           GLOBECOMM SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES RECORD REVENUES FOR FISCAL 2005
                 SECOND QUARTER AND SIX-MONTH FINANCIAL RESULTS

           o   Revenue Increase of 23.3% in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2005
                       as Compared to Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004

           o   Earnings Per Share of $0.07 in the Second Quarter of Fiscal
                2005, or $0.03 Excluding Non-Recurring Gain, as Compared
               to Loss Per Share of $0.05 in Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004


HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 2, 2005--Globecomm Systems Inc.
(NASDAQ: GCOM-News), a global provider of end-to-end satellite-based
communications solutions, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2005
second quarter and six-months ended December 31, 2004.

Fiscal 2005 Second Quarter Results

Revenues for the Company's fiscal 2005 second quarter ended December 31, 2004
increased 23.3% to a record $29.2 million, compared to $23.7 million in the same
period last year. The increase in revenues was primarily the result of increased
infrastructure sales activity in the government marketplace, coupled with a
general overall improvement in the telecommunications industry segments that the
Company serves.

Net income for the Company's fiscal 2005 second quarter increased 252% to $1.0
million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million, or
$0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Net income for
the second quarter of fiscal 2005 included a $0.5 million non-recurring gain
relating to a settlement with a major customer announced on July 7, 2004, or
$0.04 per diluted share, which is reflected as a reduction in costs from ground
segment systems, networks and enterprise solutions.

The turnaround in the Company's net loss to a net profit was primarily driven by
an increase in revenues and an improvement in the overall gross margin of the
Company.

Fiscal 2005 Six-Month Results

Revenues for the Company's fiscal 2005 six-months ended December 31, 2004
increased 23.8% to a record $54.7 million, compared to $44.2 million in the same
period last year. The increase in revenues was primarily the result of increased
infrastructure sales activity in the government marketplace, coupled with a
general overall improvement in the telecommunications industry segments that the
Company serves.

Net income for the first six-months of the Company's fiscal 2005 period ended
December 31, 2004 increased 378.0% to $3.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share,
compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the same
period last year. The turnaround in the Company's net loss to a net profit was
primarily driven by an increase in revenues and an improvement in the overall
gross margin of the Company. Net income for the six-months ended December 31,
2004 includes $2.4 million ($0.16 per diluted share) in non-recurring gains
relating to a settlement with a major customer announced on July 7, 2004, which
is reflected as a $1.5 million reduction in general and administrative expenses
and a $0.9 million reduction in costs from ground segment systems, networks and
enterprise solutions. The net loss for the six-months ended December 31, 2003
was reduced by a $1.0 million ($0.08 per diluted share) cash recovery in
connection with a previously announced termination of services by a major
customer in the Middle East, which is reflected as a reduction in general and
administrative expenses.





Management's Review of Results

David Hershberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Globecomm said, "With
our third consecutive quarter of profitability, the breadth and diversity of
Globecomm's product and service offerings are beginning to be reflected in the
Company's financial results. We see end-user demand for products and services
designed around Internet Protocol ("IP") continuing to grow. Satellite and
terrestrial networks ranging from requirements for the battlefield, homeland
security initiatives, next generation networks and voice over the Internet,
amongst other IP applications, open up an array of opportunities to the Company
in the future. As we explore these opportunities, the Company remains committed
to our core customer base in providing the best-of-breed infrastructure
integration and service capabilities in the marketplace."

Mr. Hershberg continued, "Globecomm entered the third quarter with $30 million
of cash, no debt and no amounts outstanding under the new $16.5 million credit
facility announced during the second quarter other than secured letters of
credit. The strength of our balance sheet should support the Company's current
growth phase for the foreseeable future. We are better positioned to benefit
from the macro trends that we are witnessing in the marketplace than ever before
and are excited about our future prospects."

Management's Current Expectations for the Full Year Ending June 30, 2005

Globecomm continues to expect consolidated revenues for the full year ending
June 30, 2005 to be in excess of $105 million. The Company anticipates achieving
full year profitability at this revenue level, excluding the non-recurring gains
totaling $2.4 million reflected in the Company's results for the six-months
ended December 31, 2004. The Company further anticipates quarterly income
statement fluctuations resulting from the nature of the business and the size of
certain contracts in backlog.

These expectations reflect the Company's results for the six-months ended
December 31, 2004 and management's current view of the next six-months. Actual
results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 will remain susceptible to
factors beyond our control in certain areas of the world. These may include, but
are not limited to, major disruptions in the marketplaces in which we operate
due to political unrest, local violence, global economic recession and changes
in United States Government foreign policy. Results will also remain susceptible
to possible cost overruns on projects.
