PR 630-323-0555 [e-mail] INTAG COMMUNICATIONS AUTHORIZED TO SELL WILAN Austin, TX - April 23, 2004 - Intag Communications, Inc. today announced a partnership with WiLAN to sell WiLAN's fixed wireless product line. Intag Communications designs, implements, and maintains wired and wireless computer networks for enterprise, educational, and service providers since 1978. Wi-LAN products are designed for commercial outdoor broadband wireless networks and are ideal for high-density non-line-of-sight (NLOS) point-to-multipoint configurations, medium-density ad-hoc networks, and long-distance point-to-point backhaul applications. Customers who deploy Wi-LAN's LIBRA product line are protected by Wi-LAN's Continuity Program. The core of the Continuity Program is Wi-LAN's commitment that any current LIBRA Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) will operate side by side, in the same network, the same cell and even the same sector with future WiMAX Certified CPE's. The Continuity Program will minimize network and revenue disruption and protect customers' investment in current technology when networks are transitioned to WiMAX compliant equipment. The Continuity Program offers Wi-LAN customers a solid migration path to Wi-LAN's Wi-MAX Certified* systems, which are expected to be available in the first half of 2005. "WiLAN is the clear leader in WiMAX technology, which we believe to be the future of wireless networking. Their WiMAX continuity program is the only one of its kind in that it provides a true migration path to upgrade to WiMAX Certified equipment when it is available", said Mike Intag, VP of Intag Communications. "Based on our field test with the Libra 5800, with the proper design, non-line-of-site (nlos) fixed wireless is now a possibility". "We are excited to have Intag Communications as a partner to sell and deploy our products. Intag has a solid background in both computer networking and fixed wireless, which is a rare and valuable combination," said Mike Wolleben, North American Channel Sales for WiLAN.
