FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DRAGONWAVE RECEIVES FIRST DIRECT ORDER FROM EDING TELECOM FOR HARMONY ENHANCED

Ottawa, Canada, April 19, 2016 - DragonWave Inc. (TSX: DWI; NASDAQ: DRWI) a global supplier of packet microwave radio systems, today announced it has received a first direct order from an existing customer, Eding Telecom, who previously purchased FlexiPacket MultiRadio (FPMR) though a channel. The order from the Bosnian system integrator for third-generation, all-outdoor Harmony Enhanced packet microwave radios marks the beginning of a joint direct commercial relationship and a transition to DragonWave next generation technology.

The Harmony Enhanced radios will be deployed to expand an existing FlexiPacket MultiRadio based data transport network, operated by a major utility company JP Elektroprivreda BiH, providing electricity to customers in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Selection of the Harmony Enhanced platform was based upon its superior spectral efficiency, RF performance and inherent technological capabilities needed to meet operators’ future requirements. In addition to supplying Harmony Enhanced radios, the project includes an upgrade of DragonWave’s’ NetViewer to provide a single network management platform supporting our legacy radio platforms and next generation microwave systems..

“There are advantages for us to extend our relationship with DragonWave by establishing direct commercial ties,” said Mr. Maid Turčinović, CEO, Eding Telecom. “The Harmony Enhanced fills a critical role in our network expansion plans, and provides advanced technology that assures our customers will continue to receive reliable, high quality service today and for the future.”

Harmony Enhanced allows operators to cost effectively scale networks with the industry’s leading system gain, highest spectral efficiency and increased capacity.  The Enhanced platform provides FPMR customers the benefits of being able to reuse existing antennas, cabling, and powering solutions to minimize sparing and inventory costs of adding a new platform to their network.

“We are pleased to continue our relationship with Eding Telecom now directly and for the first time we are supplying them with Harmony Enhanced,” said Peter Allen, President and CEO, DragonWave. “We are confident that they see differential benefit from this platform.”
