CapRock Expands UK Facilities in Response to Significant Growth in the Region

New Facility Will Support an Advanced Network Operations Center

ABERDEEN - January 10, 2007

CapRock Communications, a leading global provider of satellite communications, recently completed the upgrade of its existing Network Operations Center (NOC) in Aberdeen, Scotland. This expansion will enable the company to further support its mission to provide uncompromising service and support to its growing customer base in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The highly advanced NOC, representing just one part of the newly constructed 1,500 sq. meter facility, will provide enhanced remote monitoring capabilities for its existing customers and will also provide the additional tools and support needed to meet its growing maritime presence.

CapRock's state-of-the-art NOCs located in Houston, Texas, and Aberdeen enable company specialists to monitor, manage and provision customers' networks around the globe 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These centers are interconnected with high-speed fiber optic links, providing each with the ability to remotely monitor and operate the other center as well as the networks and remote sites it monitors. The newly constructed Aberdeen NOC features the latest in network management technology and enables CapRock to provide advanced site monitoring and support.

"As CapRock continues to experience significant growth, we remain committed to the reputation that we have earned over the past 25 years of being the industry leader in uncompromising service," said CapRock's Managing Director, Ian Ford. "With the new facility, customer service will be further enhanced as a result of the improved network visibility provided through the NOC."

CapRock will hold an opening ceremony showcasing its new facility on Friday, Jan. 26, 2007, when tours of the new building and teleport will be conducted. The event will be followed by a Burns' Supper in the evening.
