AirNet Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:ANCC), the technology leader in software defined base station products for wireless communications, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the implementation of a reverse stock split of AirNet's common stock based upon a ratio of one-for-ten.

At the annual meeting of stockholders held September 28, 2004, the stockholders of AirNet voted to grant the Board of Directors the authority to effect the reverse stock split of AirNet's common stock.

The record date for the reverse stock split is Wednesday, December 8, 2004 and the split is effective as of the opening of the Nasdaq National Market on Thursday, December 9, 2004. On a pre-split basis, AirNet has 96,037,229 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 2, 2004. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common stock outstanding to approximately 9,603,722. The reverse stock split affects all AirNet Communications common stock, stock options, warrants and senior convertible debt outstanding immediately prior to the record date of the reverse stock split. Instead of issuing any fractional shares as a result of the split, AirNet will make a cash payment equal to the market value of the fraction to which the stockholder otherwise would be entitled.

Stockholders as of the record date will receive instructions for exchanging pre-split old common stock certificates for post-split new common stock certificates from AirNet's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. For more information regarding the reverse stock split, stockholders are urged to review AirNet's Proxy Statement dated September 28, 2004.

In order to indicate to the investment community the effect of the reverse split, the Company's ticker symbol is expected to change to "ANCCD" for twenty trading days after post-split trading begins. AirNet's ticker symbol will revert to its original "ANCC" twenty trading days after post-split trading begins.
