[DMC secures $20 million order from major global OEM for Fixed Wireless.] Monday October 23, 8:02 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: DMC Stratex Networks, Inc. DMC Stratex Networks Secures $20 Million Order From Major Telecommunications OEM Supplier for Fixed Wireless Networks Order Marks First Major Shipments of Long-Range DXR Products in 6 and 11 GHz Frequencies; Also Includes High-Capacity Altium, Mid-Capacity XP4 SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- DMC Stratex Networks (Nasdaq: STXN - news), one of the world's foremost solutions providers for broadband wireless access, today announced that it has secured a six-month $20 million order from a major global telecommunications OEM supplier for fixed wireless access networks worldwide. The order marks early wireless network deployments for the OEM's broadband service provider customers, enabling the providers to deliver high- speed wireless access connections for businesses with increasing demands for large volumes of data and voice communications. The order includes requirements for several broadband access products, including the high-capacity (155 Mbps) Altium(TM) product line, the mid-capacity (up to 45 Mbps) XP4 product line, and the long-range (up to 60 miles) DXR(TM) solution. The order makeup exemplifies the broad wireless product range of DMC Stratex Networks, which is unmatched in the industry. Shipments will begin this quarter. Altium will be used primarily in the 7 GHz radio frequency band to deliver backhaul services between cities in Mexico for telephone and data communications. The XP4 products ordered operate in the 28/29, 31 and 38 GHz bands and are for a leading U.S. broadband fixed wireless access voice and data provider, as well as a worldwide telecommunications giant to backhaul its MMDS solutions. This order also marks the first major shipments for the DXR in the 6 GHz and 11 GHz bands, with capacities up to 45 Mbps. ``This strategic announcement furthers our long-standing relationship with this world-renowned major telecommunications OEM supplier, and we are pleased to provide key solutions for its service provider customers' wireless access networks worldwide,'' said Sam Smookler, DMC Stratex Networks president and CEO. ``Altium is the most spectrally efficient wireless product available, and it continues to be the solution of choice for today's leading OEMs and providers looking for a competitive advantage in rolling out their advanced wireless networks. It is also exciting to begin shipping the 6-GHz and 11-GHz DXR, delivering new connectivity capacities of up to 45 Mbps over longer ranges.'' Altium is designed to meet the demanding requirements of high-speed wireless access networks, delivering data, voice and video in wireless systems operating in frequencies from 7 GHz to 38 GHz. 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. 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 capacity. The XP4 is a quickly installed, low-cost wireless network solution. It offers the flexibility of transmission capacities from 2 Mbps to 45 Mbps, and most frequency bands from 7 GHz to 38 GHz. Popular applications include fixed wireless access, last-mile connections for local telephone service, cellular back-haul interconnections, and private networks. DXR radios, like their high-capacity Altium counterparts, are the most spectrally efficient offerings in their class. The DXR is specifically designed to provide low- to medium- capacity wireless connectivity for medium- to long-haul trunking applications. With headquarters in San Jose, Calif., DMC Stratex Networks, Inc., is one of the world's foremost solutions providers for broadband wireless access -- enabling the development of complex communications networks worldwide. Since its founding in 1984, the Company has achieved international recognition for quality, innovation, and technical superiority in delivering data, voice, and video communication systems, including comprehensive service and support.
