                                 Economic Center

Ottawa, Canada, November 21, 2006 - DragonWave Inc., a global supplier of next-
generation wireless networks, today announced that Computer Data Networks has
deployed DragonWave’s AirPair fixed wireless solution in the Emirate of Dubai.
DragonWave’s technology provides wireless backhaul links for delivering Internet
Protocol (IP) Video services such as closed circuit television (CCTV) between Dubai’s
state-of-the-art Police Command and Control Center.

Computer Data Networks of Kuwait, the region’s leading provider of local and wide area
networks and security integration services, was commissioned by Siemens FSS, the
prime contractor, to install a rugged and reliable wireless network to carry IP traffic for
video surveillance systems. DragonWave’s AirPair solution is an essential element of
the Dubai wireless network project.

“Dubai visitors and residents expect a level of public safety that can only be assured by
the most sophisticated and reliable of IT infrastructures,” said Dejan Nikolin, Marketing
Manager of Computer Data Networks. “DragonWave’s wireless backhaul links,
providing throughput of up to 400 Megabits-per-second, perform flawlessly in the heat
and humidity of this region, ensuring a world-class police force and surveillance system
in Dubai.”

The project presented numerous challenges that DragonWave was able to overcome:
   • The network needed to cover over 800 square kilometres spanning the entire
      Emirate of Dubai.
   • The network needed to accommodate multiple frequencies, redundant backbone
      links and advanced monitoring and management.
   • Dubai’s climate is extremely hot, with high levels of humidity and corrosive sea
      air.
   • Video IP transmission requires very low latency, guaranteed Quality of Service
      (QoS) and high reliability.

“Networking the Dubai Police department allowed us to show that AirPair is able to meet
the challenge posed by their stringent requirements,” said Peter Allen, president and
CEO of DragonWave.         “Once again DragonWave has been able to offer an
environmentally hardened solution to cost effectively backhaul a high-speed data
network in a fraction of the time at a fraction of the cost of a fibre solution.”

DragonWave's AirPair wireless backhaul solution operates within both licensed and
unlicensed radio frequencies of 11-to-38-GHz range, ensuring interference-free
performance for customers' traffic. AirPair provides scalable, ultra-low latency, wire-
speed native Ethernet connectivity up to 500 Megabits-per-second (Mbps) full duplex.
The system is extremely easy to deploy and manage, with a full suite of network
management options. AirPair has indoor and outdoor deployment options, and is a
highly reliable platform enabling 99.999% service availability.
