Tell us about your role at Arrowhead.

Tom Eaton: I am the President of Arrowhead Global Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of CapRock Communications and I’d been in the satellite industry for 11 years prior to coming to Arrowhead. I’ve been in the telecommunications industry for a number of years — more than 20. I’ve been on the hardware services side, satellite side and then in the government sector.

Tom Eaton: It’s going great. In fact if you look at the three markets that we serve now — the energy market and their mining efforts, the maritime business which has expanded to serve other vessels beyond just energy transport, and Arrowhead, which serves the government sector – you’ve got a company in CapRock that’s serving very strong institutional customers. With the economic times that we find ourselves in, it’s good to be serving the oil and gas markets. Maritime is a booming area as well. On the Arrowhead side our primary focus is supporting the warfighters in their missions throughout the world. We have a good strong customer base that we are supporting today.
