MRV Communications Receives National Award At SuperComm '99 Atlanta


Business Editors & High Tech Writers
SUPERCOMM 99

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 10, 1999--MRV Communications, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MRVC), Tuesday night, received the communication industry's
SUPERQuest Award in recognition of being one of the most promising
technologies represented on the SuperComm '99 show floor. The
SUPERQuest Awards program is sponsored by CMP Media Inc., publishers
of tele.com magazine and InternetWeek, and by the Telecommunications
Industry Association and United States Telephone Association. With
over 130 entries in 12 categories, the second annual SUPERQuest Awards
was established to recognize outstanding achievements in the
implementation of network technology.
"The SUPERQuest Awards are clearly among the most prestigious
ways that our industry celebrates technology in action," said Jack
Chalden, SuperComm '99 General Manager.
MRV's Wireless Traffic Driver(TM) was recognized as the most
promising new technology introduced at SuperComm '99 in the category
of wireless technology. The Wireless Traffic Driver(TM) delivers a
breakthrough patent pending technology by combining WDM technology and
wireless transmission to distribute standard protocols at Gigabit
speed in free space. This Wireless System combines high-speed Optical
and Millimeter Wave Transmission on the same point-to-point link. This
is the first time two wireless technologies, Optical and Millimeter
Wave, have been unified and truly integrated under one parabolic
mirror/antennae in a single device.
The Wireless Traffic Driver(TM) provides convenience and ease of
deployment for high-speed network services. It can be deployed at a
fraction of the cost of laying new fiber in the ground. The
convenience of a Multi-Gigabit Wireless Optical Transmission is
combined with the robust nature of the lower speed redundant Wireless
RF Link. No governmental approval is necessary since unregulated
frequencies are used.
