Press Release

BOLTON, MA, April 4, 2002 - Amaranth Networks Inc. announced today that it had completed certification with Agere Systems, Inc. to become a Certified Reseller of wireless networking equipment. Agere is the leading manufacturer and developer of wireless Ethernet solutions in the world under the Orinoco brand name. Agere requires companies to go through extensive training before granting them Certified Reseller status.

As a Agere Certified Reseller, Amaranth can provide its clients with a wide range of wireless networking solutions, which can be used to link computers of companies and individuals miles apart or just across the street. Having passed the certification process permits Amaranth to design, test and install outdoor wireless networks, utilizing Amaranth's highly trained staff and a firm understanding of both radio technology and networking fundamentals.

"Agere products, like the Orinoco line of wireless routers and controllers, let companies quickly and easily set up secure networks without having to run cables, and do not require any special licenses. However, installation of these systems is tricky, which is why Agere's certification program is a critical part of ensuring that such wireless networks are properly designed and installed," stated Daniel Senie, president of Amaranth Networks.

Amaranth Networks can deploy wireless networks for as little as $2000, in corporate, campus and community environments. The company is presently working on designs for public access and enterprise networks for clients, as well as island wide wireless networks in the Caribbean.
