Globecomm Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: GCOM), a global provider of end-to-end value-added satellite-based communications solutions, announced today that the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Globecomm Network Services Corporation (“GNSC”), has signed a one-year contract extension with Afghan Telecom.

Afghan Telecom, a newly formed company, has taken on responsibility for all telecommunications services throughout Afghanistan. GNSC has been providing teleport services, in support of international voice and Internet connectivity, to Afghan Telecom since the District Communications Network (“DCN”), which was built by Globecomm Systems, went live. The DCN provides telecommunication connections between districts, central and provincial organizations.

Ken Miller, President of Globecomm Systems Inc., said: “Globecomm looks forward to a long term relationship with Afghan Telecom as we work together to re-build the country’s telecommunication infrastructure.”
