P-COM RENEWS CREDIT FACILITY WITH
SILICON VALLEY BANK
________________________________________________________________________
 
CAMPBELL, CA (Sept. xx23, 2004) - P-Com, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PCMC), a worldwide provider of broadband wireless access products and services to carriers, commercial enterprises and government agencies, today announced that Silicon Valley Bank has renewed its credit facility for an additional year. The credit facility for working capital purposes allows for borrowings of up to $4.0 million.
 
P-Com entered into a 364-day credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (NASDAQ:SIVB) in September 2002, and it has been renewed for the past two years. P-Com’s tangible and intangible assets secure borrowings under the facility.
 
"The renewal of our line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank provides the company with additional liquidity, and gives us greater flexibility to pursue opportunities in the marketplace as we aggressively focus on developing and marketing our products," said P-Com Acting CFO Daniel Rumsey. "We’re pleased that Silicon Valley Bank continues to be such a committed financial partner."

This renewal is the latest significant step that P-com has taken to strengthen its balance sheet. During the past two years, P-Com has executed a comprehensive financial restructuring that has eliminated a substantial portion of its short-term debt and all of its long-term debt, significantly reduced expenses, and disposed of certain non-performing assets and business units.

Safe Harbor Statement
Statements that are forward looking and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties may cause P-Com’s actual results in future periods to be materially different from any future performance that may be suggested in this news release. Such factors may include, but are not limited to: the ability to achieve positive cash flow given the Company’s existing and anticipated operating and other costs and current sales trends; the Company’s cash position and its need to raise additional capital, and whether that capital is available on acceptable terms, if at all; the Company’s ability to negotiate payment terms with its creditors, including its equipment lease vendors, and settle outstanding litigation; the continued intense competition from leading telecommunications equipment and technology suppliers resulting in lower average selling prices; fluctuations in customer demand; reliance upon subcontractors; the ability of P-Com’s customers to finance their purchases; the timing of new technology and product introductions; and the risk of early obsolescence. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond P-Com’s control. Reference is made to the discussion of risk factors detailed in P-Com’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including its reports on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K.
