P-Com Receives $2 Million Order From Leading Wireless Carrier in Latin America 


CAMPBELL, Calif., March 1  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- P-Com, Inc.  (BULLETIN
BOARD: PCOM) , a worldwide provider of wireless telecom products and services,
today announced that it has received a $2 million order for its advanced,
point-to-point radios from a leading wireless telecom operator in Latin
America.

The order is for P-Com's Encore Plus, a variable bandwidth, digital microwave
radio that facilitates high-speed voice, data and video transmissions across a
network.

"Encore Plus is an innovative, technically superior product that continues to be
well-received in the marketplace," said P-Com President and CEO Sam Smookler. 
"We're pleased to be making progress inselling our products in Latin America,
one of our target markets and one of the fastest growing telecom markets in the
world today."

The base Indoor Unit (IDU) for Encore Plus is the same for all bit rate options.
The Outdoor Unit (ODU) follows the same configuration format as the IDU,
automatically self-configuring itself to conform to the bit rate set by the IDU.
Being able to provide different transmission options to the operator, Encore
Plus allows simple and affordable network management.

By contrast, current PDH solutions offer either low capacity (less than or equal
to 4xT1/E1) or high capacity (greater than 4xT1/E1) as separate hardware
solutions.  As throughput needs change, end users are thus forced to replace or
upgrade hardware to accommodate the new requirements.

Also available in a protected configuration, Encore Plus can be controlled by
P-Com's Link Manager or via SNMP. Encore Plus is fully compliant with ITU, ETSI,
EN and FCC specifications.
