GlobeTel Announces Update on Stratellite
11/23/2004 8:07:00 AM
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov 23, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GlobeTel Communications Corp. ( GTEL ) today announced that Sanswire Networks, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary, is on track to launch the prototype of the Stratellite being built in California towards the end of January 2005.

The Stratellite will climb to an altitude of between 55,000 and 65,000 feet. Once the airship has achieved its "on station" position, achieved by GPS coordinates, tests will be conducted on voice and data quality and range of transmission. These tests will be on-going for approximately 60 days. The Stratellite will be launched and reclaimed multiple times to test the guidance systems and flight capabilities. Plans are in place to provide a video link from the airship to GTEL's website for shareholders to watch the launch and flight of the Stratellite. Thirty days (30) prior to launch, pictures of the Stratellite being constructed can be found on the company's website at http://www.globetel.net , an announcement will notify the public of the availability of the pictures.

Timothy Huff, CEO of GTEL stated, "This is truly an exciting time for us here at GTEL. We have so many good things happening but the launch of the Stratellite has to top them all. If our tests prove the technology to be as designed, then we will change the landscape of telecommunications and even the world. This would allow, virtually overnight a communications grid to be installed over an area that could provide voice, data, cellular, TV broadcasts, radio, and surveillance for a fraction of the cost of traditional infrastructure."

A Stratellite is similar to a satellite, but is stationed in the stratosphere rather than in orbit. At an altitude of only 13 miles, each Stratellite will have clear line-of-site 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.
