Ceragon Networks Launches QuickAir Partner Program; 
Ceragon's Expertise Leveraged to Deliver Award-Winning 
Solutions to the Enterprise Market

    TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 5, 2001 - Ceragon Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: CRNT), a global provider of high-capacity broadband wireless systems for operators, enterprises and communications service providers today introduced its QuickAir Partner Program(TM) (www.ceragon.com/QuickAir.htm). The QuickAir Partner Program was designed to enable broadband wireless systems integrators, distributors and value-added resellers (VARs) to better meet the growing demand for high-capacity connections in the enterprise marketplace.

    As the need for integrated, high-speed communications increases, organizations within the enterprise market, which include universities, financial institutions, corporate campuses and hospitals, are looking for solutions to internal communication needs. With that in mind, Ceragon Networks designed the QuickAir Partner Program. This new program leverages Ceragon's proven expertise in the Telecom marketplace, coupled with its award-winning modular broadband wireless systems, the FibeAir(TM) family of products, to deliver a turnkey solution for strategic partners.

    "Ceragon's focus on meeting market needs has always helped us to understand how next generation networks must evolve," said Shraga Katz, president and CEO, Ceragon Networks Ltd. "In the enterprise market today, network evolution is influenced by the need for higher capacity communications. The QuickAir Partner Program enables us to provide our QuickAir Partners with a means to quickly and profitably deliver the products and support services that the market demands."

    The Enterprise Market
    Data transmission is on the rise within corporate and campus facilities due to the proliferation of Intranets. Fast Ethernet is a standard for data transmission, focusing corporate IT departments on building and managing their ever-expanding IP infrastructures. These infrastructures must be flexible, scalable and integrate voice communications.
    Corporate and campus network decision makers are increasingly looking at broadband wireless technology to gain independence from outside providers. Broadband wireless also eliminates the connectivity challenges associated with laying fiber.

    To date, most broadband wireless technology deployed in the enterprise has been in unlicensed frequency bands. The alternative use of licensed radio frequency spectrum significantly minimizes signal interference, further protecting an enterprise's investment.

    The Ceragon Solution - A Complete, Carrier Class Alternative
    Ceragon's QuickAir Partner Program is designed to help systems integrators, distributors and VARs enable enterprise organizations to quickly and effectively solve their communications challenges. This program provides a next generation networking solution for high-capacity connections across the enterprise. It provides support for site surveys, installation, commissioning and assistance in acquiring licensed spectrum for deployment of Ceragon's FibeAir links.

    Deployed in licensed frequency bands, Ceragon's FibeAir networking equipment delivers a full throughput of 100 Mbps and above. Its modular architecture is scalable and offers converged voice, data and video communication. Enabling multiple interface combinations, FibeAir systems support SONET, ATM and IP traffic. Interfaces include 2 x Fast Ethernet, Fast Ethernet with DS3/E3 port, OC-3, OC-12 and Gigabit Ethernet.

    "Ceragon's QuickAir Partner Program has helped us to enhance and expand our offering as we strive to provide state-of-the-art, high-capacity solutions for our own clients," said David, Ingram, vice president, Roeing Corporation. "The FibeAir system, with its modular and scalable design, is critical to our success, particularly with its unique 2 x Fast Ethernet capability." Roeing Corporation, a company focused on delivering products and services to help clients build, manage and enhance their distributed PC network environments, is one of Ceragon's 40 distribution partners worldwide.
