   FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

   Kris Anne Monteith

   Chief, Enforcement Bureau

                                 CONSENT DECREE

   The Enforcement Bureau ("Bureau") of the Federal Communications Commission
   ("FCC" or "Commission") and Rajant Corporation ("Rajant") hereby enter

   investigation into possible noncompliance with Section 302(b) of the
   Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), and Parts 2 and 15 of the
   Commission's Rules ("Rules").

   I. DEFINITIONS

   For purposes of this Consent Decree, the following definitions shall
   apply:

     a. "Act" means the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.
        S:S: 151 et seq.

     b. "Adopting Order" means an Order of the Bureau adopting the terms and
        conditions of this Consent Decree.

     c. "Bureau" means the Enforcement Bureau of the Federal Communications
        Commission.

     d. "Commission" and "FCC" mean the Federal Communications Commission.

     g. "Investigation" means the investigation commenced by Rajant's
        disclosure to the Bureau in File No. EB-07-SE-302 of issues regarding

     h. "Parties" means Rajant and the Bureau.

     i. "Rules" means the Commission's rules found in Title 47 of the Code of
        Federal Regulations.

   II. BACKGROUND

    1. Under Section 302(b) of the Act and Parts 2 and 15 of the Rules,
       certain wireless broadband network devices must be authorized in
       accordance with the Commission's Rules and comply with all applicable
       technical standards and labeling requirements prior to importation or
       marketing in the United States. In July and August 2007, Rajant
       voluntarily disclosed to the Office of Engineering and Technology and
       Bureau staff that it had recently discovered issues regarding Rajant's
       compliance with Section 302(b) of the Act and Parts 2 and 15 with
       respect to some of its wireless broadband network devices. On August
       23, 2007, Rajant met with Bureau staff and provided additional
       information regarding Rajant's compliance with Section 302(b) of the
       Act and Parts 2 and 15 of the Rules.

    2. On September 4, 2007, the Bureau issued a Letter of Inquiry ("LOI") to
       Rajant in File No. EB-07-SE-302 to initiate an investigation into
       whether certain Rajant wireless broadband network devices were in
       compliance with Section 302(b) of the Act and Parts 2 and 15 of the
       Commission's Rules. On October 4, 2007, Rajant sent its response to
       the Bureau. Rajant subsequently sought an additional meeting to update
       the Bureau on the status of its certifications. On November 15, 2007,
       the Bureau met with Rajant to discuss the issues raised in the LOI.

   III. TERMS OF AGREEMENT

    3. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Consent Decree shall be
       subject to final approval by the Bureau by incorporation of such
       provisions by reference in the Adopting Order.

    4. The Parties agree that this Consent Decree does not constitute either
       an adjudication on the merits nor a factual or legal finding or
       determination regarding any compliance or noncompliance by Rajant with
       the requirements of the Act or the Commission's Rules and orders. The
       Parties further agree that this Consent Decree is for settlement
       purposes only and that, by agreeing to this Consent Decree, Rajant
       does not admit or deny liability for violating any statute,
       regulation, or administrative rule in connection with matters that are
       the subject of this Consent Decree.

    5. The Parties agree that this Consent Decree shall become binding on the
       Parties on the Effective Date. Upon release, the Adopting Order and
       this Consent Decree shall have the same force and effect as any other
       final order of the Commission and any violation of the terms or
       conditions of this Consent Decree shall constitute a violation of a
       Commission order.

    6. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Consent Decree shall
       constitute a final and binding settlement between Rajant and the
       Bureau regarding possible violations of the Act and the Rules with
       respect to the importation and marketing of wireless broadband network
       devices by Rajant prior to the Effective Date of this Consent Decree.

    7. In express reliance on the covenants and representations in this
       Consent Decree and to avoid further expenditure of scarce public
       resources, the Bureau agrees to terminate its Investigation into
       whether Rajant may have violated the Act or the Rules with respect to
       Rajant's wireless broadband network devices prior to the Effective
       Date of this Consent Decree.

    8. In consideration for the termination by the Bureau of the
       Investigation and in accordance with the terms of this Consent Decree,
       Rajant agrees to the terms set forth herein.

    9. Rajant acknowledges that the Bureau has jurisdiction over the matters
       contained in this Consent Decree and the authority to enter into and
       adopt this Consent Decree.

   10. Rajant has implemented a Federal Communications Commission Regulatory
       Compliance Plan ("FCC Compliance Plan") related to Rajant's future
       compliance with the Act, the Commission's Rules, and the Commission's
       orders. Rajant's FCC Compliance Plan includes, at a minimum, the
       following components:

     a. FCC Compliance Procedures. Rajant shall develop and update as
        necessary appropriate FCC Compliance Procedures. Relevant Rajant
        personnel shall be trained on the FCC Compliance Procedures and shall
        be required to follow them. The FCC Compliance Procedures will, among
        other things, address the equipment authorization requirements of the
        Act and the Commission's Rules applicable to the wireless broadband
        network devices and accessories imported, marketed and sold by Rajant
        in the United States, as well as the Commission's Rules regarding
        labeling and user manual statements for such devices.

     b. Compliance Officer. Rajant shall designate an FCC Compliance Officer
        ("Compliance Officer") who will administer the FCC Compliance Plan,
        supervise Rajant's compliance with the Act, the Commission's Rules
        and the Consent Decree, and serve as the Rajant point of contact for
        all Commission-related compliance matters. The Compliance Officer
        will be assigned responsibility within Rajant for determining whether
        the manufacture, importation, marketing, sale, labeling and user
        manual requirements for Rajant's devices are in compliance with the
        FCC Compliance Procedures.

     c. Interference Complaints. Any interference complaints received by
        Rajant shall be promptly forwarded to the Compliance Officer for
        appropriate consideration and action. To the extent Rajant concludes,
        after appropriate investigation in response to a complaint, that the
        interference results from the fact that the devices were
        non-compliant with the Rules, Rajant shall take appropriate remedial
        action at no charge to the complainant.

     d. Review and Monitoring. Rajant will review the FCC Compliance Plan
        annually to ensure that it is maintained in a proper manner and
        continues to address the objectives set forth therein.

   11. Rajant agrees that every wireless broadband network device and
       accessory that is imported or marketed by Rajant in the Untied States
       on or after the Effective Date of this Consent Decree shall be
       compliant with the Act and the Rules before importation and marketing
       by Rajant.

   12. The Bureau agrees that, in the absence of new material evidence, it
       will not entertain or institute, or use the facts developed in the
       Investigation or the existence of this Consent Decree to institute, on
       its own motion, any new proceeding, formal or informal, nor take any
       action on its own motion, nor recommend to the full Commission any
       forfeiture, penalty or other sanction, against Rajant for any alleged
       violation of the Act or the Rules with respect to any Rajant wireless
       broadband network device that occurred prior to the Effective Date of
       this Consent Decree. The Bureau also agrees that, in the absence of
       new material evidence, it will not use the facts developed in the
       Investigation through the Effective Date or the existence of this
       Consent Decree to initiate any proceeding, formal or informal, or take
       any action against Rajant with respect to Rajant's qualifications to
       hold any Commission license or authorization. Nothing in this Consent
       Decree shall prevent the Bureau from instituting, or recommending to
       the Commission, new investigations or enforcement proceedings against
       Rajant, in the event of any alleged future misconduct for violation of
       this Consent Decree or for violation of the Act or the Commission's
       Rules, consistent with the provisions of this Consent Decree.

   13. The Parties agree that each is required to comply with each individual
       condition of this Consent Decree. Each specific condition is a
       separate condition of the Consent Decree as approved. To the extent
       that Rajant fails to satisfy any condition, in the absence of
       Commission alteration of the condition, it will be deemed noncompliant
       and may be subject to possible future enforcement action with respect
       to such failure to satisfy the condition.

   14. Rajant agrees to make a voluntary contribution to the United States
       Treasury in the amount of $29,400 within thirty (30) calendar days
       after the Effective Date of the Adopting Order. This voluntary
       contribution does not constitute a fine or penalty for, or admission
       of, a violation of any law, the Act, or the Rules. The payment must be
       made by check or similar instrument, payable to the Order of the
       Federal Communications Commission. The payment must include the
       Account Number and FRN Number referenced in the caption to the
       Adopting Order. Payment by check or money order may be mailed to
       Federal Communications Commission, P.O. Box 979088, St. Louis, MO
       63197-9000. Payment by overnight mail may be sent to U.S. Bank -
       Government Lockbox #979088, SL-MO-C2-GL, 1005 Convention Plaza, St.
       Louis, MO 63101. Payment by wire transfer may be made to ABA Number
       021030004, receiving bank TREAS/NYC, and account number 27000001. For
       payment by credit card, an FCC Form 159 (Remittance Advice) must be
       submitted. When completing the FCC Form 159, enter the Account number
       in block number 23A (call sign/other ID), and enter the letters "FORF"
       in block number 24A (payment type code).

   15. Rajant's decision to enter into this Consent Decree is expressly
       contingent upon the Bureau's issuance of an Adopting Order that is
       consistent with this Consent Decree and that adopts the Consent Decree
       without change, addition, modification or deletion.

   16. The Parties waive any and all rights they may have to seek
       administrative or judicial reconsideration, review, appeal or stay, or
       to otherwise challenge or contest the validity of this Consent Decree
       and Adopting Order, provided the Bureau issues an Adopting Order
       adopting the Consent Decree without change, addition, modification, or
       deletion.

   17. In the event that this Consent Decree is rendered invalid by a court
       of competent jurisdiction, it shall become null and void and may not
       be used in any manner in any legal proceeding.

   18. By this Consent Decree, Rajant neither waives nor alters its right to
       assert and seek protection from disclosure of any privileged or
       otherwise confidential and protected documents and information, or to
       seek appropriate safeguards of confidentiality for any competitively
       sensitive or proprietary information.

   19. If either Party (or the United States on behalf of the Commission)
       brings a judicial action to enforce the terms of the Adopting Order,
       neither Rajant nor the Commission shall contest the validity of the
       Consent Decree or the Adopting Order, and Rajant and the Commission
       will waive any statutory right to a trial de novo with respect to the
       issuance of the Adopting Order and shall consent to a judgment
       incorporating the terms of this Consent Decree.

   20. Rajant agrees that any violation of the Adopting Order or of this
       Consent Decree (upon its adoption) shall constitute a separate
       violation of a Commission order, entitling the Commission to exercise
       any rights and remedies attendant to the enforcement of a Commission
       order.

   21. The Parties agree that any provision of this Consent Decree that
       conflicts with any subsequent rule or order of general applicability
       or other decision of general applicability adopted by the Commission
       (except an order specifically intended to revise the terms of this
       Consent Decree to which Rajant does not consent) will be superseded by
       such Commission Rule or order.

   22. Rajant waives any rights it may have under any provision of the Equal
       Access to Justice Act, 5 U.S.C. Section 504 and 47 C.F.R. Section
       1.1501 et seq., relating to the matters addressed in this Consent
       Decree.

   23. The Parties agree that Rajant's obligations under the Consent Decree
       shall expire twenty-four (24) months from the Effective Date of the
       Consent Decree.

   24. This Consent Decree cannot be modified without the advance written
       consent of both Parties.

   25. This Consent Decree may be signed in counterparts.
