GlobeTel Communication's wholly owned subsidiary, Sanswire Networks, announced Wednesday that it has finished its planned move from San Bernandino to Palmdale, California, in preparation for the Company's high altitude tests that are planned to be carried out later this year at Edward's Air Force Base in California.

Timothy Huff, CEO of GlobeTel stated, "We are very pleased with the progress that we have made with Sanswire One. We have successfully completed our planned tests in San Bernardino and now we finished our move to Palmdale, which borders the air space at Edwards Air Force Base, in preparation for our high altitude test of the Stratellite."

Sanswire plans to launch the Stratellite from Edwards with help from the US Air Force and NASA later this summer. These continued tests will be focused on the control systems, power systems and high altitude performance criteria.

The new facilities are approximately 80,000 square feet, which is approximately twice as large as our prior facility at San Bernandino.

Sanswire Networks is a wholly owned, privately held, subsidiary of GlobeTel Communications Corporation whose shares are publicly traded under the symbol GTEL.

A Stratellite is a high-altitude airship that when in place in the stratosphere (approximately 65,000 feet) will provide a stationary platform for transmitting various types of wireless communications services currently transmitted from cell towers and satellites. It is not a balloon or a blimp, but a high-altitude airship with a rigid structure.

The Stratellite is similar to a satellite in concept, but is stationed in the stratosphere rather than in orbit. Existing satellites provide easy "download" capabilities, but because of their high altitude are not practical for commercially viable "two-way" high-speed data communication.

The Stratellite will allow subscribers to easily communicate in "both directions" using readily available wireless devices.
