June 5, 2008 – HOUSTON, TEXAS – SkyPort Global Communications, a leading provider of satellite communications solutions, has entered into a definitive agreement to be purchased by Lavell Systems, Inc. located in Reston, VA.

“Based on the ever-increasing demand for broadband, the growing sophistication of network applications and customer demand for a single communications provider, the integration business is now at the forefront of both growth and profitability – and so is Lavell,” said Patrick Brant, President and CEO of Lavell. “SkyPort has a strong reputation of offering world-class service to the world’s most discerning organizations. This acquisition will serve as the foundation of our Enterprise business division and will allow us to deliver a greater range of services to customers, strongly positioning us for continued success.”
