FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DRAGONWAVE SELECTED TO SUPPORT BLUE WIRELESS NETWORK EXPANSION

Horizon Compact+ and Quantum combined with Bandwidth Accelerator deliver unmatched scalability.

Ottawa, Canada, September 28, 2016 - DragonWave Inc. (TSX: DWI; NASDAQ: DRWI) a global supplier of packet microwave radio systems, today announced that mobile operator Blue Wireless has ordered 100 Horizon Compact+ and Horizon Quantum packet microwave radio links currently being deployed as part of its ongoing network expansion.

With DragonWave’s Bandwidth Accelerator payload compression technology deployed across the network, Blue Wireless is able to gain 40% greater capacity per channel than alternative solutions, allowing for multi-gigabit capacity for core and access links.

“Our evaluation of microwave radios was thorough and based on finding a fiber-equivalent solution with the scalability to meet our growing capacity demands,” said Eric Wong VP of Engineering and Network Operation at Blue Wireless. “DragonWave’s Horizon Compact+ and Horizon Quantum demonstrated the performance and reliability required to maintain the highest quality of service for our growing customer base.”

Based in New York State, Blue Wireless offers nationwide coverage and is committed to the ongoing examination and improvement of its network as capacity demands increase.  By leveraging DragonWave’s ring architecture capability Blue Wireless is building out a cost-effective and highly resilient, carrier-grade backhaul network with the scalability and fiber-equivalent performance needed to meet its current and future expansion requirements.

“Horizon Compact+ and Quantum are uniquely positioned in the market as powerful, easily installed systems that offer mobile operators a cost-effective solution that can scale to their growth,” said Peter Allen, CEO, DragonWave. “We know that Blue Wireless will continue to achieve the performance and reliability DragonWave customers have come to expect, and we look forward to supporting them in their ongoing network expansion.”
