FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DRAGONWAVE INC. ADVANCES IN THE CISCO DEVELOPER NETWORK AS A SOLUTION DEVELOPER AND COMPLETES CISCO INTEROPERABILITY VERIFICATION TESTING

Ottawa, Canada,  August 17, 2011  — DragonWave Inc. (TSX: DWI; NASDAQ: DRWI) announced that it has advanced in the Cisco Developer Network as a Solution Developer within the Active Network Abstraction platform, Network and Services Management technology category. In addition, DragonWave’s Horizon Compact and Quantum have successfully completed interoperability testing with Cisco’s MWR 2941 Mobile Wireless Router solution.

The Cisco Developer Network unites Cisco with third-party developers of hardware and software to deliver tested interoperable solutions to joint customers. As a Solution Developer, who shares Cisco’s strong commitment to customer service and satisfaction, DragonWave has completed interoperability verification testing based on  criteria set forth by Cisco, and can provide its customers 24-hour, 7-days-a-week customer support. With offerings such as Horizon Compact and Quantum, customers can more quickly deploy a broad range of Cisco-compatible business applications, devices, or services that enhance the capabilities, performance, and management of their Cisco network.  For more information on DragonWave’s Horizon Compact and Quantum interoperability with Cisco’s MWR 2941 and Active Network Abstraction platforms go to DragonWave’s Cisco Developer web page.
