Industry Leading SeaMobile(TM) Announces Acquisition of European Satellite Provider Geolink



    SeaMobile, Inc., the dominant global provider of at-sea
    communications, connectivity and content services announced today that
    it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Geolink, a pioneer and
    leading provider of satellite-based broadband communications and
    networking services with extensive experience serving the European
    market. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

    During the past year, SeaMobile has quickly become the dominant
    player in at-sea communications services. In May 2006, SeaMobile also
    acquired satellite industry leader Maritime Telecommunications Network
    (MTN). With the acquisition of Geolink, SeaMobile now provides
    broadband satellite, wireless voice and data, internet connectivity,
    television and other services for more than 300 maritime vessels
    throughout the world. Geolink significantly expands and strengthens
    SeaMobile's presence in the European market.

    "Our vision at SeaMobile is to be the world's premiere provider of
    communications services to remote places. The strength of Geolink,
    particularly in Europe, accelerates our goal dramatically," said
    SeaMobile Enterprises Chief Executive Officer, William D. Marks.
    "Geolink is well respected in Europe where there is significant
    opportunity to expand our customer base and the adoption of the many
    services we offer. We continue to change the way people communicate in
    remote locations on land and sea all over the world."

    In addition to providing communications services to cruise ships
    and other maritime vessels throughout Europe, Geolink also has
    developed a suite of niche solutions for land-based wireless
    communications serving individuals, businesses and organizations
    worldwide. Geolink utilizes a partnership with the world's leading
    satellite networks (Inmarsat, Iridium, Eutelsat and Intelsat) and
    selected Land Earth Stations to provide service to more than 150
    countries throughout the world.

    "We are excited about the new and expanded opportunity this
    acquisition presents for Geolink," said Pierre Macquet, Geolink Chief
    Executive Officer. "SeaMobile's depth and expertise, along with our
    ability to combine our product lines into the broadest and best in the
    industry, provides us with tremendous potential to expand our reach
    throughout the world. It also gives us the opportunity to further
    increase the value of our services offered to our existing customers.
    Geolink is thrilled to be a part of SeaMobile."

    Today, SeaMobile provides a host of broadband satellite, wireless
    voice, data, content, and internet communications services in remote
    land locations and at-sea for cruise ships, ferries, yachts, container
    ships and offshore platforms. SeaMobile also provides at-sea services
    that include printed versions of more than 350 daily newspapers, live
    television, access to bank accounts through onboard ATMs and internet
    cafes.
