     In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the
following:

     (a)  Telaxis' Restated Articles of Organization, as amended to date,
          including the Articles of Amendment filed with the Secretary of The
          Commonwealth of Massachusetts on July 7, 2003 with an effective date
          of July 9, 2003 at 6:00 p.m. and the Articles of Amendment filed with
          the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts on July 7, 2003
          with an effective date of July 9, 2003 at 6:01 p.m.;

     (b)  Telaxis' Amended and Restated By-laws;

     (c)  the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date;

     (d)  the Company's By-laws;

     (e)  the Merger Agreement;

     (f)  the Articles of Merger filed pursuant to the Merger Agreement with the
          Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts on July 7, 2003 with an
          effective date of July 9, 2003 at 7:00 p.m.;

     (g)  the Certificate of Merger filed pursuant to the Merger Agreement with
          the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 7, 2003 with
          an effective date of July 9, 2003 at 7:00 p.m.;

     In addition, we have examined and relied on the originals or copies
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of all such other records,
documents and instruments of the Company, Telaxis, and such other persons, and
we have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a
basis for the opinions expressed below.

     We have made such examination of Massachusetts law, federal law, and the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as we have deemed necessary for
the purpose of this opinion. We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the United States of America, The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and, as to its General Corporation Law, the State of Delaware.

     We have assumed for purposes of this opinion that the certifications in the
foregoing documents were true and correct when delivered and remain true and
correct.

     We assume that all Shares to be issued pursuant to the Plans will be issued
in accordance with the terms of the Plans and that the purchase price of the
Shares will be greater than or equal to the par value per share of the Shares.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares,
when issued and delivered pursuant to the Plans and against the receipt of the
purchase price therefor, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     This opinion is to be used only in connection with the offer and sale of
the Shares while the Registration Statements are in effect.

     Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth
herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Current Report in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of
Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.



                                                        Very truly yours,
