BeamReach Announces Agreements

BeamSphere Partner Program Extends BeamReach 
Technology to Business and Residential Applications

    ATLANTA, June 4, 2002--BeamReach Networks, the leading provider of broadband wireless access systems based on adaptive beamforming technology, announced that it has established product agreements with three industry-leading vendors: Proxim Corporation, Mediatrix, and Filanet.

   The three companies are joining BeamReach's newly inaugurated BeamSphere Partner Program, which has been established to facilitate development and interoperability of products and services which are complementary to the BeamPlex system, and which will expand the applications available to business and residential subscribers. Proxim provides localized wireless LAN solutions and residential 802.11 products; Filanet provides advanced security solutions for managed IP services; and Mediatrix provides voice over IP (VOIP) solutions.

    "These three companies -- Proxim, Mediatrix, and Filanet -- are each leaders in their fields and represent best-in-class solutions," said Bob Kelsch, BeamReach CEO. "We are very pleased to have established these relationships, which will certainly facilitate the delivery of valuable, end-to-end solutions for users of our system."

    Proxim has a very broad range of residential and small office/home office products that enable sharing of Internet connections, files, and printers. These products extend the functionality of BeamReach subscriber equipment by allowing wireless network connections within buildings. Through the use of Proxim's 802.11 products, mobility is enabled for untethered Internet access throughout the subscriber's residence or business location.

    Mediatrix is a leader in the VOIP field with its network-edge solutions for the residential and business telephony marketplaces. Together with Mediatrix's broad product line of VOIP gateways, integrated access devices, and IP communications servers, BeamReach will be able to provide high-quality telephony solutions to its customers.

    Filanet offers solutions for managed IP services delivery to small-to-medium businesses and telecommuter customers.
