Deal Includes Ceragon's FibeAir(R) IP-10 and Evolution(R) Long-Haul Solutions as well as Engineering, Installation, Commissioning and Project Management Services

PARAMUS, New Jersey, September 12, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Ceragon Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: CRNT
[http://www.ceragon.com/investor_relations.asp ]), the premier wireless
backhaul specialist, announced today that it has received two large
follow-on orders from a major operator in Brazil. The new orders, valued at
several millions of dollars, follow Ceragon's selection for the next phase
of a wide deployment project that consists of handling all microwave
transmission for the Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Espirito Santo (ES) and Sao Paulo
(SP) states. Since the beginning of the year, Ceragon has secured orders for
a number of deployment projects across Brazil worth tens of millions of
dollars.

    Considering the network evolution and demand for more capacity, Ceragon
will introduce FibeAir IP-10 radios with future proof IP features and higher
throughput. Ceragon will also ship its Evolution Long Haul products for
long-haul applications - and in addition, provide full turnkey services to
design and deploy a network spanning several hundred "hops".

    "Our continued success with a leading regional operator, and the
integration of our FibeAir IP-10 short-haul solutions for the first time
into its network, reaffirm our customer's confidence in our solutions
offering," said Ira Palti, President and CEO of Ceragon Networks. "Ceragon's
quick response time and proven implementation performance played a major
role in our selection. We are pleased to work with major operators who are
rapidly expanding their service coverage in Brazil, and thereby strengthen
our position in this important market."

    Ceragon's high-capacity solutions will expand the reach and capacity of
a national Brazilian backhaul network. In addition to new installations,
Ceragon systems will also be used to upgrade legacy TDM microwave links to
IP/Ethernet - across the entire network. Easy to install and maintain, the
Ceragon solutions feature future-proof design for simple, cost-efficient
upgrades and faster return on investment.
