B: GTEL Unveils Sanswire One

MIAMI, Apr 14, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GlobeTel Communications Corp. (OTCBB:
GTEL), today announced that the unveiling of its high-altitude airship prototype
by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sanswire Networks, LLC, generated a significant
amount of interest and positive feedback from the media and investors.

Over 300 people attended the unveiling of Sanswire One held on April 12, 2005,
including members of the media, personnel from the U.S. Department of Defense,
U.S. and international commercial interests, as well as investors and
shareholders. Among media personnel, there were representatives from The
Associated Press, Reuters, and television crews from the major networks and
cable news channels.

As of April 13, 2005, the unveiling was reported on TV and cable by numerous
national and local news affiliates throughout the country, beginning with Fox
News that broadcasted its coverage on the night of the unveiling. The unveiling
was also covered by the National Public Radio (NPR) and was featured in several
major newspapers including the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.

Timothy M. Huff, CEO of GTEL, commented, "We are very excited about the coverage
Sanswire One has been getting from the media. We have been continually receiving
reports from our shareholders from all over the country about the local coverage
of the unveiling. In my opinion, the media is reporting on the progress of
Sanswire One as they recognize the potential of our airship and the potential of
causing what I always refer to as a paradigm shift in the telecommunications
industry."

Mr. Huff also gave credence to the work of the Sanswire engineering team, headed
by Bob Jones, former NASA Plans and Programs Manager along with several other
NASA and aerospace industry engineers who all left their place of employment to
join Mr. Jones at Sanswire. Mr. Huff stated, "We are extremely pleased with the
progress made by Bob and the rest of the Sanswire team. The team represents over
150 years of NASA and Air Force experience and they truly are a world class team
of experts. Bob left NASA to join us with only few years left from his NASA
retirement. This shows his belief in what we are trying to achieve at Sanswire.
His innovative approach and out-of- the-box thinking is enabling us to
successfully execute the program."

Mr. Jones, who is also President of Sanswire Governmental Services, stated that
the team has made substantial and significant improvements to the Airship
design. Commented Mr. Jones, "being with NASA for 25 years, I will be the first
to state that nothing new and significant is ever built, tested and completed
successfully the first time around. There will be trials and errors, changes and
more improvements that need to be made. However, we have locked down the
engineering and materials so we are confident that we will be able to continue
on a timeline that will be more measurable and attainable."

Mr. Jones reported that after detailed aerodynamic and structural analysis, the
team lengthened Sanswire One's frame to 188 feet from the original design of 90
feet. Eventually, the commercial airships, which were originally designed to be
245 feet, will range from 450 feet to 800 feet depending on payload
requirements. Mr. Jones continued, "In three weeks, we corrected the original
design and built almost 100 additional feet of the space frame. We also moved
from a Dacron covering to a space age Tedlar covering, developed a ground
station communications package, and made advances in composite materials and in
method of lifting gases."

According to Mr. Jones, the FAA has directed Sanswire to conduct the flight test
at the Edwards Air Force Test Range and that the Company is closely working with
the FAA and the Air Force for concession for the Airship to transition from FAA
controlled airspace at Palmdale to Edwards 2508 restricted airspace at Edwards
Air Force Base. This will enable Sanswire to further test the Airship at the Air
Force Flight Test Center and NASA Dryden Flight Research Center. Edwards Air
Force Base has been the location of many historical events in aerospace history,
including landing of the Space Shuttle and record breaking speeds.

Sanswire plans to do tethered test outside of the hanger at its current location
at San Bernardino Airport, California to validate the structural integrity and
to collect needed data. After the test, the airship will be transported to the
Palmdale secured hangar next to Edwards Air force Base. These tests will in no
way delay the process already underway to clear the airship for flight on the
test range at Edwards.

Mr. Jones also commented that clearance of many FAA and governmental processes
are necessary to enable Sanswire One to safely fly at the Air Force Flight Test
Center and NASA Dryden Flight Research Center. Currently, the FAA is working on
a process to allow unmanned aerial vehicles, such as Sanswire One, to safely
operate in the national air space. Also, the Air Force and NASA has their own
flight test and safety approval processes that must be accomplished. These
processes require additional time and resources to satisfy the governmental
agencies. All new aerospace vehicles, even military, must go through these
processes. These processes are in place to protect high value government and
public assets as well as the safety of the general public.

Mr. Huff also stated that "Sanswire is very proud to have built a strong team of
renowned aerospace professionals who are using their broad backgrounds and
technical skills to design and construct the world's first high altitude rigid
Airship. Our team and this overall project are paving the future of
communications.

Mr. Huff continued, "We have the attention of many divisions the Department of
Defense, multiple large commercial interest, many different governments around
the world, the science community, surveillance, border control and many others.
As Bob mentioned, there will be changes and improvements and while we may expect
surprises with Sanswire One as this has never been done before, we will do
everything we could to get this right the first time. We will not rush for the
sake of a timeline."

Mr. Huff concluded, "I will continue to try to keep everyone informed, but I
would also like to point out that any engineering changes and new technology
brought to the program, may affect the timeline but add value to the program. My
team and I are here to build a substantial company and that will take hard work
and time. In my opinion, we are still way ahead of the curve and with the
lockdown of the engineering and materials, together with our team's dedication,
we are well on our way to the successful launch of Sanswire One."
