Arrowhead Names New Executive Vice President and General Manager

David Myers to Drive Development of Next Generation Telecom & Networking Services for Government Clientele

FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA - January 7, 2009

Arrowhead Global Solutions, the government services division of CapRock Communications, announced today the addition of David Myers to its senior management team as Executive Vice President and General Manager. Myers' appointment is part of a strategic initiative to accelerate Arrowhead's evolution as a provider of value-added managed services and advanced telecom solutions specifically for the military, intelligence, and civilian government communities. Myers will leverage an industry track record of successfully launching new products and business units to oversee Arrowhead's strategic planning, sales and marketing, product development and engineering functions.

"David possesses a rich background in the satellite, telecom, and IT sectors, having served in both business and technical disciplines. He is well prepared to advance Arrowhead as the government's most trusted provider of innovative communications solutions," said Arrowhead President Tom Eaton. "I am excited to leverage David's proven leadership ability and his prior experience as a former CapRock Communications' executive to strengthen the relationship we began when CapRock acquired Arrowhead in 2007."

In his newly created position, Myers is responsible for the development and market introduction of an entirely new portfolio of products and services designed to meet the emerging requirements of global government missions. Arrowhead's global connectivity solutions will include a variety of remote site equipment packages in fixed, rapid deployment, and mobile configurations. Government clients will also benefit from a single source for all their field services, teleport services and terrestrial interconnects to public, private and government network gateways. The new product portfolio will combine Arrowhead's proven performance in the government arena with CapRock's unique systems integration capabilities and self-owned and operated global network infrastructure.

Prior to joining Arrowhead, Myers served as Senior Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Development for Spacenet Inc., one of the satellite industry's largest service providers for Fortune 1000 enterprises. During his time at Spacenet, Myers was responsible for the development and launch of a number of new lines of business including the highly successful ConnexstarT commercial satellite networking service, the company's first digital voice over satellite service, and more recently the launch of the Spacenet International Services business unit.

During his previous tenure with CapRock, Myers served as Vice President of Marketing & Product Management. In this capacity he helped drive the company's transition from a niche provider to a prominent player and brand leader in satellite communications for the energy, maritime, and government markets. Myers has also held key positions in strategic planning and product development with HP-Compaq and Omron IDM Controls. He holds an MBA in Technology Marketing from Rice University and a Master of Science in Telecommunications from Madison University, as well as undergraduate degrees in business and international relations from Southern Methodist University.
