         Re: Globecomm Systems Inc. (the "Company") Registration Statement for
             Offering of an Aggregate of 125,644 Shares of Common Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to Globecomm Systems Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration statement on
Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, of 125,644 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares") and
related stock options for issuance under the Company's Amended and Restated 1997
Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

         This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of
Item 8 of Form S-8 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.

         We have reviewed the Company's charter documents and the corporate
proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the establishment and
amendment of the Plan. Based on such review, we are of the opinion that, if, as
and when the Shares are issued and sold (and the consideration therefor
received) pursuant to (a) the provisions of option agreements duly authorized
under the Plan and in accordance with the Registration Statement, or (b) duly
authorized direct stock issuances in accordance with the Plan, and in accordance
with the Registration Statement, such Shares will be duly authorized, legally
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         We consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5 to the
Registration Statement.

         This opinion letter is rendered as of the date first written above and
we disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or
developments which hereafter may be brought to our attention and which may
alter, affect or modify the opinion expressed herein. Our opinion is expressly
limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by
implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company, the
Plan or the Shares issuable under such Plan.



                         Very truly yours,


                         /s/ Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP
