AVENTURA, FL--(Marketwire - July 8, 2010) - Sanswire Corp. (OTCBB: [ SNSR ]) announced that its STS-111 and SkySat Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) will be integrated with partner systems and payloads in a newly-built, company-owned hangar facility in Easton, Maryland. Sanswire's new 172,000 cubic foot hangar is to be located at the Easton Airport, near integration partner Eastcor Engineering. It will also be utilized to showcase the fully integrated STS-111 and SkySat UAV's at upcoming flight demonstrations, at the Easton Airport, which are currently in the planning stage.

The Company expects construction and outfitting of the hangar to be completed by the middle of August 2010. Prior to the new Hangar's completion, all technology integration and testing work will take place at Eastcor's facilities.

The design of the hangar enables it to be dismantled, transported, and re-assembled. The Company believes its investment in this portable, yet substantial, new asset will provide the immediate benefit of a dedicated Sanswire workspace during its push to complete and demonstrate systems-integrated products. Additionally, it enables future work to be completed onsite at defense contractor partners' facilities and in other locations.

Sanswire CEO Glenn Estrella commented, "Our new hangar represents the first of multiple planned investments in Sanswire's infrastructure as we transition the company from R&D to commercial production. In addition to being an ideal showroom to house our airships for the upcoming demonstration in Maryland, the hangar's modular construction will enable us to move swiftly in setting up for potential testing and demonstrations in various locations. We are moving expeditiously in firming up the details for our first demonstration, and will communicate them publicly when they have been finalized."
