Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

LEAGUE CITY, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2003--

5-Year Agreement Will Make Lower Cost, Non-Line-of-Sight
Communications Technology Available to Government, Military, Homeland
Security & Emergency Management Customers

Eagle Broadband, Inc. (AMEX:EAG), a leading supplier of broadband
and communications products, services and content, announced today
that General Dynamics Decision Systems, a business unit of General
Dynamics (NYSE:GD), has signed a distribution agreement to sell and
support Eagle's breakthrough Orb'Phone Exchange communications
platform to customers in the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), General
Services Administration (GSA), Defense Information Systems Agency
(DISA), and other U.S. and foreign government agencies.

First of Its Kind, Exclusive Capabilities

As the first and only technology permitting the use of Iridium(R)
satellite service in non-line-of-sight applications, the Orb'Phone
Exchange enables customers to quickly and easily make critical
communications services available to its end users operating in the
most demanding environments. The technology allows connectivity to the
Iridium(R) network to provide worldwide coverage that can greatly
enhance user productivity, mobility, problem solving,
field-to-headquarters collaboration, and emergency backup/response for
a wide range of mission-critical and everyday communications
applications.

Agreement Focused on Meeting Customer Needs

Under the terms of the agreement, General Dynamics will have
distribution rights for Eagle's exclusive Orb'Phone Exchange system to
government and military markets in the United States and the United
Kingdom. The Orb'Phone Exchange platform utilizes the Iridium(R)
satellite network to deliver truly global, satellite-based voice and
data services for multiple concurrent users in non-line-of-sight
environments such as within buildings, in obstructed areas, under
ground, or aboard in-flight aircraft. The product is ideally suited
for areas where voice and data communication service is not
traditionally available and mobility, flexibility, and reliability are
essential.
"The Orb'Phone Exchange has the potential to solve a variety of
communications challenges faced by many of our government and military
customers," said John Weidman, a senior director at General Dynamics
Decision Systems. "We intend to work closely with Eagle Broadband to
provide the widest possible deployment within our markets."
"We are delighted that General Dynamics selected the Orb'Phone
Exchange as its preferred, satellite-based, non-line-of-sight
communications solution," said Dave Weisman, chief executive officer,
Eagle Broadband. "By joining forces with General Dynamics, we can
offer customers a more comprehensive communications solution. We look
forward to working closely with General Dynamics to assist the company
in solving its customers' critical communications challenges."

Wide Range of High Value Applications

Applications and markets for the Orb'Phone Exchange include:

-- Ensuring continuous communications capabilities and position
information for small aircraft and highly mobile teams of
individuals.

-- Battlefield and forward-area communications.

-- Emergency management and first responder interaction under
emergency conditions.

-- In-building and below-deck extension of the suite of
Iridium(R) voice and data capabilities.

-- Multi-site voice and data communications back-up.
