FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 27, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- GlobeTel Communications Corp. (Pink Sheets:GTEM) (the "Company") today announced that pursuant to its invitation to demonstrate a communications package aboard an airship platform at the United States Navy's 2008 Trident Warrior demonstration ("TW08"), it has opted instead to accept a special invitation extended by the Navy to be the sole participant in a Limited Objective Experiment (LOE).
The LOE seeks to demonstrate a 10 kg. (22 lbs.) telecommunications package aboard the SAS-51 at altitudes of up to 2,000 ft. that would have a range of transmission of up to 100 miles. The Company intends to power the communications package utilizing a modest power supply of less than 100 watts. The prior experiment that was envisioned for TW08 would have limited the maximum range of transmission to six miles. The expected time frame for the LOE is during the second half of 2008 and the contemplated location would be within Southern California. The Company will provide additional details regarding date and location either immediately prior to, or after the LOE, depending on certain factors.
Jonathan Leinwand, Chief Executive Officer of GlobeTel Communications, stated, "The Navy's special invitation for a Limited Objective Experiment is a more meaningful venue for the Company and will require our utmost attention. Therefore, we will prepare for the LOE for next summer, and defer our participation in Trident Warrior until 2009."
