TERABEAM WIRELESS ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR ITS SECOND QUARTER 2005

FALLS CHURCH, VA, August 2, 2005 – Terabeam Wireless, the business name of YDI Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ:YDIW), a leading developer and supplier of broadband wireless solutions, today announced its financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2005. These financial results do not include any impact of Terabeam’s acquisition of substantially all the assets of Proxim Corporation, which was completed on July 27, 2005.

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $7.2 million, an increase of approximately 9% from the revenue of $6.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and an increase of approximately 51% from the revenue of $4.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The significant increase in revenue over the prior year’s comparable quarter resulted primarily from three factors: a full quarter of combined operations with the three companies Terabeam Wireless acquired in the later part of the second quarter of 2004; increased demand especially for our point-to-multipoint products, our high frequency radio products, and our component parts business; and increased demand for our software-enhanced product offerings.

The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $987,000 ($0.04 per share-diluted) compared to net loss of $970,000 million ($0.04 per share-diluted) for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and net loss of $1.6 million ($0.10 per share-diluted) for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

As of June 30, 2005, Terabeam Wireless had current assets of approximately $46.0 million, total liabilities of less than $9.0 million, and stockholders’ equity of over $62.0 million.

Robert Fitzgerald, Terabeam’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to announce our third consecutive quarter of sequential growth as well as growth of over 50% from a year ago. We believe that our second quarter performance provides a solid foundation for the combination of our efforts with those of the recently acquired Proxim assets. Over the last year, we have bought back over 5.7 million shares of our stock. We believe that we are well positioned to execute on the leverage provided by the Proxim acquisition and look forward to the challenge.”
