GlobeTel Wireless has entered into an agreement with LLC Internafta (”Internafta”) of Moscow, Russia, whereby Internafta will pay to GlobeTel Wireless a series of four construction payments totaling US$600 million for the installation of an array of proprietary networks to be installed in Russia’s 30 largest cities, starting with Moscow and St. Petersburg. GlobeTel Wireless will both manage the completed network and will retain an ongoing 50% shareholding in the operations of the network, allowing the Company to enjoy the significant benefits of the recurring revenue stream. GlobeTel plans to roll out the network in 3 stages, comprising 10 cities each, over the next 27 months.

Over the past six months, GlobeTel has had a number of key meetings with officials at various levels of the Russian Government, including senior members of the Russian Parliament (the “Duma”) and various branches of the Russian telecommunications and technology establishment. In early October, following months of preliminary discussions, GlobeTel CEO Timothy Huff - along with GlobeTel Wireless President, Uli Altvater and Sanswire President Bob Jones - demonstrated a working version of the HotZone 4010 equipment that will form the backbone of the new 30-city network. At that demonstration, the HotZone 4010 system successfully provided internet and DECT phone connectivity inside the Duma Building, quickly establishing its capabilities and ease of use. Largely upon the strength of that presentation, GlobeTel immediately entered in substantive negotiations with a group of prominent Russian investors for the implementation of the network which has resulted in today’s agreement.

“It is beyond exciting to be able to bring this level of connectivity to Russia,” said GlobeTel CEO Tim Huff. “Russia will, quickly and at a relatively modest cost, have a wireless infrastructure that will rival any in the industrialized world. This presents an amazing opportunity for us, for Russia and for our Russian partners. The Russian Internet market is severely limited by a lack of infrastructure and by the high cost to individual users of obtaining high speed internet access, even in those relatively rare cases where it is available. The GlobeTel Wireless network will provide city-wide high speed, wireless connectivity with the ability to provide voice-over IP telephony along with residential and business-based DECt service. DECt technology, particularly in conjunction with low-cost VoIP service, is the key to delivering highly affordable wireless telephone and broadband access to areas with limited or high cost service.”

“Completely apart from the obvious economic rewards associated with an investment in this exciting new communications technology, we are most proud of the social, educational and community benefits that we are able to facilitate as part of the dramatic quality-of-life attributes which are rapidly emerging throughout the Russian Federation,” stated Maxim Chernizov, one of the Founding Principals of Internafta. “This initial step with GlobeTel - along with other very significant technology breakthroughs to follow - will prove to be significant for all of us in the relatively near-term,” he continued.

Uli Altvater, President of GlobeTel Wireless stated: “This is a very large undertaking that will utilize the skills or more than 1,000 people in Russia, Europe and the United States. This transaction will catapult GlobeTel to a position as one of the top two suppliers and operators of wireless networks in the world.”

Now that Sleipner SA is a wholly owned subsidiary company of Calypso Wireless, we feel that by working closely together will enable Calypso to deliver the ASNAP(TM) patented technology solution on the Calypso C1250i WiFi-GSM cellular phone, which runs on Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) PXA series application processor and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) WinCE 5.0 operating system, to the mobile operators around the globe,” says Mr. Alfredo Sarrazin, Vice President of Sales of Calypso Wireless, Inc.

“With over 800 million cellular phones to be sold world wide in 2005 (estimated by Frost & Sullivan), we are excited to offer to cellular operators the Calypso Wireless ASNAP(TM) power solution (patented technology U.S. Patent #6,680,923 titled Communication system and method), which covers the seamless roaming of voice, video and data between Wide Area Network access points, such as cellular towers and short-range Internet access points such as WiFi.

About Calypso Wireless, Inc.

Calypso Wireless is the company behind the ASNAP(TM) technology for which it was granted U.S. Patent #6,680,923 titled “Communication system and method” (http://www.uspto.gov search U.S. patent number 6,680,923), which covers the seamless roaming of voice, video and data between Wide Area Network access points, such as cellular towers (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA, WCMDA etc.) and short-range Internet access points (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.).

Calypso’s patented ASNAP(TM) technology will enable cellular phones to automatically detect any available Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and then seamlessly switch between the signals of a standard cellular link tower and an available short-range broadband network (such as cable or DSL with Wi-Fi), accelerating wireless broadband deployment, thereby creating a platform for revenue sharing between the synergistic companies and increased revenues for them by delivering new added services. It could also provide significant savings to Mobile Carriers in additional frequency spectrum and infrastructure equipment by offloading capacity to the Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and IP networks while providing additional sources of revenue. The integration of ASNAP(TM) technology will enable greatly enhanced services such as broadband connectivity, real time two way video conferencing, VoIP and network-based gaming applications via Calypso’s cellular phones, PDA’s (Personal Digital Assistance) or any mobile devise powered with the company’s ASNAP(TM) technology. The patent has also given Calypso the rights to offer license agreements to major mobile and ISP carriers as well as to cellular phone manufacturers and OEM’s. Calypso has also built upon its patented ASNAP(TM) technology to create a new technology that could provide ‘the’ solution that allows satellite radio signals from carriers such as Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio to be readily received by all types of mobile wireless devices, thus generating a new potential revenue stream for both the satellite radio companies and the companies supplying service to mobile phones and devices and the manufacturers and retailers of those devices, as well for the licensing of this technology by Calypso.

Lucent Technologies (NYSE:LU) and Juniper Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:JNPR) today announced that the two companies have upgraded Mexican national telecommunications carrier Protel i-Next’s IP (Internet Protocol) MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) backbone network to better support its carrier-grade voice over IP (VoIP) and IP Centrex service offerings. Protel has deployed Juniper Networks M-series routing platform to enhance network quality and reliability without compromising the performance of existing services.

Protel i-Next offers multi-service data and voice solutions to enterprise customers and carriers throughout Mexico, including: VoIP, IP Centrex services, dedicated Internet access, virtual private networks (VPNs), MPLS VPNs, web hosting, online security services, and local and long distance voice services.

“This upgrade has enabled us to better ensure our quality of service levels and more effectively meet our service level agreements for our customers,” said Benigno Perez Lizaur, president and CEO of Protel i-Next. “Juniper Networks M-series will deliver superior reliability and performance regardless of the services running through our network, enabling us to expand our VoIP and IP Centrex services.”

As part of the project, Lucent is upgrading Protel i-Next’s IP/MPLS backbone with Juniper Networks M-series routing platforms.

“Lucent is pleased to be working with Juniper to help Protel i-Next better serve its customers by leveraging our experience deploying the world’s most reliable networks,” said Gabriel Herbel, sales director from Lucent de Mexico. “Juniper platforms offer exceptional performance and will enable Protel i-Next to expand its offerings with the confidence of having a reliable network.”

Juniper Networks M-series uniquely combines best-in-class IP/MPLS capabilities with unmatched reliability and performance. The M-series allows providers to consolidate multiple networks onto a single IP/MPLS infrastructure, while generating new revenues with leading-edge services such as VoIP. Using the highly scalable, secure, and reliable JUNOS(TM) software, the M-series enables providers to maximize revenue and minimize operational and capital costs.

“When service providers roll out advanced services like VoIP, their existing routers often don’t have the performance needed to deliver these services with quality and reliability,” said Tim Lambie, vice president, Americas International, Juniper Networks. “By upgrading with Juniper’s M-series, Protel was able to assure their VoIP service performs with the quality and reliability their customers expect.”

The yakUnlimited Calling Service will offer robust telephony solutions through IP-based systems technology. The partnership with CommPartners provides a VoIP network infrastructure and enhanced applications that expands Yak WorldCity VoIP’s current coverage area within the United States and Canada and enhances its yakForFree (www.yakforfree.com) service to include Local Number Portability (LNP) and 911 emergency and domestic termination services at a lower price point.

“Our collaboration with CommPartners presents a unique approach for offering VoIP services to the marketplace,” said Charles Zwebner, Chief Executive Officer of Yak Communications. “Instead of spending significant sums of money to duplicate a network infrastructure for the YakUnlimited Calling Service, we are partnering with CommPartners to deliver a VoIP technology solution offering the widest coverage area integrated into Yak’s current VoIP systems. With the support of CommPartners, we will be able to offer additional advancements in the near future. We expect that our relationship with CommPartners will enable us to generate increased loyalty, expand our customer base, and ultimately provide Yak with a higher return on its investment.”

F4W, Inc., a leading developer of Tactical Wireless Solutions for public safety, emergency response and homeland security, announced today the release of the Tactical Wireless Emergency Broadband(TM) (TWEB) Incident Area Command Control Network(TM). These rapid-deploy, self-forming networks can be used by first and supplemental responders to immediately fill communication gaps that result from loss of traditional infrastructure and communications.

The TWEB Incident Area Command Control Network(TM) (IACC) is the next generation of field command and control. The IACC controls a self-forming incident area wireless network that can cover a city block or scale to hundreds of square miles. The incident area network can provide access to vital data, video and VoIP communication within the incident area even if all existing infrastructure has been destroyed. The IACC can establish a broadband satellite connection within 10 minutes of its deployment to create a link to remote data, video and VoIP anywhere in the world.

“The TWEB Incident Area Command Control Network is simple to use, easy to deploy and can provide instant communications for disaster relief in any setting and under the most extreme circumstances,” said Keith Money, COO of F4W, Inc., “combined with our Tactica(TM) communications software, emergency responders now have a set of real-time collaboration tools where once there were no options for communications within devastated areas.”

The IACC’s communications interoperability provides first and supplemental responders the ability to communicate across disciplines and jurisdictions via wireless communications systems, exchanging voice and/or data with one another on demand, in real time, when needed.

Harry Timmons, President of F4W, Inc., said, “Our IACC networks provide highly secure communications interoperability with any communications system, worldwide. Working with the United States Coast Guard in hurricane-ravaged areas of Florida, Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana, our IACC Network succeeded where traditional phone lines, cell phones and public safety radio services were unavailable. F4W is able to provide reliable, wireless broadband voice, video and data networks in remote locations and under extreme circumstances. The networks are deployed in minutes, not days.”

The IACC’s interoperability provides the local TWEB connection with any system or network throughout the world as well as other TWEB IACC Networks. In support of search and rescue missions following Hurricane Katrina where no other communications options were available, IACC Network’s connectivity allowed the U.S. Coast Guard to establish communications between five different TWEB locations in the disaster area and the U.S. Coast Guard Operations Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

The Tactica(TM) Communications Platform software provides users a common set of tools such as text messaging, Voice over IP (VoIP), Video over IP and file transfer designed to enable secure and easy collaboration with team members, associates, customers, and company resources - anytime, anywhere - using virtually any wireless or wired method of communication. Tactica’s design enables it to function either in the absence of a server, or with the Tactica Enterprise Server providing the freedom and flexibility to communicate in virtually any environment.
