MONTREAL, April 4  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SR Telecom(TM) Inc. (TSX: SRX;
Nasdaq: SRXA) announced that it has received purchase orders valued at
approximately CDN$11 million from Siemens for the ongoing Telefonica TRAC
initiative. Telefonica, a leading international telecommunications operator,
originally selected SR Telecom's angel(TM) over a number of competing
technologies for an extensive multi-service Broadband Fixed Wireless Access
(BFWA) network. The new orders are for the WiMAX-ready symmetry(TM) solution,
which Telefonica intends to use for the rest of the TRAC deployment. The TRAC
initiative will deliver high quality voice and high-speed data to suburban and
rural areas throughout the country; ultimately, approximately 100,000 lines
will be deployed.

"These large orders are very significant, as they signal the acceleration of
the TRAC deployment," said Pierre St-Arnaud, SR Telecom's President and Chief
Executive Officer. "Additionally, we are very pleased that Telefonica has
determined that SR Telecom's symmetry platform can best meet its broadband
access requirements. symmetry is a scalable, field-proven solution that can be
immediately deployed, and also provides Telefonica with a seamless migration
path to WiMAX-certified sectors once they become available. We look forward to
the further deployment of this important access project in the months to come."

  Deliveries are scheduled to commence immediately.
