Company Signs Agreement for Managed Communications Services

FAIRFAX, Va., July 13, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CapRock Communications
announced today it has signed a contract with Yahsat's wholly owned
subsidiary, Star Satellite Communications Company PrJsc, to provide
custom voice, video and data communications services to clients in the
Middle East and Southwest Asia.

CapRock will provide the design, equipment installation and management
of a private, custom satellite service built on its CommandAccess(TM)
network, which was launched in December 2009 by the company's
government division. As part of the managed service, remote terminals
will be deployed in key areas of operation across the Middle East and
Southwest Asia. The network is expected to grow over the course of the
two-year contract.

"Working together with Yahsat, we are expanding the reach of highly
reliable satellite communications to customers in remote areas of the
Middle East and Southwest Asia who previously had few options," said
CapRock Government Solutions EVP and General Manager, David Myers. "By
leveraging the CommandAccess network, Yahsat's customers will benefit
from field-proven capabilities that are specifically designed to meet
extreme environmental conditions."

"The addition of CapRock's CommandAccess services to YahService, a
business division of Yahsat responsible for the integrated satellite
communication solutions business, will enable us to offer our customers
a unique network solution as well as outstanding service and support.
This is in line with our strategy to work with the right partners to
acquire the latest satellite technologies to deliver complete solutions
to a wide range of clients in enterprise, military and government
sectors. We look forward to working closely with CapRock," said Rashed
Al Ghafri, General Manager of YahService.

CommandAccess is the industry's first commercial satellite subscription
service designed for use in remote areas of operation. The suite of
pre-packaged and customized communications services connects very small
aperture terminals (VSATs) to the Internet, public switched telephone
service, and secure networks. Service is available in several packages
and data rates, each for a flat monthly fee on a per terminal basis.
CapRock currently has customers using CommandAccess in several regions
of the world and across all of its networks, including, Ku, X, and
C-band satellites.
