Eagle Broadband Sells Security Monitoring Business to
ASG Security

Sale allows Eagle to Further Increase its Focus on IPTVComplete™ and SatMAX™

HOUSTON, March 2, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eagle Broadband (AMEX: EAG), a leading provider of broadband, Internet protocol (IP) and communications technology and services, announced today that the company entered into an agreement with Alarm Security Group LLC (“ASG”), pursuant to which ASG has purchased substantially all of the assets of D.S.S. Security, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, for a purchase price of $1.4 million.

In May, August and November of 2005, Eagle and ASG entered into separate agreements whereby ASG purchased certain security monitoring accounts from the company, and under which ASG was obligated to pay Eagle certain amounts in the future. A portion of the purchase price under the agreement includes the buyout of ASG’s obligations under those previous agreements.

“The security accounts managed by Eagle provide us with increased market density in the Houston market. The acquisition of the entire business unit was a natural next step for us after the accounts purchase,” said ASG’s CEO, Joe Nuccio. “Eagle’s core assets and key members of its direct sales force will be a strong addition to our existing branch operations.”

“During our past shareholder meeting, I mentioned we would consider divesting portions of our business to allow more attention and focus on our IPTVComplete, Set-Top Box and SatMAX product areas going forward,” stated Dave Micek, President and CEO of Eagle Broadband. “This advances our business plan to transition Eagle into becoming a leading IPTV and SatMAX technology and services provider. I’m delighted to have come to a successful agreement with ASG, one of the nation’s top security companies, and that they have offered our security employees an opportunity to work for them.”
