Eagle Broadband has provided its suitcase-sized, portable SatMAX technology to the U.S. Army enabling their disaster response teams to establish and maintain vital, Iridium satellite-based voice and data communications in any non-line-of-sight environment such as within buildings, command centers or other locations where outdoor use is not possible or practical. The company has also offered to send additional SatMAX units to other federal, state and local civilian government and military agencies as well. The portable SatMAX can be deployed in minutes, easily transported and can operate either on batteries or standard AC power allowing users with existing Iridium handsets to quickly and easily make secure or unsecure calls from virtually any location. Dave Micek, Eagle Broadband President and CEO, commented, "We are committed to helping civilian government and military agencies with their rescue and recovery efforts in any way possible. Eagle's SatMAX technology enables disaster response teams to quickly and easily establish mission critical, satellite-based communications in affected areas where no other means of communications are available. Eagle's employees are devoted to doing everything possible to assist the dedicated relief workers that are responding to the needs of the hurricane survivors."
