These orders are for the purchase of AirNet's latest product, the Triple Capacity Digital AirSite(R) Backhaul Free(TM) base station, commonly known as the "Trip Cap" and installation/commissioning services. "Together with TECORE, AirNet has played an important role in the reconstruction of communications in Afghanistan," said Shiblie O. Shiblie, chief operating officer of TECORE. "With the introduction of Trip Caps into this market, AirNet has yet again proven it has the perfect solution for operators implementing both coverage and high capacity applications." "In conjunction with our industry leading SDR technology, our core strengths include our people and their commitment to excellence," said Bill Lee, vice president of operations for AirNet. "The AirNet 'Services' team has provided exceptional product and technical support during the installation and commissioning of this first phase of deployment in Afghanistan. I expect that level of performance to continue." In March 2002, TECORE placed approximately $10M in purchase orders with AirNet for deployment of an initial system in Afghanistan. Afghan Wireless has turned on service in Kabul, Herat, and Mazar-i-Sharif. Other regional markets are scheduled to come on line later this year. AirNet and TECORE personnel have been "in-country" over the last six months deploying the initial system for Afghan Wireless. About TECORE
