July 22, 2005

Wavesat, a leading developer of WiMAX silicon, announces that Taiwan-based Z-Com has chosen Wavesat's Evolutive WiMAX portfolio to develop an 802.16-2004 Compliant CPE. Z-Com plans to launch its first WiMAX high-quality and low cost CPE product as early as Q4, 2005 in Taiwan and China.

Raymond Ou, Director of R&D for Z-Com, explained: "We picked Wavesat's WiMAX solution for its small package size and its high level of integration with RF and MAC. Their comprehensive Reference Kit offers us the fastest time to market. We look forward to a long term partnership with Wavesat."

Wavesat CEO Michel Guay added: "Z-Com is a valuable partner and we are proud to have them on board. We are delighted to see that they are already getting good traction with significant OEMs, and are forecasting WiMAX deployment in the near future."

Wavesat's Evolutive 802.16/WiMAX portfolio is optimized to facilitate the transition of existing systems, both Base Station and Subscriber Unit, to become WiMAX compliant, with an easy evolution towards Mobility.
