ISCO INTERNATIONAL LINKS RF PHYSICAL LAYER CONDITIONING TO 3G / 4G WIRELESS CAPITAL EFFICIENCY AT CTIA WIRELESS 2011

Similar to Well-Established Practices Concerning Wireline Networks and Layer-1 of the ISO Model — Wireless Networks Require a Solid, Conditioned RF Physical Layer for Maximum Coverage and Capacity

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL – March 16, 2011 – Gordon Reichard, CEO of ISCO International, LLC, a leading provider of flexible spectrum conditioning solutions for wireless service providers, will attend next week’s CTIA Wireless 2011 conference and exhibition in Orlando to discuss the tight linkage between a conditioned RF physical layer and maximum cell site coverage, capacity and performance.

Wireless service providers are continuously growing their networks to deliver the capacity needed to satisfy data hungry smart phones and their applications. Making sure the capital invested to deliver the incremental capacity meets expected financial returns requires the deployed equipment more

Next-generation all-outdoor packet microwave system lowers cost per bit, leads industry in spectral efficiency and allows zero footprint installations

To offset the cost and capacity challenges created by today’s high-bandwidth 3G applications and the accelerating rollout of 4G, mobile operators must find ways to increase overall system capacity. DragonWave Inc.’s (TSX: DWI / NASDAQ: DRWI) introduction of Horizon Compact+ provides operators with a key tool to address lifecycle cost in three critical areas: Spectrum utilization, capacity and location leasing costs.

As the first all-outdoor system to incorporate XPIC (Cross Polarization Interference Cancellation) technology, Horizon Compact+ also becomes the first to take advantage of XPIC’s spectrum-doubling capability. Building on the capacity increases from DragonWave’s previously announced Bandwidth Accelerator technology, this spectrum-doubling capability increases the data bandwidth of Horizon Compact+ to as high as 2 Gbps.

Cost containment is another Horizon Compact+ benefit. “Leasing costs are a more

DragonWave Horizon Harmony enables a seamless transition from TDM, ATM and Frame Relay traffic to a converged packet network

The impact of smartphones, Internet appliances and 4G are combining to speed up the evolution away from legacy backhaul solutions and toward high capacity packet microwave systems. With its Horizon® Harmony platform, DragonWave Inc. (TSX: DWI; NASDAQ: DRWI) is delivering a converged, software upgradable system that will transform what could have been an expensive, problem-prone transition to all-Ethernet transport into a competitive advantage for mobile operators.

DragonWave, a leading global supplier of packet microwave radio systems for mobile and access networks, has integrated pseudowire and packet microwave technologies together into a single packet-based, high-capacity system. Horizon Harmony completely bypasses the shortcomings of “hybrid” systems that have been optimized for legacy traffic and services and therefore do not offer a clear evolutionary path to a unified flat-IP network.

Additionally, the AnyDATA LTE modules and modems will operate on existing cellular networks that utilize HSPA/HSUPA/HSDPA as well as GSM/GPRS/EDGE technologies.

The AnyDATA wireless module is ideal for portable computing devices that benefit from truly ubiquitous, high speed Internet connectivity. The module more

FORT MYERS, FL—Oct. 6, 2010— Interop Technologies, a provider of core solutions for messaging, device management, and connectivity gateways, announced today that it has successfully completed testing of its 4G-ready Short Message Service Center (SMSC) 4 Series with the ARRIS Mobility Application Server (MAS). ARRIS specializes in the design, engineering, and supply of technology supporting triple- and quad-play broadband services worldwide.

The successful outcome of the integration testing ensures that any mobile network operator running the ARRIS MAS and the Interop Technologies SMSC 4 Series can support IP-based messaging protocols as well as SS7-based, legacy messaging.

The ARRIS MAS provides full SIP-based Dual Mode Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) with support for seamless roaming and handover between circuit-switched and IP networks. Offloading voice, messaging, and data services to IP networks reduces operators’ costs and provides opportunities to offer competitive service packages.

FORT MYERS, Fla.—Oct. 6, 2010—Interop Technologies, the premier provider of core wireless solutions for messaging, device management, and gateway connectivity, today announced that its 4G Messaging Gateway now supports three new variations of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)/Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

Operators using the Interop Technologies hosted technology gateway can now take advantage of plain text, CDMA-encoded, and GSM-encoded SIP support to maintain seamless messaging interoperability with legacy handsets and networks.

Interop initially announced availability of its highly modular, scalable, and extensible 4G Messaging Gateway in October 2009 and indicated that support for more IP protocols would be added. The company’s use of gateway layer protocol converters easily accommodates new protocols without changes to the messaging core or services layers. Neither today’s functionality enhancement nor the initial availability of 4G messaging for hosted customers required any changes in configuration or billing, nor was any intervention more
