GGBM News GigaBeam to Present at Paulson Investment's 29th Annual Westergaard Smallcap Conference

HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GigaBeam Corporation (NASDAQ:GGBM) announced today that Lou Slaughter, Chairman and CEO, will present at the Westergaard Smallcap Conference sponsored by Paulson Investment Company, Inc. and Dutton Associates.

            WHEN:     November 6, 2006
            WHERE:    Waldorf-Astoria
                      New York, NY
            TIME:     10:10AM, 11:55AM, 3:15PM, 5:00PM
            WHO:      Lou Slaughter, Chairman and CEO

GigaBeam WiFiber products operate in the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz radio spectrum bands. This portion of the radio frequency spectrum has been authorized by the Federal Communications Commission and the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) for wireless point-to-point commercial use. Use of these frequency bands for commercial use was pioneered by GigaBeam’s founders.

GigaBeam’s technology, utilizing these large blocks of authorized contiguous spectrum, enables multi-Gigabit-per-second communications through use of Gigabit Ethernet and other standard protocols. The current speed achieved by GigaBeam’s WiFiber G-1.25 product series is full duplex at one Gigabit-per-second (equivalent to 647 T1 lines or 1,000 DSL connections) which supports GigE protocol. GigaBeam previously announced its WiFiber G-2.7 series, to be released in Q4, 2006 and generally available in Q1, 2007, which will operate at 2.7 Gbps. The protocols to be supported by the G-2.7 product series include 2 x GigE (2 x 1 Gbps); OC-48 / STM-16 (2.488 Gbps); SMPTE 292M (1.485 Gbps) and both 1 and 2 Gbps fiber channel. GigaBeam also plans deployment of future products capable of 10 Gigabits-per-second utilizing either the 10 Gigabit Ethernet or OC-192 protocol standards.

GigaBeam’s WiFiber technology is similar to terrestrial fiber in terms of speed and reliability for deployment in Metropolitan Area Networks (MANS). However, WiFiber has a substantial advantage over terrestrial fiber because WiFiber can be deployed in a day and costs less to deploy than terrestrial fiber. Terrestrial fiber can take months to deploy and also require significant regulatory and environmental approvals prior to installation.
