SR TELECOM INTENDS TO FILE FORM 15F
TO TERMINATE SEC REGISTRATION AND REPORTING OBLIGATIONS


MONTRÉAL (QUÉBEC) CANADA November 6, 2007 — SR Telecom Inc. (TSX: SRX), a leading vendor of broadband wireless access solutions through its WiMAX Forum-certified symmetryMX product line, today announced that it intends to file Form 15F with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to terminate the registration of the Company’s class of common shares under section 12(g) as well as its reporting obligations under sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act).

SR Telecom’s reporting obligations with the SEC initiated on August 7, 2003.  The Company’s common shares were listed on the NASDAQ National Market on September 3, 2003 and subsequently de-listed on December 2, 2005.

As the Company does not intend to re-enter the US market, this filing supports a cost containment initiative, implemented in April 2007 to enable SR Telecom to better allocate resources on accelerating product development and improving productivity.

Once the Form 15F filing is complete, SR Telecom’s reporting obligations in the United States will be suspended immediately and will terminate after 90 days of the filing, barring any objections from the SEC.
