CAMBRIDGE, England, February 6 /PRNewswire/ --

- VectaStar Flexibility Enables WiMAX, CDMA & Enterprise Access Services 
on a Single, Multi-Frequency Platform

Moroccan telecommunications operator Wana has awarded Cambridge Broadband
Networks a significant contract for the provision of its VectaStar
transmission platform. Wana is using VectaStar to backhaul multiple services
including corporate access and CDMA cellular traffic with WiMAX set to follow
later in 2008. The network will operate on two frequency bands, 3.5 and 10.5
GHz, simultaneously.

A key reason for Wana selecting VectaStar was because of its cost
effective deployment architecture for operators holding multiple frequency
licenses.

VectaStar is the only Point to Multi-point microwave platform that
operates on all frequencies simultaneously from a single hub. Furthermore,
VectaStar has integrated multi-protocol quality of service (QoS) management
and optimisation capability. This ensures that only data that is actually
required is transmitted across the network. The statistical multiplexing
feature that is a key feature of the VectaStar radio plane architecture means
VectaStar can effectively carry at least four times the data of any competing
system in the same over-the-air bandwidth; ensuring Wana can cope with the
diverse access and backhaul requirements of the mixed, CDMA, enterprise and
WiMAX services they intend to deploy over it.

Karim Zaz Chairman & CEO, from Wana, explains: "VectaStar has performed
well for us as an access solution so it was the logical choice to expand our
network using it. Being able to expand our application of VectaStar to
include backhauling our CDMA and WiMAX network underpins our original
decision to back this innovative, scalable platform."

Olof Lindberg, Vice President Worldwide Sales of Cambridge Broadband
Networks, comments: "Wana has been recognised by the African Telecoms Union
for its innovative provision of cellular and access services. As an
established VectaStar customer, we are thrilled to have been able to work
with Wana to make this service a reality and look forward to working with it
on the next phase of its deployment of wireless broadband services. Wana
started its commercial operation with VectaStar more than a year ago and the
fact it has selected Cambridge Broadband Networks to handle the next
generation of high speed data services is a glowing testament to the
underlying strength of the VectaStar product and Point to Multi-point
transmission."
