Airgo Networks Ships One Million True MIMO-TM- Wireless Chips

Airgo Networks, pioneer and world leader of MIMO (multiple input/multiple output) technology, the foundation for next generation Wi-Fi, today announced it has now shipped over
one million True MIMO(TM) chips. This impressive milestone was achieved in
less than one quarter of retail market availability for True MIMO-enabled OEM
products and reflects the momentum that Airgo has gained as the pioneer and
sole market provider of MIMO OFDM -- the key technology in every proposal for
the future IEEE 802.11n standard.

Airgo and its revolutionary True MIMO wireless chipset technology have
recently been recognized with multiple industry awards including PC Magazine's
Technical Excellence Award, EE Times Best in Class Development Team, Fierce
Wireless Top 15 Emerging Wi-Fi Companies for 2005, and LAPTOP Magazine Mobile
Innovation Award for Wi-Fi in 2004. Additionally, earlier in the year Airgo
was selected by Always ON and KPMG as one of the Top 100 Innovative Companies,
and voted Best of Show by the audience at Mobile Showcase.

"Our mission at Airgo is to remove the limits and frustrations of the
wireless technology that has become so essential to today's lifestyle," said
Greg Raleigh, president and CEO of Airgo Networks. "Consumers no longer need
to tolerate spotty networking connectivity and limited applications
capability. With the True MIMO products developed at Airgo, consumers can now
choose wireless that simply works, reliably and without worry, throughout the
home and office. The incredible retail adoption rate is a clear sign that
consumers have been starving for this kind of wireless product value. We are
proud to be the ones to satisfy the need by originating the unstoppable
wireless industry revolution toward MIMO products."

Pioneered by Airgo Networks' founders more than nine years ago, MIMO OFDM
technology delivers the best performance advantages possible for today's
wireless applications. With True MIMO, speed, range and reliability are
multiplied by leveraging multiple reflections of a radio signal to create a
multitude of powerful and reliable communication channels. Products based on
Airgo True MIMO create a robust wireless connection over a large coverage area
with the bandwidth and quality of service needed to run advanced applications
reliably throughout a home or office.

"Belkin is the first to bring the advantages of Airgo's True MIMO chipset
technology to the consumer. As demonstrated by independent reviews in multiple
publications such as PC World, CNET and PC Magazine, Belkin Wireless Pre-N
Networking with True MIMO offers customers the best performing Wi-Fi solutions
on the market today," said Eric Tong, Vice President of Marketing and Product
Development for Belkin. "This incredible chipset technology is single-handedly
moving the Wi-Fi market into the future by removing barriers, such as spotty
coverage, while also enabling exciting home entertainment networking
applications that were not possible with previous generation technology."
