[http://www.ceragon.com/investor_relations.asp ]), the #1 wireless backhaul specialist,
today announced that it has won orders for high-capacity wireless backhaul point-to-point
and point-to-multipoint solutions and last mile equipment from the Florida Rural Broadband

facilitate a cost-efficient network set-up and fast ROI," said Ira Palti, Ceragon's
President and CEO. "The combination of Ceragon's technology and expertise will enable the
FRBA to provide high-capacity, broadband services directly to these underserved
communities in Florida, helping to stimulate the economy there."

high-capacity performance, the superior quality of their technology, and the company's
experience and expertise," said Gina Reynolds, CEO of Florida's Heartland REDI, Inc. and
Co-Manager of Florida Rural Broadband Alliance. "Ceragon was able to lower the total cost
of ownership of our network, while enabling us to deliver services faster."
