SeaMobile Completes Holmdel Teleport Transaction

Network Hub to Serve as Broadcast Center for Company’s Wave Entertainment Network

Seattle, WA. (September 26, 2007) — SeaMobile Enterprises, a dominant global service provider of at-sea communications, connectivity and content services, announced the acquisition of a teleport facility located in Holmdel, New Jersey from SES AMERICOM. Simultaneous to the transaction, SeaMobile entered into a contract to provide AMERICOM Government Services multiple circuits to facilitate the continued delivery of services to its governmental customers.

The Holmdel teleport was initially established in 1982 and is a 10,000 square foot facility located 46 miles from downtown New York City. At the teleport, the transmission needs of ISPs, television broadcasters, cable programmers, government agencies, carriers, business television and radio users are regularly served. The teleport has access to a variety of spacecraft from 359 degrees East Longitude, as well as the U.S. domestic arc serving the Pacific, Atlantic, and Western Indian Ocean regions for customers requiring access to the world’s largest telecommunication centers. Holmdel is also the only U.S. teleport connecting with IS 1002 at 359 degrees East Longitude.

“Acquiring the Holmdel Teleport is an important step in augmenting SeaMobile’s capabilities and infrastructure,” said Dave Kagan, President & CEO of SeaMobile Inc. “The Holmdel teleport gives SeaMobile full control of our primary point of presence with direct access to major ISPs. It also provides important network redundancy in emergency situations, enables us to better serve customers with 24/7 back up coverage for our NetworkOperationsCenter in Florida, and it is critical infrastructure for our Wave Entertainment Network and suite of television products to be launched later this year.”

In the first quarter of 2007, SeaMobile announced the formation of Wave Entertainment Network to deliver an at-sea or remote location television network that rivals what viewers are used to experiencing at home. Wave Entertainment TV offers a diverse broadcast programming line-up including: satellite TV, pay-per-view movies and events, live sports, special interest, kid-focused, live national news, adult programs, and live special events programming. The network uses a combination of satellite technology – delivered by SeaMobile’s MTN Satellite Services - and special caching technology that allows viewers to experience live events and network programming in time slots they are accustomed to seeing. The HolmdelBroadcastCenter will serve as a technology and customer service hub for the revolutionary at-sea entertainment offering.
