LEAGUE CITY, TX--(Marketwire - July 23, 2010) -  ERF Wireless (OTCBB: ERFW), a leading provider of enterprise-class wireless broadband products and services, announced today that the company has entered into a contract with the world's leading oil and gas services company in support of BP and the U.S. Coast Guard. ERF Wireless was selected to provide its world-class integrated communications systems to provide bandwidth to the U.S. Coast Guard's Incident Command Center recently set up on Galveston Island to search for and respond to all reports of oil affecting the Texas Gulf Coast that may be associated with the BP Deepwater Horizon spill off the coast of Louisiana.

"As a Texas-based company with a high-capacity communications network already serving Galveston Island and the upper Texas coast, it was possible for ERF Wireless to quickly respond to the communication needs of the U.S. Coast Guard's Incident Command Center," said Dr. H. Dean Cubley, CEO of ERF Wireless. "In addition, with so many of our customers and company personnel located along the Texas Gulf Coast, we have a special interest in supporting the clean-up efforts and research that the Coast Guard is coordinating. The high-speed connectivity we're providing the Command Center should help in the transmission of the data being collected and we sincerely believe our technology will contribute to speeding up the process of the Gulf Coast's protection and restoration from the BP Deepwater Horizon spill."
