Newbridge Networks LMDS Solution Honored by International Engineering Consortium: Newbridge Broadband Wireless Access Solution Captures Second IEC InfoVision Award ATLANTA, GEORGIA--SUPERCOMM'99, June 7, 1999 - Newbridge Networks (NYSE: NN - news; TSE: NNC - news) today announced that its comprehensive local multipoint distribution service (LMDS) broadband wireless solution has received the 1999 International Engineering Consortium (IEC) InfoVision Award in the wireless category. The IEC InfoVision Awards recognize the year's most innovative information industry products and services based on their versatility, uniqueness, market impact, customer benefits and value to society. The Newbridge(r) asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) Radio Interface Card (ARIC), an integral component of the Newbridge LMDS solution, received the IEC InfoVision Award in 1998. ''The IEC InfoVision Award recognizes leading edge technology that has a positive impact on the growth and enhancement of the telecommunications industry,'' said John Janowiak, forum director, IEC. ''The industry leadership and vision demonstrated by Newbridge in the development of its fully managed broadband wireless solutions for LMDS clearly earns this recognition.'' ''Newbridge is proud to have the superiority of our LMDS solution recognized by the IEC,'' said Conrad Lewis, executive vice president, Access Products Group, Newbridge Networks. ''As our worldwide LMDS customer base continues to grow, the support and recognition of respected industry organizations confirms our leadership in the broadband wireless industry.''

The Newbridge DMDS solution also provides customer access to broadcast media and traditional voice services through the standards-compliant Newbridge asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) solution. The Newbridge ADSL solution integrates high density DSL line cards into the MainStreetXpress 36170 Multiservices Switch or the Newbridge 350 IVSN to deliver ADSL services seamlessly, with full QoS guarantees, directly from the existing service provider ATM infrastructure. I'll have to see the demo at Supercomm to find out what speeds the ADSL is running to allow broadcast media. Sounds impressive. Pat
