HAUPPAUGE, NY, January, 31, 2000 - NetSat Express, a provider of satellite-Internet access and subsidiary of Globecomm Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: GCOM), signed an agreement with Cisco Systems recently to deploy the well-known company's hardware equipment for the purpose of building Internet infrastructures in under-developed countries. The agreement supports the worldwide initiative to assist emerging economies build the foundation for global Internet commerce.

"NetSat Express continues to work towards its mission of being the e-business backbone for under-served areas of the world," said NetSat Express CEO Marni Ehrlich. "This agreement, as well as our recent business partnership with IBM, aligns us with two industry leaders and puts us in a strong position in the global business of providing satellite-Internet solutions."

NetSat Express, a provider of satellite-based Internet access services, digital media distribution services, and integrated data, voice and video communications services, entered into the agreement as part of the effort to give their customers, primarily ISPs in under-served regions of the world, the ability to purchase complete connectivity packages from a single source.

Specifically, NetSat Express will deploy the Cisco 7500/7200 Series routers, the 3600 modular access multiservice platform, and the Catalyst 6500 Series switch.

"This agreement will give NetSat Express customers access to Cisco equipment that meets the reliability, serviceability, and flexibility demands of today's most mission-critical networks," said Ian Pennell, director of marketing for Cisco's Managed Services Access Business Unit. "And, aligning with NetSat Express helps Cisco extend its leading-edge Internet-enabling technology into under-developed parts of the world."

This announcement comes on the heels of a recent cooperative agreement NetSat Express made with IBM as part of the company's "e-Business Service Providers" initiative. That agreement incorporates IBM's newest server into its access packages. Now, with Cisco, NetSat Express customers will have the opportunity to utilize other high-end networkable technology that is known in the industry for its exceptional performance.

"Like the IBM agreement, the Cisco business partnership allows us to offer broad-range, value-added services," said Ehrlich. "But, possibly even more important, it brings us one step closer to ensuring that all parts of the world develop an economy supported by e-commerce and become a part of the Internet revolution."
