                  as Compared to Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004

      o Earnings Per Share of $0.04 in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 as

                 o Fourth Consecutive Quarter of Profitability

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 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 third quarter
and nine months ended March 31, 2005.

Fiscal 2005 Third Quarter Results

Revenues for the Company's fiscal 2005 third quarter ended March 31, 2005
increased 26.6% to $28.2 million, compared to $22.3 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 third quarter increased to $0.6
million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.6 million, or
$0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. 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 Nine Month Results

Revenues for the Company's fiscal 2005 nine months ended March 31, 2005
increased 24.8% to a record $82.9 million, compared to $66.4 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 nine months of the Company's fiscal 2005 period ended
March 31, 2005 increased to $3.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared
to a net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.13 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 nine months ended March 31, 2005
included $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 was
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 nine months ended March 31, 2004 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 was reflected as a reduction in general and administrative
expenses.





Management's Review of Results

Commenting on the third quarter financial results, David Hershberg, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Globecomm said, "Globecomm capped off the third
quarter with the Company's fourth consecutive quarter of profitability and a
solid balance sheet. During the quarter, Globecomm launched two new exciting
technology platforms. The managed mobile network services platform, based on the
Company's award winning patent-pending network architecture, which can be
utilized for many different applications as recently demonstrated during the
Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program. Our two-way high speed
Internet Protocol ("IP") platform based upon the iDirect broadband access
solutions, affords us yet another robust IP platform to market on a global
basis. The Company also entered into a new vertical market with the recently
announced aviation contract award in Egypt. This contract is further evidence of
the broad deployment of state-of-the-art IP-based platforms, which provide much
more flexibility and speed than legacy networks."

Mr. Hershberg continued, "With the backdrop of a strong balance sheet, Globecomm
is well positioned to invest in new platforms, execute our business plan and
capitalize on the communications convergence we are witnessing. IP as a common
standard continues to become the dominant transmission medium in the marketplace
and is transforming many legacy business models."

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

Globecomm currently expects 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, even excluding the net non-recurring
gains totaling $2.4 million reflected in the Company's results for the nine
months ended March 31, 2005.

These expectations reflect the Company's results for the nine months ended March
31, 2005 and management's current view of the next three 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, including, but 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 and results will also remain susceptible to possible
cost overruns on projects.
