Solectek 1st Quarter Revenues Increase 48%; Ships Industry's Highest Powered WiMAX Base Station at 4 Watts/200 EIRP

LAS VEGAS, NV -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/02/08 -- Solectek Corporation, a San Diego manufacturer of broadband and public safety wireless equipment, announced at the International Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE) and International Security Conference (ISC West) shows the company's latest WiMAX Base Station and Indoor Controller. The company also reported that 2008 first quarter revenues increased 48% over the same period in 2007, with March sales especially strong due to sales in the wireless multipoint sector and video surveillance market. In addition, Solectek shipped WiMAX systems to Brazil and the U.S. during the quarter.

The SkyWay-MAX Base Station (model ODB-3436) is capable of an industry-leading 4 Watts and 200 EIRP, which ultimately provides a superior ROI to wireless internet service providers and other carriers seeking excellent range and throughput for subscribers. Complementing the company's outdoor Base Station is the Indoor Controller (model IDC-100). The IDC-100's design provides easy installation and maximum flexibility for carriers via a wide array of affordable modular cards that can be mixed and matched to suit the needs of a particular WiMAX base site. The cards include support for up to eight antenna sectors, GPS synchronization, failover capability and also a self-contained Indoor Controller Manager.

"We designed our Base Station and Indoor Controller with input from leading carriers concerned with protecting their investment in WiMAX for years to come," said Todd Easterling, Vice President of Corporate Development and Marketing for Solectek Corporation. "By providing a simple yet powerful chassis and card design, our WiMAX platform gives customers the ability to start their WiMAX rollout with as little as one Base Station sector and gradually grow their network as their customer base expands. Carriers can customize each Base Station site to suit the requirements of their subscriber network at any given time, and avoid obsolescing components. In fact, even our Base Station sectoral antennas can be reconfigured as additional subscribers come on line, simply by adjusting beam width from 45 to 120 degrees. The end result is a complete end-to-end WiMAX platform that grows as the carrier's business grows. This inherent scalability, combined with Base Station power that is two to four times that of most competitors, enables WISPs to roll out WiMAX with less up front investment."

Solectek's WiMAX Base Station & Indoor Controller include the following features:

-- Flexible support for 3.5 and 7 MHz channel bandwidths and options that include a broad array of frequency bands (e. g., 3.5 GHz, 3.65 GHz, 5.47 to 5.85 GHz, etc.). -- A 4U rack-height chassis designed to support various Base Station designs from one to eight sectors. Carriers can mix and match cards or purchase pre-built, pre-tested common chassis configurations. -- Uplink card used to aggregate data and power from the Base Station ASN gateway site and deliver it to Solectek's outdoor Base Station units. -- GPS kit to synchronize multiple base sites via satellite signals. -- Advanced Indoor Controller Manager, a self-contained computer that provides management access to all of the indoor controller functions. Access is provided by Solectek's SkyWay-MAX Manager which includes an easy- to-use graphical user interface application. In addition, Solectek's EMS application or Telnet/SSH CLI interface may be used. -- Optional failover switching for optimum reliability and subscriber uptime.
