Eagle Broadband, Inc. (AMEX:EAG), a leading provider of
broadband, Internet Protocol (IP) and communications technology and
services, today announced that World Communication Center (WCC), a
leading provider of global satellite voice and data communications,
will distribute various models of Eagle Broadband's SatMAX product
line, including Eagle's innovative Alpha Emergency Communications
System (ECS).
Eagle's current patented SatMAX (Satellite Media Access Extender)
offering includes three models designed to offer reliable voice and
data communications in any non-line-of-sight environment: fixed
structure (rack mount) and the two portable Alpha products: portable
and the new "SatMAX in a suitcase" ECS. Eagle's SatMAX systems use
Iridium satellite technology and unlike the single-channel WCC HSK,
the system allows each member of the emergency management team to
communicate seamlessly inside and outside buildings via satellite
transmissions without the provision of landlines and cell towers.
"Due to last years' hurricane season, many first responders
realize the urgent need for emergency systems that aren't dependent on
traditional telecommunication connections such as landlines or
cellular systems," said Dave Micek, Eagle Broadband's President and
CEO. "The SatMAX Alpha product solves these problems and allows for
the flexibility to be inside a building while maintaining a satellite
voice connection."
WCC CEO Weldon Knape states, "Both WCC and Eagle share an
unwavering commitment to supporting our global emergency response
community. The new relationship provides a natural fit in that both
companies share pivotal products and services with organizations where
connectivity is crucial, such as organizations requiring disaster
clean-up, security-sensitive environments and back up infrastructures.
Together, with a new upcoming SatMAX product launch to be announced
shortly, emergency personnel will gain an extra flexibility with a
quick, easy-to-implement communication system deployable worldwide."
