Globecomm Systems Awarded $20.7 Million Contract to Provide Wireless Phone Services to 200 Rural Villages Throughout Alaska

Business Wire, June 4, 2007

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. -- Globecomm Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: GCOM), a global provider of end-to-end value-added satellite-based communications solutions, announced today that the Company has been awarded a contract valued at $20.7 million from General Communication Inc. (Nasdaq: GNCMA), an Alaska-based company providing voice, video and data communication services to residential, commercial and government customers, to provide wireless phone services to 200 rural villages throughout Alaska.

The network will combine Globecomm's SatCell switching solution with UTStarcom's MovingMedia 2000 cellular soft switch platform and Vanu[R] Inc's (www.vanu.com) Anywave[R] Radio Access Network containing the first software-defined base station to be certified by the FCC. This unique wireless infrastructure approach provides GCI with the option to simultaneously operate multiple standards on a single network. This approach eliminates the need for costly hardware duplication when new waveforms are introduced instead of the traditional approach that utilizes specialized hardware that is costly and inflexible.

The system architecture is based on distributed soft switch architecture with local survivability. The key design attribute is that all services will make use of common hardware platforms initially deployed for GSM. Upgrades to CDMA, 3G, Wimax or other broadband capabilities are performed remotely via software, which significantly minimizes operational expenses and additional capital investment as the operator does not need to physically go back to the site while increasing their offered services as technology advances.

This offering is very attractive to rural wireless operators and is a culmination of a detailed multi-year strategy by Globecomm to penetrate the wireless service market through forging relationships with technology leaders such as UTStarcom and Vanu[R], and is the basis for the Company's hosted switch offering leveraging previous investments made by the Company.

David Hershberg, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Globecomm Systems Inc., said "This is a very important program for the Company and represents a milestone in our efforts to be a major player in providing small to medium size cellular systems to remote locations. GSI is a leader in innovative technology and the system to be supplied by Globecomm with our partners UTStarcom and Vanu[R] represents the latest and most innovative approach to provide telephone and roaming services in a difficult environment of many small to medium locales throughout the state of Alaska. This technology is extremely cost effective and provides wireless service capabilities, including roaming, and be a model to be deployed in many parts of the world. The next large market for cellular will be for systems like this and GSI and our partners expect to be major players in its development."
