GigaBeam Announces Further Expansion To California Market

Durham, NC - GigaBeam Corporation, deploying WiFiber "wireless fiber optics" technology to economic centers across the globe, announced recently that it has received an order for two of the Company's G1.25 WiFiber links and one 100 megabit product link from a fiber backbone telecommunications carrier based in California. It plans to leverage the Company's next generation wireless broadband technology to expand a Metro Ethernet network.

The Company expects to drive additional revenues from the projected growth of this industry-leading partner's network which will be able to bypass the existing telecommunications infrastructure at fiber-like speed and reliability.

"I am pleased to announce that GigaBeam is achieving further penetration into the California market," said Louis Slaughter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GigaBeam. "We believe that this new order provides another example of how GigaBeam can help telecommunications service companies grow their infrastructures efficiently and cost effectively. GigaBeam continues to make progress towards our vision of establishing next generation networks around the globe utilizing our technology and products."

GigaBeam's WiFiber technology is similar to terrestrial fiber in terms of speed and reliability. WiFiber has a substantial advantage over terrestrial fiber because it can be rapidly deployed and costs significantly less to deploy than terrestrial fiber. Terrestrial fiber can take months to deploy and also require significant regulatory and environmental approvals prior to installation.

GigaBeam WiFiber products operate in the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz upper millimeter wave spectrum bands. The Federal Communications Commission and the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) and certain other countries for licensed wireless commercial use have authorized this portion of the spectrum.
