Airspan's WiMAX Solutions Selected by Agile Communications in Australia

Airspan Networks Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRN), a leading worldwide provider of WiMAX based broadband wireless access networks, today announced that its MicroMAX 3.4 GHz base stations and corresponding ProST subscriber terminals have been selected by Agile Communications, a regional telecommunications service company that is part of the Internode group. Internode is one of Australia's leading nationwide broadband service providers. In addition to metropolitan broadband service provision across Australia, the company has been designing and rolling out innovative and sustainable broadband and voice services in regional South Australia for more than 7 years.

For 6 months last year, Agile carried out extensive field testing of Airspan's 3.4 and 5.8 GHz WiMAX equipment for use throughout South Australia's Yorke Peninsula and Coorong regions, covering over 15,000 square kilometers. The culmination of that testing coincided with the Australian Government's announcement on October 17th, 2007 that Internode would be providing broadband services across those regions under the "Australian Broadband Guarantee" program. Since then over 10 base station sites have been installed and commissioned and customer premises unit installations have begun.

"Airspan's broad coverage MicroMAX system is well suited for Internode's needs. In the wide-ranging testing carried out, we have confirmed the reliability of the MicroMAX system to cover the terrain necessary to reach our end users. With speeds exceeding 6 mbp/s at distances of 30km and greater, this proven performance is paramount to providing service under the Australian Broadband Guarantee program," said Internode managing director Simon Hackett.

"The Australian WiMAX market continues to gain momentum and we are pleased that Airspan has been there from the beginning with a regional presence through our fully owned incorporated subsidiary, Airspan Networks Pty Ltd, based in Sydney," said Grant Stepa, Airspan's Managing Director & Vice President Australasia
