiple
concurrent calls within SatMAX-enabled "hotspot" areas from any
location on Earth. The technology enables routine, mission critical
and backup communications that can improve safety and security,
emergency preparedness and response, user productivity, mobility,
problem solving and mission support. For additional SatMAX product
