STRIX OWS 2400 DEPLOYED FOR FIRST CITY-WIDE WIRELESS MESH NETWORK IN MUMBAI, INDIA
Strix’s Access/One Wireless Mesh Network Delivers Wireless Broadband Services Throughout Mumbai
CALABASAS, Calif., January 30, 2007
CORE NEWS FACTS
* Strix Systems today announced that LifeStyle Networks Pvt. Ltd. of Mumbai, India, has selected Strix’s carrier-class Access/One® Network Outdoor Wireless Systems (OWS) for the deployment of the first city-wide wireless mesh network in India.
* Mumbai (formerly Bombay) is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, with over 18 million people.
* There are nearly 1,000 radios already in operation and more than 2,000 additional radios will be operational before mid-2007. Additional projects will follow.
* LifeStyle addresses the issues of the incumbent cable operator by offering a better last-mile alternative, including broadband Internet, IP video surveillance, streaming video conferencing, and mobile roaming, to corporate enterprise, industrial, government, and residential customers throughout Mumbai.
* LifeStyle chose Strix Access/One OWS after testing single, dual, and multi-radio products from all major mesh network vendors. Strix’s superior carrier-class technology provides the industry’s highest throughput, lowest latency, highest capacity, greatest geographic coverage, and the ability to provide the fastest hand-off times for mobile roaming. Strix products also offer simplified deployment and require fewer wired backhauls than competing products.
* LifeStyle’s Strix network infrastructure and last-mile access will provide exceptional performance that meets and exceeds customers’ expectations, while the incumbent provider offers DSL and cable access to an already saturated network that provides slow and unreliable service.
COMMENTARY
* “LifeStyle chose the Strix Access/One OWS because only Strix could truly support a network of this scope and size,” said Abhishek Javeri, managing director of LifeStyle Networks Pvt Ltd. “Strix Access/One products deliver as advertised, allowing us to deploy a high-performance system in far less time than otherwise possible.”
* “With this deployment in India, we’ve achieved another industry first. Strix’s superior architecture has undoubtedly captured the attention of a world-class audience,” said Jim Mooreland, vice president of worldwide sales at Strix. “Our products are proven through exhaustive testing by independent agencies, and customer testimonials reinforce the strength of Strix Systems and the success of our Access/One architecture.”

About Strix OWS and IWS
The Strix Access/One OWS and IWS modular mesh products deliver the largest capacity (up to six radios and 768 users per node, three to six times the norm), highest throughput (five times the norm at 35 Mbps), and best scalability (users can add more radio boards or new technologies). An independent wireless mesh test, sponsored by Light Reading and completed in June 2006, found Strix’s OWS 2400-30 delivers the best throughput and capacity and the greatest scalability for voice applications and mobility/roaming. Strix networks scale to 10 or more wireless hops with near-zero throughput loss and latency, enabling customers to deliver real-time applications with a minimum of wired connections for a given area, which reduces CapEx and OpEx.
Strix Systems is the worldwide leader in wireless mesh networking. Strix’s Access/One products are the industry’s only modular (chassis-based) mesh systems, delivering the largest capacity, highest throughput and best scalability.
