Eagle Broadband Ships SatMAX® Alpha System for a Classified US Government Program

Business Wire, May 17, 2007

LEAGUE CITY, Texas -- Eagle Broadband, Inc. (OTCBB: EAGB), a leading national provider of IPTV products and services, today announced that the company has shipped another SatMAX Alpha Emergency Communication System for use in a classified U.S. Government program. This marks the sixteenth SatMAX system that Eagle has shipped and the sixth Alpha ECS in the past seven months for government programs.

Typically utilized for its emergency communications capabilities, Eagle's SatMAX technology is also a highly effective tool for testing all types of Iridium-based technology. The Alpha ECS unit, a "SatMAX-in-a-suitcase", is highly portable and permits establishment of an emergency response center in almost any enclosed area. The SatMAX system permits non-line-of-sight use of Iridium satellite phones. Thus, control centers can be in touch with units in the field and in fact make a call to any telephone worldwide.

"With another severe hurricane season forecast, we are finding a lot of interest in our successful SatMAX products, in both the portable Alpha ECS units and the fixed-rack units," said Dave Micek, president and CEO of Eagle Broadband. "This order for a U.S. Government program yet again validates the application of our SatMAX products for military and government organizations worldwide. As many know, these organizations typically require anonymity given the nature of their programs, so we are unable to provide customer details, though we look forward to continued orders."
