employees worldwide, EchoStar has more than 25 years of
experience in designing, developing and distributing award-
winning advanced television set-top boxes and related

solutions for cable, telco, IPTV and satellite TV companies
worldwide. EchoStar also delivers satellite services through
10 owned and leased in-orbit satellites and related FCC
licenses, which includes a network of 10 digital broadcast
centers and leased fiber optic capacity with points of
presence in 210 U.S. TV markets and several countries
worldwide. EchoStar revenues totaled approximately $2
billion for 2008 and 2009.
