Default GigaBeam Announces Further Expansion to Australian Market Following Additional Order for Latest Next Generation Wireless Product

Company Continues Expansion in Tech-Forward Economic Centers Across
the Globe and Shows Continued Growth From Robust Customers Base

DURHAM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GigaBeam Corporation (NASDAQ:GGBM),
deploying WiFiber® "wireless fiber optics" technology to economic
centers across the globe, announced today that it has received an
order for three 100 megabit WiFiber links from Australia-based GMG
Solutions, a wireless network company that is the Australian
distributor of GigaBeam's WiFiber line of products.

GigaBeam's recently launched WiFiber® G-Series 100 megabit product
offering is essential to the Company's strategic plan to provide a one-
stop solution for major metropolitan centers where backbone transport
solutions are required along with lower speed technologies to serve as
access to customer premises. The lower price point of this product is
expected to significantly drive demand for the Company's products.
This 100 Megabit product as well as the Company's Gigabit product are
complimentary to and will benefit from the rollout of next generation
WiMAX and 4G technologies.

"Australia provides us with ample opportunities for growth," said
Louis Slaughter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GigaBeam. "We
feel confident that we can take advantage of these opportunities with
our strategic partner GMG Solutions. This sale is also an excellent
example of the additional revenues that can be derived from our
expanded product line."

GigaBeam's WiFiber technology is similar to terrestrial fiber in terms
of speed and reliability. WiFiber has a substantial advantage over
terrestrial fiber because it can be rapidly deployed and costs
significantly less to deploy than terrestrial fiber. Terrestrial fiber
can take months to deploy and also require significant regulatory and
environmental approvals prior to installation.

The first network utilizing the WiFiber 100 megabit product was
established by One Velocity, Inc., a next generation Wireless Local
Exchange Carrier with operations based in Las Vegas and with plans to
expand into the Western United States. One Velocity recently ordered
24 WiFiber links including five links from the new product offering
for their network in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. For updates in

GigaBeam WiFiber products operate in the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz upper
millimeter wave spectrum bands. The Federal Communications Commission
and the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications
Administrations (CEPT) and certain other countries for licensed
wireless commercial use have authorized this portion of the spectrum.
