OTTAWA, CANADA--(Marketwired - June 3, 2015) - DragonWave Inc. (TSX:DWI)(NASDAQ:DRWI) a leading global supplier of packet microwave radio systems for mobile and access networks, today announced updated revenue expectations of approximately $27 million for its first quarter of fiscal year 2016, ended May 31, 2015.
