The First Fully Integrated, Dual Mode Modem for the Iridium
                         Network Announced

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quake Global, Inc.
announces that Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:IRDM) has certified
its Q4000 modem. The Q4000 is the world's first communications device
manufactured by an Iridium partner based on an Iridium chipset. QUAKE'S
Q4000 -- the latest addition to QUAKE's extensive modem portfolio for
asset tracking and remote two-way communications -- is shipping
immediately. It is the first integrated, dual mode Iridium/GSM product
available to the asset tracking market. It offers increased
reliability, product flexibility and economic benefits.

Although it is only the size of a smart phone, the Q4000 includes
multiple powerful features. It is a self-contained, highly configurable
and fully programmable global machine-to-machine (M2M) communicator
that customers can easily integrate into any asset tracking solution.
The Q4000 carries QUAKE's tradition for rugged reliability with
uncompromising performance in the most inhospitable, unforgiving
environments. Whether it's used for applications on land, air or sea,
the Q4000 can cost-effectively communicate from anywhere in the world
in near real-time through the world's furthest-reaching network,
Iridium.

The Q4000 has the ability to determine the optimal transmission method,
whether satellite or terrestrial. It also enables application features
such as remote predictive maintenance, event logging, geo-fencing, DOT
compliance and GPS tracking. QUAKE's simple, dependable, feature rich
API gives users unprecedented flexibility to incorporate tracking and
asset management features in a broad range of applications without
needing extensive programing knowledge. Applications for remote
tracking, monitoring and controlling assets are no longer limited by
technology, but only by imagination.

"QUAKE is the first Iridium partner to integrate Iridium chipset
technology," said David Wigglesworth, Iridium's Vice President of Data
Services. "The resulting Q4000 clearly demonstrates the powerful
combination of two leading companies in the M2M market. Iridium's
communications innovation, combined with QUAKE's leadership in
providing small, cost-effective and durable asset tracking technology,
results in a compelling solution that meets the global requirements of
QUAKE's demanding customers. QUAKE plays an important role in the
Iridium partner ecosystem as a leading manufacturer of M2M modems. The
Iridium-based Q4000 enables the highest performance asset tracking
applications around the world due to this partnership of best in class
technologies."
