Eagle Broadband's SatMAX Satellite Communications System Added to SAIC's GSA Schedule

HOUSTON, Sept. 27/Satnews Daily/ — Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) has received approval from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to add Eagle Broadband, Inc.’s Satellite Media Access Extender (SatMAX) non-line-of-sight satellite communications repeater system to SAIC's GSA Schedule.

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 said being added to SAIC's GSA schedule expands the company’s 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,” he said.

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 SatMAX, users of the Iridium satellite network can 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.
