(8 July 2008) CapRock Communications

Arrowhead Global Solutions, its government-focused service that provides
mission-critical connectivity anywhere in the world.
Arrowhead
delivers end-to-end managed communications solutions anytime, anywhere to
customers including government operations, first responders and
warfighters.
With almost a decade in the industry, Cavossa has extensive
experience supporting the government community in the public and private
sectors. He had served as vice president of government relations since joining
the company in July of 2007 and will now report directly to Arrowhead President
Tom Eaton. Cavossa will be responsible for leading all initiatives in support
of the SATCOM Division's Department of Defense, Intel and civil government
customers. These initiatives include satellite communications, terminal
integration, bandwidth monitoring and control and information assurance
activities.
"During his time at Arrowhead, David has demonstrated
superior executive qualities, including strong leadership, a high level of
integrity, accountability, outreach to customers and taking on tasks outside
the scope of his position," said Eaton. "David will undoubtedly continue to
play a key role in shaping the company's strategic vision."
Cavossa
joined Arrowhead from the Satellite Industry Association (SIA), where, as
executive director, he served as chief industry advocate on homeland security,
defence, telecom and trade issues. Prior to this, he worked as SIA's director
of external relations. During his tenure at SIA, Cavossa doubled the
association's membership, leading to a 100 percent increase in revenue. He
played an integral role in the development of several homeland security, public
safety and national security initiatives, expanded the commercial satellite
industry's voice and visibility within the Defense community and raised
awareness on Capitol Hill by testifying before Congress on multiple
occasions.
Before joining SIA, David held positions within NASA's Office
of Legislative Affairs and Office of External Relations, working closely with
congressional staff and foreign space agencies in support of NASA activities.
Cavossa is a graduate of Wheaton College and earned a Master of Arts degree in
