Globecomm Systems Thursday announced that the Company has entered into a one-year broad-based voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP") reciprocal services agreement with Afghan Telecom to provide international voice origination and termination.

Under the terms of the agreement, which is renewable on an annual basis, Globecomm will provide toll-quality international voice services utilizing the latest VoIP technology available in the marketplace to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

The Company will terminate calls originating from Afghanistan to anywhere in the world and terminate calls into Afghanistan that originate from certain international carriers.

The services will utilize the telecommunications systems being built by Globecomm under certain portions of the previously announced $32.5 Million in contracts with the Afghan Ministry of Communications ("MOC").

David Hershberg, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Globecomm Systems said, "This agreement showcases the vision of the Globecomm management team to provide a complete infrastructure and service solution for our customers."

"As Internet Protocol takes center stage in the rapid convergence of communications, Globecomm has the proven ability to provide all the ingredients necessary for turnkey satellite-terrestrial based complex communications networks under one roof in a timely effective manner, facilitating speed to market."

"We look forward to working with the MOC to provide robust high quality voice connections both in and out of the country. The MOC has procured multiple state-of-the-art networks capable of broadband Internet connectivity and video conferencing as well as VoIP solutions."

Mr. Hershberg continued, "We are excited to announce this further expansion of our business in Afghanistan, and particularly pleased with this entry into the Afghan service market. Service agreements result in recurring revenue streams and provide less volatility with greater visibility in projecting future financial results."
