Vyyo Enters Into a Definitive Agreement for $25 Million of Financing From Goldman, Sachs & Co.

21 March 2006

Vyyo Inc. (Nasdaq: VYYO), a global supplier of broadband access equipment for cable and private wireless broadband network solutions, announced today a definitive agreement for $25 million equity and long term debt from Goldman, Sachs & Co


This funding will provide Vyyo with increased resources and flexibility as it scales its business in the U.S. Vyyo's proprietary technologies provide three solutions to the cable and utility industries:


* Vyyo's spectrum overlay allows cable companies to substantially increase


bandwidth to fiber-like performance, using existing infrastructure and


at a fraction of the cost to build new fiber networks.


* Vyyo's T1 solution allows cable companies to tap into the lucrative


small and medium sized business and cellular backhaul segments, again


using existing infrastructure and at minimal cost.


* Vyyo's wireless technology allows utility companies to build expansive


wireless networks that can be used to monitor operations and to deliver


high-speed internet access to rural America.


"We regard Goldman Sachs' investment as a strong endorsement of our vision, our groundbreaking technology and the market opportunities in the cable and utility industries," said Davidi Gilo, Chairman and CEO of Vyyo. "Vyyo's technology is uniquely designed to allow cable system operators to meet the challenge of telco triple-play deployments head-on with dramatically increased bandwidth for new and faster residential and business services. For utility companies, our technology greatly enhances their performance metrics and introduces new market possibilities.


"Goldman Sachs has a track record of identifying high-potential technology companies, and supporting them with strategic advice as they grow," Mr. Gilo added. "Its financial involvement combined with its counsel and expertise will help Vyyo achieve its strategic objectives in 2006 and beyond."


Stewart Rauner and Jonathan Kalman of Katalyst LLC served as exclusive financial advisors to Vyyo with regard to the transaction.


About Vyyo Inc.


Vyyo provides cable and wireless broadband access solutions. Our products are designed for use by cable television and telecommunication operators, wireless internet service providers (ISPs), utilities and enterprise. Our cable solutions include cable system spectrum overlay solutions designed to expand cable operators' typical HFC (hybrid-fiber coax) network capacity in the "last mile" by up to 2x in the downstream and up to 10x in the upstream, addressing bandwidth demand for T1 and other advanced services. Our wireless broadband solutions enable utilities and other customers to operate private wireless networks for communications to their remote assets and customers. Typical applications include high-speed internet services, SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition), voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and telephony (T1/E1), all based on modified Data Over Cable System Interface Specification (DOCSIS(R)) technology.

Statements made in this press release relating to the future, including those related to our use of the proceeds from such transaction in helping us achieve our strategic objectives in 2006 and beyond and the opportunities created for our customers given our ability to provide spectrum overlay and wired and wireless T1 solutions and our ability to dramatically increase upstream and downstream bandwidth, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
