DMC STRATEX NETWORKS WINS THE PRODUCT OF THE YEAR AWARD FOR FIXED WIRELESS
ACCESS FROM INTERNET TELEPHONY MAGAZINE
Award-Winning Altium 155-Mbps Fixed Wireless Access Product Recognized
as a Solution for the Next Generation of Global Telecommunications
SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 18, 2000 - DMC Stratex Networks (NASDAQ: STXN), one of
the world's foremost solutions providers for broadband wireless access and
cellular applications, today announced that its AltiumT high-capacity
wireless networking product has earned Internet Telephony® Magazine's 2000
Product of the Year Award in the category of fixed wireless solutions.
The Altium product line delivers data, voice and video in a wireless system,
with international approval and deployment in licensed radio frequencies from
7 GHz to 38 GHz. It provides OC-3 (155 Mbps) broadband wireless access and
backhaul/interconnect capacity with the most spectrally efficient wireless
modulation available. This efficiency allows carriers to dedicate less of
their licensed spectrum for installed systems, making Altium the most
affordable solution to operate providing the industry's highest wireless
access capacity.
"The Internet Telephony Product of the Year award allows us to honor
exemplary products across a broad span of the marketplace," said Rich
Tehrani, TMC president and group publisher. "As the industry matures, we're
finding more than just products and services on the market. Entire solutions
are being offered, such as those from DMC Stratex Networks, which can include
its award-winning Altium high-capacity wireless access solutions. The
awards, selected by the editors of Internet Telephony Magazine and the
engineers of TMC Labs, are designed to honor companies such as DMC Stratex
Networks as it continues to forge ahead with the development of the next
generation of global telecommunications."
"Internet Telephony Magazine is the leading publication covering
next-generation, IP-based telecommunications to help service providers and
readers take advantage of the convergence of voice, video, and data
technology, and we are excited to receive this honor," said Sam Smookler, DMC
Stratex Networks president and CEO. "This recognition further confirms our
leadership in worldwide fixed wireless access markets, and we're pleased to
add this award to the list of honors received by Altium."
Altium will be featured with this year's winners in Internet Telephony's
January 2001 issue. According to Internet Telephony, the award is designed
to honor innovative products and services that have made a positive impact on
the convergence of voice and data.

high-speed wireless access networks. Altium uses the highest density
modulation for a broadband wireless access product (128 QAM) to deliver
155-Mbps wireless fiber-like capacity in only 28 MHz of radio frequency
bandwidth, half that of similar wireless products.
