| SR Telecom’s Broadband angel Solution
Slated for 100,000 Line Network in Western Europe Pilot Project to be Completed by End of January |
| MONTREAL, November 19, 2003 - SR TelecomTM Inc. (TSX: SRX; NASDAQ: SRXA) today announced that its state-of-the-art angelTM solution has been selected for deployment in a 100,000 line multi-service broadband fixed wireless access (BFWA) network in Western Europe, which is being rolled out by one of the continent’s pre-eminent telecommunications operators. As part of a pilot project, initial deployments of the angelTM solution will commence immediately. |
| SR Telecom’s angel solution was selected over a number of competing technologies because of its carrier-grade reliability, unmatched scalability and superior coverage capabilities. angel is the industry’s first carrier-class 3.5 GHz fixed wireless access non-line-of-sight (NLOS) system using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and is immediately capable of delivering integrated voice and broadband data services. The pilot project, for which the Company has received a signed purchase order, is scheduled to be completed by the end of January 2004. Upon its successful completion, and pending final documentation, the full 100,000 line network project will commence and be deployed over three years. |
| The extensive access improvement initiative will bridge the existing telecommunications gap by delivering equivalent-to-urban services to suburban and rural regions throughout the region. |
| “We are extremely pleased by this endorsement of the value delivered by our angel product,“ said Pierre St-Arnaud, President and Chief Executive Officer of SR Telecom. “angel was developed in close collaboration with service providers and delivers the breadth of services, excellent revenue potential, guaranteed coverage and ease of operability that our clients expect. We are proud to be able to help this customer meet the challenge of delivering the best end-user experience. We are also delighted that our angel broadband product, recently acquired through the Netro acquisition, is generating a great deal of enthusiasm, from both our traditional markets and from a series of customers new to SR Telecom.” |
| About angel |
| angel delivers field-proven performance, including larger cell sizes, carrier-class voice with efficient handling of V.90 modems, extensive network management capabilities and smaller RF channels that facilitate large-scale deployments with very limited spectrum. angel offers peak rate spectral efficiency of 5.1 bps/Hz, adaptive modulation to 64-QAM and a cell range of 30 km, making it one of the most robust non-line-of-sight (NLOS) solutions available today. angel’s NLOS capability increases fixed wireless access subscriber coverage from conventional levels of 50% or less to levels that can exceed 95%. NLOS also makes installation much simpler and less costly, reducing the service provider’s required investment. Additionally, its sophisticated network management system has been carefully designed to optimize deployability and operability in full accordance with and in support of those carriers with the largest networks, the largest numbers of subscribers, and the broadest portfolio of services. At the same time, angel is cost effective in small applications. |
