Redline Receives FCC Certification for Additional 3.65 GHz WiMAX Products


TORONTO, July 23 /PRNewswire/ --

- Service Providers in the U.S. Now Have Access to Redline's Full Suite
of Advanced RedMAX Products

Redline Communications Group Inc. ("Redline") (TSX and AIM: RDL), a
leading provider of WiMAX and broadband wireless infrastructure products,
today announced that it has received Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
approval for its RedMAX(TM) AN100-UX Base Station and RedMAX(TM) SU-I Indoor
Subscriber Unit in the United States. This approval completes the
certification of Redline's full suite of WiMAX Forum Certified(R) 3.65 GHz
RedMAX offerings.

Redline was first to receive FCC approval for WiMAX products in the 3.65
GHz band. Its RedMAX AN-100U Base Station and RedMAX SU-O Outdoor Subscriber
Unit were certified for deployment in the United States in November 2007. The
certification of the RedMAX AN-100UX Macro Base Station will give service
providers a greater selection of WiMAX products to meet their specific
business requirements. The RedMAX SU-I, which operates with both the AN-100
and AN-100UX, supports true user self-installs, enabling rapid and
cost-effective residential and small business deployments.

"With more than 160 carriers deploying Redline's RedMAX products
worldwide, Redline is a global leader in delivering WiMAX solutions that
offer service providers a positive business model from a cost, capacity and
ease of deployment perspective," said Kevin Suitor, Vice President of
Marketing and Business Development, Redline Communications. "By choosing
RedMAX, operators can realize a rapid return on their investment and benefit
from the highest capacity base stations in the industry, with the ability to
support more than 500 users per base station radio."

Redline's 3.65 GHz RedMAX products have been widely deployed by service
providers in eighteen states. Among the first RedMAX deployments in the
United States are Rapid Link, a Diversified Communication Services Company of
Atlanta, Georgia, WWX Systems and LLC of Denver, Colorado.

"We are seeing such demand for WiMAX-based services that any ability to
shorten the install interval is important to us. The new indoor modem allows
us to install customers faster without compromising quality," said Matt
Liotta, Chief Technology Officer, Rapid Link.
