GlobeTel Forms Wireless Division; Names Presidents

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 1, 2005/Satnews Daily/ — GlobeTel Communications Corp. (AMEX:GTE) has named Leigh Coleman as president of Sanswire Commercial and Uli Altvater and Leigh Coleman, as co-presidents of its new subsidiary GlobeTel Wireless.

GlobeTel said Coleman will focus on business development, sales and marketing while Altvater will focus on the technical development and the deployment of GlobeTel Wireless Networks.

This strategic initiative will provide for an accelerated program to launch GlobeTel Wireless products and services worldwide utilizing its line of HotZone Wireless products and services.

This new business unit is due to worldwide and unexpected increase in demand for advanced wireless communications technology. With recently announced acquisitions, GlobeTel Wireless has enhanced its delivery channels and expects to add to its already existing networks on several continents.

Coleman and Altvater are responsible for the marketing and deployment of wireless networks globally using the proprietary radio technology which was developed for GlobeTel's High Altitude Airship called a Stratellite. These terrestrial networks are designed and engineered to be linked to the Stratellite high altitude wireless network. Once a Stratellite is operational over a territory that has deployed the HotZone wireless technology, the Stratellite will enhance and enlarge the capabilities of the terrestrial wireless network.

Timothy Huff, CEO of GlobeTel, said the establishment of GlobeTel Wireless was a strategic move to develop other commercial applications for Stratellite. “This is a great example where we continue the rapid development and building of our Stratellite, while using other corporate resources to expand our revenue and bottom line earnings potential through these enhanced business units,” he said.

The newly developed HotZone 4010 Wimax/Wifi wireless base station is able to provide more bandwidth for less money than other wireless devices. This solution gives mobile and wireless internet access, is capable of providing voice, high-speed internet and video applications, commonly known in the Industry as the "triple play".

GlobeTel Wireless, through its partners, has identified 140 cities throughout Germany for deployment of GlobeTel Wireless Networks. The company said over 10,000 subscribers have pre-registered for the GlobeTel wireless service.
