a leading provider of WiMAX and broadband wireless infrastructure products,
today announced that it has received USDA acceptance and Buy American status
from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utility Services (RUS) for its
RedMAX and RedCONNEX products. The acceptance will enable network operators
in the United States to take advantage of a federal rural broadband funding
program when deploying Redline's broadband wireless products in support of
rural residential, business and community wireless services.

Redline's WiMAX Forum Certified(R) products awarded RUS acceptance and
Buy American status include the RedMAX AN100U, and RedMAX Subscriber Unit
(SU-O). The Redline Management System (RMS) and RedCONNEX AN80i, Redline's
award-winning broadband wireless infrastructure product also achieved
acceptance. Redline's products underwent the USDA's rigorous process and are
now included on the USDA's designated List of Materials Acceptable for Use in
Telecommunications Systems for access by communication providers
participating in the RUS funding program.

"Redline applauds the RUS program for assisting service providers to
bring broadband services to more areas across the United States," said Kevin
Suitor, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Redline
Communications. "Telecommunications providers can take advantage of
significant RUS funding to deploy Redline's high bandwidth, high throughput
products and provide critical community services and local businesses with
broadband support for voice, video and data services; services they depend on
to carry out their businesses and remain profitable."

The Rural Utility Services (RUS) telecommunications program is designed
to assist US communication operators in developing, planning and financing
the construction of broadband communications by providing financial grants to
enable operators to deploy broadband infrastructure services in rural,
economically-challenged communities where services currently do not exist.
