CTIA WIRELESS 2001

LAS VEGAS & MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2001

AirNet Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:ANCC), the technology leader in base station products for wireless communication, will be exhibiting its broadband, software-defined base station solution at the CTIA Wireless 2001 Convention and Exposition (booth #1839) March 20-22 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In addition, Dr. Lee Hamilton, president and CEO at AirNet, will be present during the three-day event and available to discuss a variety of wireless communications and wireless Internet topics, including:

-- The AirNet(R) Super Capacity(TM) Base Station and Adaptive Array Solution
Technology and cost hurdles have played a key role in stalling the transition
to the wireless Internet. Urban areas are running out of capacity, and
operators must get more capacity from their existing frequencies. The only real
option available today is with the AirNet(R) AdaptaCell(TM) Super Capacity(TM)
solution. AirNet has partnered with ArrayComm to offer the industry's first
super capacity base station using adaptive array technology. This
software-defined solution, which provides twice the capacity and twice the data
rate of existing base stations, achieves extraordinary gains in spectral
efficiency by focusing radio signals on individual handset antennas instead of
broadcasting them throughout the cell. Without products like this, many
operators will not have enough capacity to deploy wireless Internet services.

-- The AirNet(R) GPRS Solution The news out of the recent GSM World Congress
was that third generation (3G) implementation could be years away in most
countries. In the mean time, more and more operators will be turning to GPRS to
provide wireless Internet services. AirNet has recently announced the
deployment of one of the first GPRS solutions in the US, and has successfully
shown that it's equipment can support full speed GPRS, and is today, putting
operators on the path to high-speed data services and ultimately the wireless
Internet.

-- AirNet - The Base Station Technology Leader AirNet is a leader in wireless
base stations and other telecommunications equipment that enables operators to
cost-effectively offer high-speed wireless Internet and voice services to
mobile subscribers.

AirNet is the base station technology leader, with:

-- The Only Base Station with a Software Upgrade Path to the Wireless

Internet

-- The Only Base Station Which Offers Twice the Capacity and Twice

the Data Rate, and

-- The Only Base Station That Provides Cost-Effective Coverage

The company's patented broadband, software-defined AdaptaCell(TM) base station solution provides a high-capacity base station with a software upgrade path to the wireless Internet. The Company's AirSite(R) Backhaul Free(TM) base station carries wireless voice and data signals back to the wireline network, eliminating the need for a physical backhaul link, thus reducing operating costs.

AirNet has 69 patents issued or pending and has received the coveted World Award for Best Technical Innovation from the GSM Association, representing over 400 operators around the world.

The company has averaged more than double revenue growth each of the past four years. In addition, the company continues to receive extremely positive reaction to its products and remains well positioned for strong growth in the larger operator and international segments. Recent customer announcements include two GPRS agreements, and five agreements with major operators throughout the world, including one in North America.
