Comments from Management

" Our team continued to execute extremely well during the fourth quarter, " said Tzvika Friedman, President and CEO of Alvarion. " Revenues exceeded our guidance for the fourth quarter and enabled us to reach the upper end of our target range for revenue growth in 2007. WiMAX revenues increased about 74% in 2007, significantly above our target of at least 50% growth. Our strategy of engaging with operators for both primary and Personal Broadband early on and growing with our satisfied customers is clearly paying off. We are the market leader in WiMAX with cumulative shipments of about $260 million.

" 2008 promises to be another year of expansion and adoption of WiMAX, and we continue to target revenue of $275 million to $300 million for 2008. Our guidance for Q1 puts us on pace to achieve this revenue target. "

Q1 2008 Guidance

The company ' s revenue guidance for Q1 2008 is $63 to $67 million. The company is exposed to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate. In addition, the company ' s financial income is adversely affected by the decrease in interest rates. Therefore, based on the indicated revenue range, Q1 non-GAAP per share results are expected to range between $0.00 and $0.03. GAAP loss per share is expected to range between ($0.04) and ($0.01).
