Endwave and SafeView to Increase Collaboration on Homeland Security System Endwave Awarded Early Production Contract for the RF Switching Network in SafeView's Security Screening Checkpoint System SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Endwave Corporation (NASDAQ:ENWV) a leading provider of radio frequency (RF) subsystems for commercial telecommunications, homeland security, and defense applications, today announced the expansion of a previously announced development agreement with SafeView, Inc., a privately held developer of a revolutionary security portal screening system. In addition to the millimeter-wave transceiver already under development and previously disclosed, Endwave has been awarded a contract for early production release of the RF switching network which allows the scanning millimeter wave signal to route through multiple antenna elements from a single Endwave transceiver. Endwave has completed the design and manufacture of prototype units of the RF distribution and switching network for design qualification and system testing and will start manufacturing early production units. SafeView has incorporated Endwave's switch matrix into their portal system and is currently conducting trials with several customers around the world. The portal system transmits ultra-high frequency, low powered RF (radio frequency) waves as people pass through the portal. The waves penetrate clothing and reflect off of the person's skin and any items being carried. A sensor array captures the reflected waves and uses a desktop computer to analyze the information and produce a high-resolution, 3-D image from the signals. "We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with SafeView with the award to manufacture parts in support of this innovative security system," said Ed Keible, President and CEO of Endwave Corporation. "This manufacturing contract from SafeView is yet another indicator that companies outside of our core wireless telecommunications business are recognizing the world-class design and high-volume manufacturing strengths that Endwave brings to emerging homeland security opportunities." "SafeView has awarded Endwave this manufacturing contract based on their demonstrated core-competence in low-loss millimeter-wave switching and power distribution," said Rick Rowe, CEO of SafeView, Inc." As the millimeter-wave transceiver module and the RF distribution network are complementary parts of our overall system, Endwave is the logical partner to provide both critical pieces of our design." About Endwave Endwave Corporation is a provider of radio frequency (RF) subsystems that enable the transmission and reception of voice and data signals in broadband wireless systems.

About SafeView SafeView, Inc. is a privately held developer of systems using patented holographic imaging technology for various security applications, and based in Santa Clara, CA. SafeView holds an exclusive license to commercialize the holographic technology from Battelle, which manages the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for the Department of Energy. SafeView's system uses an active millimeter wave technology that is safe and offers clear resolution of hidden items. Unlike some other methods of detection, SafeView's system allows the operator to clearly see objects made of metal, plastic, ceramic, and other materials that may be hidden under clothing without using ionizing radiation. Although the system will identify that objects are hidden on the body, SafeView has developed a unique software feature that allows clear viewing of these objects while preserving privacy. SaveView's system offers a more effective and less intrusive alternative to metal detectors, pat down searches, and other means used to ensure safety in public areas.
