Redline Communications Group Inc. (TSX and AIM: RDL), a leading 
provider of WiMAX broadband wireless products, today announced the addition 
of the Tranzeo Wireless Technologies' (TSX:TZT) WiMAX subscriber units to

to accelerate the deployment of interoperable WiMAX networks around the globe.

"Redline is a recognized leader in the WiMAX industry, for its 
technology, system performance, and commitment to furthering 
interoperability among the WiMAX ecosystem," said Dave Gelvin, President 
Tranzeo Wireless, USA. "We are excited to be part of Redline's REV program 
and to offer operators a greater selection of interoperable WiMAX 
subscriber units that support their customers' requirements, and enable a 
strong return on investment."

REV interoperability testing confirms that carriers can incorporate 
Redline's RedMAX(TM) AN-100U and AN-100UX WiMAX Forum Certified(TM) base 
stations and Tranzeo's 3.5GHz WiMAX TR-WMX-3.5 outdoor modems in their

Certification, verifying that carriers can achieve connectivity between 
both the Redline infrastructure and Tranzeo devices in their network.

"Redline is one of the first companies to develop a program to test 
the interoperability of WiMAX products. This program really focuses on 
offering a much broader range of WiMAX certified products to carriers. It 
also helps to drive down the price of WiMAX, making it a more cost 
effective option to carriers worldwide," says Kevin Suitor, Vice President 
of Marketing and Business Development, Redline Communications.
