Eagle Broadband announced Wednsesday that the company has received notification from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that Patent # 6,996,369 has been awarded to the company and will be issued on or about February 7, 2006, for its SatMAX non-line-of-sight, satellite communications technology.

"We are very pleased to have received this patent for our non-line-of-sight satellite-based communications technology," said Dave Micek, president and CEO of Eagle Broadband.

"Because of the heightened focus on reliable communications for emergency response during natural and man made disasters, the need for satellite-based communications is broadening from its traditional military and corporate applications. Protecting our intellectual property is more important than ever and this patent provides a strong footing for our efforts to expand SatMAX deployments and market applications."

Eagle's exclusive fixed and portable SatMAX non-line-of-sight satellite communications technology enables civilian government, military and enterprise customers to quickly and easily make reliable, fully wireless, voice and data communications available in any non-line-of-sight environment including inside buildings or structures, onboard vehicles, aircraft or ships.

With SatMAX, users of the Iridium satellite network can use their existing satellite phones to make multiple concurrent calls within SatMAX-enabled "hotspot" areas from any location on Earth.

The technology enables routine, mission critical and backup communications that can improve safety and security, emergency preparedness and response, user productivity, mobility, problem solving and mission support.

In its portable configuration, 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 calls from virtually any location.
