NOIZ moving on news for new wireless orders..... (BSNS WIRE) Micronetics Awarded More Orders For MicroCal Module; Initial Micronetics Awarded More Orders For MicroCal Module; Initial Orders For Built-in-Test Component For Wireless Broadband HUDSON, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2000--Micronetics Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ:NOIZ) announced today that it received a low six figure follow-on order to supply its 3.5 GHz MicroCal(TM) surface mount switches and attenuators. It also announced that it received initial orders to supply its MicroCal built-in-test noise source component for use by a leader in wireless data communication solutions in its point to multi-point broadband wireless radios. These radios are designed for broadband wireless networks. Micronetics' MicroCal module is being used to assess and validate component and system performance in a wireless local loop (WLL) system. This application enables a WLL system operator to add subscribers without the need to send an installer to the residence of the WLL subscriber, thus reducing installation cost and increasing speed of the WLL system roll-out. Dave Robbins, Senior Vice President of Micronetics/Components stated, "These MicroCal Modules are designed for use in wireless and land mobile communication systems, cellular phone networks and satellite receivers. The fact that we are getting repeat orders for this product is reassuring because it reflects acceptance of our customer's products in the marketplace. Based on current interest in our MicroCal modules, we are taking steps to reduce manufacturing costs for our second generation proprietary integrated module and intend to pass along these savings to current and future customers. We are working with new customers to develop additional applications for our MicroCal line of products." Regarding the initial orders for our MicroCal built-in-test noise source, it is being used in the front-end receiver of point to multi-point broadband radios to provide a stable calibrated signal. By installing these built-in-test noise sources in each radio in the network, designers, developers and manufacturers of these systems have a simple test mechanism to insure that their network is functioning properly and to aid in debugging system problems. Ralph Marrone, Vice President of Micronetics/Equipment, stated, "To get designed into this customer's point to multi-point broadband wireless radios is a great design win for us. The fact that our MicroCal products are getting designed in for built-in test applications is further validation of our strategy to develop our proprietary MicroCal product line. We are developing several variations of our MicroCal products: in module and component form to accommodate the needs of different customers for stand-alone components or fully-integrated modules. Production roll-out of this point to multi-point radio is expected later this year." Based in Hudson, NH, Micronetics Wireless manufactures broadband test equipment and components used in the design, testing and manufacturing of cellular, PCS, wireless local loop and satellite equipment through its Micronetics/Equipment Group, and manufactures microwave components and subassemblies primarily used in radar, test equipment, electronic counter-intelligence, wireless communications and electronic simulation applications through its Micronetics/Components Group. Statements in this press release contain forward-looking material. Actual results may vary due to a number of risks and uncertainties and should be viewed in conjunction with Micronetics Annual Report for its fiscal year ended March 31, 1999. --30--JL/ny* CONTACT: Micronetics Wireless, Inc.
