Ondas Networks Completes First Buildout Of Its 802.16 Technology To Power The Latest Class I Railroad's Migration To New 900 MHz Network In Chicago

Demonstrates continued adoption of Ondas' IEEE 802.16 (dot 16) technology for Rail wireless network upgrades in collaboration with its partner Siemens Mobility

Ondas Holdings Inc.("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions, announced today that it has completed the first buildout of its 802.16 technology operating on the new 900 MHz "A Block" with a large Class I railroad in Chicago. This new deployment continues Ondas' collaboration with its partner Siemens Mobility to assist rail operators with the transition from legacy systems to cutting-edge 900 MHz wireless communications networks capable of supporting IEEE 802.16 ("dot16") technology.

As the first 900 MHz A Block network upgrade by a Class I railroad in Chicago - one of the most complex railroad wireless environments in the country - this achievement demonstrates the continued adoption and maturity of Ondas Networks IEEE 802.16 technology to provide scalable, secure, and ubiquitous in dense, urban rail systems. This latest installation in Chicago includes upgrades to the railroad's core base station infrastructure, providing a mission-critical backbone to enable future upgrades to additional wayside infrastructure.

"We are excited to announce this latest adoption of our 900 MHz technology by a Class I railroad in Chicago," said Ondas Networks CEO Markus Nottelmann. "This is yet additional validation that Ondas Networks and Siemens Mobility have delivered a viable and comprehensive deployment plan for 900 MHz wireless network upgrades in the industry which allows the Class 1s to meet their commitments to transition to the new A Block. This further demonstrates the maturity and readiness of our dot16 technology to provide scalable and secure wireless technology to North American railroads."

In conjunction with Siemens Mobility, Ondas Networks previously announced in December that it would also be upgrading the legacy 900 MHz system of Metra, Chicago's metropolitan commuter rail, to an advanced, 802.16 network operating on the new A Block in Chicago. Ondas Networks is actively coordinating the use of the A Block spectrum with industry bodies in Chicago and elsewhere to assist railroads with ongoing migrations from the legacy 900 MHz network which is being retired.
