    Ceragon Networks Ltd. [http://www.ceragon.com ] (NASDAQ: CRNT), the #1 wireless
backhaul specialist, today introduced the newest additions to its FibeAir IP-20 product
series. FibeAir IP-20A [http://www.ceragon.com/na/newproduct.asp?ID=113 ] and FibeAir

    Ceragon will demonstrate its new compact, high power solutions at CTIA Wireless
[http://www.ctia2013.com ], May 21-23, 2013, booth #2270.

    The NEBS-compliant FibeAir IP-20A features an enhanced version of Ceragon's powerful
RFU-A - a small footprint, all-indoor radio, which provides 6dB of additional Tx power.
Ideal for secure, long distance network deployments with demanding rack-space
requirements, FibeAir IP-20A offers unmatched resiliency, dramatically increases link
distance and allows the use of smaller antennas without compromising link performance. In
addition, this expandable solution offers versatile usage of rack-space enabling 1+1/ 2+0
in only 2RU; up to 4+0 in only 3RU; and fully protected 2+2 or 4+0 installations including
all networking and control functions in 4RU only. The compact, all-indoor FibeAir IP-20A
is the first in a series of North American solutions which will include a wireless
multi-technology node for multi-carrier, split-mount and E/V-band deployments.

    FibeAir IP-20C HP is a high power North American version of Ceragon's multi-core
solution for all-outdoor applications. This unique solution allows for high
carrier-density installations in a small form factor in the 6-11 GHz spectrum bands.
Employing Ceragon's in-house RF and modem chip design, FibeAir IP-20C HP delivers 1.3Gbps
over 80MHz channels. In 30MHz channels the solution delivers 1Gbps using 4x4 MIMO
technology. Doubling the capacity over any channel bandwidth at half the power
consumption, it can significantly reduce network operators' TCO while ensuring high
quality, capacity and reliability in long distance installations. FibeAir IP-20C HP is in
deployment with a number of US-based service providers to carry high-speed wireless
broadband and 4G/LTE traffic.

    FibeAir IP-20A and IP-20C HP are the latest implementations of Ceragon's Holistic
HetNet Hauling [http://www.ceragon.com/newsolution.asp?ID=28 ] (3H) vision. 3H combines
technologies, equipment and services to address the disruptive change in mobile network
paradigms, and their evolution towards data-driven, 4G/LTE-A HetNets (heterogeneous
networks).

    "Our commitment to the North American market is demonstrated in the solutions we are
introducing today," said Ira Palti, President and CEO of Ceragon. "Our expanded FibeAir
IP-20 product series which features the most compact, high power radios in the industry
answers the unique requirements of North American network operators for high capacity
wireless hauling that can facilitate the expansion of 4G/LTE. Our growing North American
customer base can now benefit from a versatile set of solutions for a wide variety of
deployment scenarios. The feedback we have received from initial deployments and ongoing
customer trials is extremely positive, and we look forward to presenting the platform to
additional operators throughout the year."
