MST-NuVisions Wins 2008 Communications Innovator Award

Award for Most Innovative Emerging Wireless Provider Was Announced by New Paradigm Resources Group, Inc. and Pipeline Magazine

Hawthorne, N.J., Nov. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSTI Holdings, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: MSHI) , a carrier class communications technology company providing a host of quadruple-play services, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc. (MST), has been awarded a 2008 Communications Innovator Award for Most Innovative Emerging Wireless Provider. New Paradigm Resources Group, Inc. (NPRG) and Pipeline Magazine announced the recipients of its Fall 2008 Communications Innovator Awards earlier this month.

MST-NuVisions was recognized for its use of upper millimeter wave gigabit wireless technology to support delivery of true broadband solutions within its network. The point-to-point technology over licensed spectrum amounts to having "fiber in the sky," which the company uses to extend as well as enhance leased fiber and local loops to Multi-Tenant Unit residential and commercial Dwelling buildings.

Based on a native Ethernet platform, the company tapped BridgeWave Communications' gigabit Ethernet products for carrier-class transport.

In the dense New York metropolitan market, the services MST provides increase exponentially the number of serviceable addresses; all while keeping operating costs under control and allowing installation intervals to be dramatically shortened. Because the technology itself is not the end-product, marketing remains focused on services-voice, video and data-delivered as reliably as over a landline. This innovative integration of multi-gigabit wireless links into a hybrid delivery platform will be a key enabler of future growth, especially in the residential arena.

"Winning this award recognizes the expertise of our teams in the research, development and deployment of leading-edge wireless solutions that support and advance commercial and residential communications services," said Frank T. Matarazzo, CEO and Founder, MST. "This innovative approach has enabled us to support a suite of quadruple-play services in a major metropolitan city such as New York."

"As capacity requirements for business and backhaul grow rapidly, network operators can leverage BridgeWave's cost-effective wireless fiber alternative that offers uninterrupted connectivity and gigabit data rates," said Amir Makleff, president and CEO of BridgeWave Communications. "MST's in-depth understanding of the underlying technology and communications business has enabled them to utilize our products for seamless network connectivity and differentiated service offerings to their end customers. We congratulate MST on receiving this award."
