Houston TX (SPX) Sep 23, 2004
Eagle Broadband announced Wednesday that Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) has received approval from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to add Eagle's Satellite Media Access Extender (SatMAX) non-line-of-sight satellite communications repeater system to SAIC's GSA Schedule, Contract #GS-35F-4461G.

GSA schedules are purchasing contracts established by the U.S. government that save government agencies time and money by providing a buying vehicle for approved products and services at pre-negotiated prices and terms.

Dave Weisman, Eagle Broadband chairman and CEO, commented, "Being added to SAIC's GSA schedule expands our ability to reach and service U.S. government and military agencies worldwide."

"This can enable us to better meet customers' needs for reliable non-line-of-sight satellite communications with a turnkey SatMAX communications solution and single-source GSA order."

"We look forward to continuing to work closely with SAIC to make the SatMAX available to both new and existing SAIC government, military and homeland security customers around the globe."

Eagle's SatMAX repeater technology enables 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 or underground, etc.

With the SatMAX, users of the Iridium satellite network can now use their existing satellite phones to make multiple concurrent calls within SatMAX-enabled "hotspot" areas from anywhere 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.
