Airspan Receives Notification Regarding Non-Compliance With Nasdaq's Minimum Bid Price Requirement

BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - April 28, 2008) - Airspan Networks Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRN), a leading worldwide provider of WiMAX broadband wireless access networks, today announced that on April 25, 2008, it received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market advising that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company's common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) (the "Rule"). This notification has no effect on the listing of the common stock at this time.

Nasdaq stated in its letter that in accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until October 22, 2008, to regain compliance. If, at any time before October 22, 2008, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that it has achieved compliance with the Rule.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule by October 22, 2008, Nasdaq will provide written notification that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal to the Nasdaq's determination to delist its securities to a Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel"). The Company may also apply to transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market if it satisfies the requirements for initial inclusion set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c). If the Company's application is approved, the Company will be afforded the remainder of this market's second 180 calendar day compliance period in order to regain compliance while on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company intends to monitor the bid price for its common stock and consider options available to the Company to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.
