Kashiwabara Token Corporation holds a controlling interest of a major cell phone system in the Hiroshima and Yamaguchi prefectures as well as the ICAN Cable television system in Japan. The Corporation has more than 2,000 employees at 50 locations throughout Japan.

Bob Jones, President of Sanswire, said, "The key to this relationship is that Kashiwabara Token Corporation already has the cellular and cable infrastructure that enables us immediately to deploy our ground-based broadband wireless system that is designed to seamlessly integrate with the Stratellite. The location of Iwakuni City is a perfect starting point for Japan with U.S. Marines stationed at Iwakuni Marine Corp Air Station, who also will benefit from our wireless broadband system."

"I am very excited about the advanced wireless technology that Mr. Bob Jones, President of Sanswire, has brought to our company. GlobeTel Communication Corporation's advanced wireless technology and Stratellite airship will enable us to connect the whole of Japan in the near future. My vision is to connect all of Japan wirelessly and work together as a partner with GlobeTel to connect with the rest of the world," stated Mr. Shinji Kashiwabara, President of Kashiwabara Token Corporation and its subsidiary.

Mr. Uli Altvater, President of GlobeTel Wireless, a subsidiary of GlobeTel Communications Corporation, stated, "I am excited to be able to roll out our new combined WLAN, PHS/DECT infrastructure in Japan. This is the most advanced integrated wireless voice and data solution, and Iwakuni City will be the first city in Japan to benefit from this advanced technology."

Timothy Huff, Chief Executive Officer of GlobeTel, commented that GlobeTel's innovative approach in bringing the right company to the table provides GlobeTel with "a competitive edge" over other companies.

"I am very pleased to work with such a well respected company as Kashiwabara Token Corporation of Japan given the financial backing and infrastructure already in place to deploy our broadband wireless system in the very near future and look forward to a long business relationship," he added. Mr. Bob Jones and Mr. Uli Altvater will work closely with Mr. Kashiwabara of Kashiwabara Token Corporation to deploy GlobeTel Wireless to Japan.

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.
