Mining Company in Philippines Deploys RADWIN Wireless Broadband Systems

RADWIN Solutions Enable Video, Data and Voice Services to the Company's Offices and Remote Sites, Operating Over Long Distances & in Extreme Weather

TEL AVIV, Israel, July 17, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    RADWIN (http://www.radwin.com), the global provider of Backhaul and Broadband
Wireless solutions, today announced that the Xstrata Sagittarius Mining Company in the
Philippines deployed the RADWIN 2000 point-to-point systems to connect its offices and
provide voice and data backhaul between the offices and tower relay sites. RADWIN's
systems are also used for video surveillance, providing video transmission from the tower
sites back to company headquarters for enhanced security monitoring. Diagnostic-Orthogon
Systems, a leading system integrator in the Philippines, was responsible for project
design and implementation.

    Jake Laguerder, Head of IT at Xstrata Mining: "We chose RADWIN's solutions because
they deliver TDM and Ethernet in one system. The solutions empower us to establish our own
backbone network instead of leasing lines from telcos, thus significantly reducing our
costs. RADWIN's solutions also deliver real-time video so we can monitor the activity in
each tower site 24/7. Using RADWIN, we have complete control of our network and can easily
and quickly deploy new sites."

    Rene Lebrun, CEO of Diagnotic-Orthogon Systems: "RADWIN's links provide exceptional
carrier-grade performance that places them a cut above other solutions that Xstrata
tested. They operate over extremely long ranges, with some links connecting offices as far
as 50 km/31 miles apart. The links operate in tough weather conditions typical to the area
such as fluctuating temperatures, heavy rainfall and strong winds and they can also be
powered by solar panels which is critical in jungle areas."

    "We are proud to include the Xstrata Mining Company among our customer base," said
Moty Niv, RADWIN's Sales Director, South East Asia. "This latest win is testament to the
effectiveness of our solutions and the exceptional performance and business value they
deliver to customers. In choosing RADWIN, Xstrata was able to cut costs and eliminate
expensive leased lines charges while enjoying a solution that delivers high-quality voice,
video and data services on one link."
