About the Name ``Ceragon'' The name ``Ceragon'' is a combination of two concepts that embody the company vision. The word is a derivation of ``paragon,'' a model of excellence, and ``cerago,'' an ancient English word describing an element found in a honeycomb, symbolizing tight inter-workings. Together they form ``Ceragon'' -- a model of networking excellence. Ceragon, as a company, stands out as it shapes the broadband equipment market into the next generation of wireless networks. Giganet Ltd. is not affiliated with Giganet, Inc., a privately held, Massachusetts-based company. As part of the resolution of a dispute concerning the company's rights, and the rights of Giganet, Inc. to use the name ``Giganet,'' Giganet Ltd. changed its company name to Ceragon Networks Ltd.
