intent to MD the WLAN Security Switch 2270, WLAN Access Ports 223x and dependant
products. No further orders will be accepted as of the Last Time Order Date shown above

Description
The WLAN 223X/2270 products, also known as the Adaptive WLAN solution, were
introduced in 2004 to offer Nortel customers a centralized WLAN architecture option. These
products were sourced by Airespace Networks through an OEM relationship. Subsequently,
Cisco acquired Airespace, and Nortel has introduced the next generation WLAN 2300 series
to meet customer requirements for a scalable, secure and high performance WLAN solution
that supports mobile voice and multi-media services.

The product management team has made a decision to manufacture discontinue the WLAN
223X/2270 products for the following reasons:
1. The success of the WLAN 2300 series and its ability to meet the full range of
customer requirements has made the WLAN 223X/2270 products redundant for new
customer deployments.
2. Airespace products are aligning with alternate manufacturing arrangements, creating
an imminent discontinuity for the product line.
3. Nortel has been actively engaged with affected customers and has made every effort
to ensure that ongoing interests have been satisfied.
4. Discontinuing the WLAN 223X/2270 products will maintain efficient operations.
Nortel is committed to provide uninterrupted support for customers who have adopted the
WLAN 223X/2270 products. Repair services, technical support, and emergency recovery
are provided per published policies and/or the terms of associated customer contracts.
Nortel will provide Full support on software through April 30, 2007, with Limited support
thereafter until the EOL date of April 30, 2011. Nortel will provide Full support on hardware
through April 30, 2008, with Limited support thereafter until the EOL date of April 30, 2011.
