Business Wire, June 1, 2005

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. -- Globecomm Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: GCOM), a global provider of end-to-end value-added satellite-based communications solutions, today announced that the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Globecomm Network Services Corporation (GNSC), has been awarded two contracts for network services valued at approximately $1.6 million.

Pursuant to the first contract, GNSC will provide network management services, field installation services and site management services to a major financial institution in the United States (U.S.) for a term of three-years. With the addition of this contract, GNSC will now be managing a total of three major U.S. enterprise customer network contracts.

The second contract is to provide satellite uplink, downlink and teleport services to a major branch of the U.S. government military for a twelve-month term.

David Hershberg, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Globecomm Systems Inc., said, "GNSC is gaining a reputation for providing world class service on a global basis resulting in these types of contract awards. Globecomm has invested significant amounts of capital over the last five years in GNSC as we continue to transform our business model from a pure systems integration model to a service oriented model with a more predictable recurring revenue stream. The service business is significantly different from the Company's traditional system integration business in that once critical revenue mass is achieved to cover the required fixed expenses, incremental revenue results in much greater flow through to the bottom line."
