TORONTO, Canada, July 2 /PRNewswire/ --
- Tranzeo's WiMAX Subscriber Units Achieve Silver Status in Redline
Ecosystem Verification(TM) Program
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
the Redline Ecosystem Verification(TM) ('REV') program. The Tranzeo
products have achieved Silver status in the REV program which is designed
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.
