SAN DIEGO, CA - March 31, 2009 - E-Band Communications Corp., a leading developer of multi-gigabit capacity wireless communication systems based on 70/80 GHz millimeter wave radio technology, today announces the limited availability of the E-Link 1000EXR; the highest performance gigabit per second radio in the world.

70/80 GHz e-band products are being touted by many global mobile operators as an integral component in cellular backhaul networks.  With the drive towards 4G technologies such as WiMAX and LTE supporting ever higher data rate multi-media applications such as mobile broadband internet, carriers are seeing tremendous cost and bandwidth constraints with their current backhaul solutions.  E-band wireless is a mobile backhaul technology that offers scalable and flexible wireless backhaul at costs significantly less than alternative backhaul techniques.  E-band technology supports fiber-like data rates at one gigabit per second and beyond - significantly faster than can be supported in alternative copper or microwave radio wireless solutions and significantly lower cost than buried fiber-optic cables. Taking into account time and expenses required to receive permits and labor cost to connect buildings, campuses or cellular base stations with fiber-optic cables, e-band wireless systems end up costing only a fraction of cost of fiber and start generating revenue immediately.

The new E-Link 1000EXR e-band radio reconfirms E-Band Communications' position as the leading technology developer in the high frequency radio market.  The E-Link 1000EXR delivers a 3-times improvement in link budget over all competing 70/80 GHz e-band products.  This enables the E-Link 1000EXR to transmit full gigabit Ethernet data at 1.25 Gbps over longer distances, with higher availability and increased data robustness than any other millimeter-wave wireless solution, making the E-Link 1000EXR the performance leader in the e-band wireless space.  E-Band Communications' advanced technology delivers industry leading output power and receiver sensitivity, which coupled with newly introduced forward error correction, delivers a 6 dB link budget improvement over our E-Link 1000 and 8dB more than the competition.

"We are very proud to announce the availability of our E-Link 1000EXR industry leading product," said CEO, Sam Smookler.  "Our exclusive relationship with Northrop Grumman for their e-band Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) technology has yielded the highest output power and most sensitive millimeter-wave transmitter and receiver devices available today.  By integrating these advanced devices with our own internal product innovation, we are able to deliver full gigabit Ethernet data rates under conditions where other products simply cannot deliver gigabit or even 100 Mbps speeds."
