1/5/2005 9:42:00 AM
MIAMI, Jan 5, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GlobeTel Communications Corp. ( GTEL ) today announced updates and events schedules for the first quarter of 2005 for its wholly owned subsidiary, Sanswire Networks, LLC (Sanswire). Timothy Huff, CEO GlobeTel Communications Corp, stated, "The interest in Sanswire's Stratellite technology is growing by the day. Given the amount of interest on an international scale, we had to expand our schedule to include various groups' timing issues and give everyone the opportunity to preview our revolutionary technology."
Mr. Huff continued, "We have had on-going discussions with several groups within the U.S. government and military concerning the rollout and use of the Stratellite. Further, we are in discussions with the other corporate and private groups, as well as foreign governments, who all have expressed interest in the development and commercial viability of the Stratellite."
The Partners and Technology Summit, previously scheduled for January 20 and 21, 2005, has been moved to February 20 and 21, 2005. Further, as a result of the increased interest and rescheduling of the technology summit, the launch date of the Stratellite prototype has also been rescheduled for March 25, 2005. This move enables the company to accommodate scheduling issues with attendees and to ensure that all issues are fully addressed prior to launch.
The summit is intended for technology partners, military, governmental and commercial interests to have an open dialog with Sanswire's management and engineers. The first of the two-day summit will be for presentations and technology meetings and the second day will include a visual tour of the constructed Stratellite prototype.
For information and invitation to attend the summit, contact Leigh Coleman at lcoleman@globetel.net. The summit is by-invitation only and is not intended for the general public. There will be a separate meeting for existing GTEL shareholders to view the Stratellite prior to launch. The details of that meeting will be released within the next few weeks.
A Stratellite is similar to a satellite, but is stationed in the stratosphere rather than in orbit. At an altitude of 10 to 13 miles above the Earth, each Stratellite will have clear line-of-sight communications capability to an entire major metropolitan area as well as being able to provide coverage across major rural areas. Several Stratellites linked together could cover many hundreds of thousands of square miles. The Stratellite will allow subscribers to easily communicate in "both directions" using readily available wireless devices. In addition to voice and data, proposed telecommunications uses include cellular, 3G/4G mobile, MMDS, paging, fixed wireless telephony, HDTV, real-time surveillance and others.
