TORONTO, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Redline Communications Group Inc. (TSX and AIM: RDL), a leading provider of standards-based WiMAX and broadband wireless infrastructure products, today announced that Divona Telecom, a leading satellite and WiMAX telecom operator in Tunisia, has chosen Redline's WiMAX Forum Certified(TM) RedMAX(TM) products for its five-city WiMAX network.

Redline's high capacity RedMAX(TM) AN100U base stations and indoor and outdoor subscriber units were chosen after an extensive three-month trial period that involved several WiMAX vendors. The US$1 million network buildout will take place in several phases over the next two years, and will connect five major cities in Tunisia, including Tunis, Nabeul, Souse, Monastir and Sfax. Divona Telecom is already serving several hundred corporations on its WiMAX network.

"Divona is the broadband business partner of choice in Tunisia", said M. Mohamed Garbouj, General Manager, Divona Telecom. "Our premier business partners depend on us to deliver reliable, high-speed, uninterruptable fixed and nomadic voice, video and data services throughout this region, and our existing infrastructure - a combination of VSAT and incumbent operator copper lines - prevented us from meeting this mandate."

Mr. Garbouj continued, "By deploying Redline's WiMAX Forum Certified solutions, we've taken active measures to increase our network's capacity, features and reliability. To date, we have several hundred WiMAX customers, and plan to double our subscriber base every quarter for the next four years, exceeding our four-year ROI goal."

"Redline is recognized worldwide as a leader in WiMAX technology and deployments, with well over 130 trials and 44 revenue-generating commercial deployments," said Majed Sifri, Chief Executive Officer, Redline Communications. "Redline is also leading the industry in the development and deployment of open WiMAX systems that enable operators to easily incorporate RedMAX with their existing networks or to establish new carrier-class networks that will enable them to easily expand their services and networks over time."

Divona Telecom is the latest example of a major carrier in a key emerging market that has advanced from a comprehensive trial of WiMAX systems to a commercial, revenue generating network using Redline's RedMAX products.
