NOLLENBERGER CAPITAL PARTNERS SELECTS TROPOS NETWORKS AS ONE OF THE TOP 200 LEADING PRIVATE COMPANIES FOR 2008

SUNNYVALE, CA  – May 27, 2008 -- Tropos® Networks, the market leader in wireless IP broadband mesh networks, today announced that Nollenberger Capital Partners, Inc. (NCPI), a privately held investment banking and advisory services firm, has selected Tropos as one of the top 200 leading private companies for 2008.  The list was published in NCPI’s Second Annual Top 200 Private Company Report.

“Nollenberger Capital Partners examined thousands of private company business models, financials and management teams that are transforming markets and creating new opportunities.  Tropos was chosen out of a pool of exciting, emerging growth companies based on its leadership in the next wave of disruptive and innovative technologies,” said Gene Ramirez, managing director of investment banking for Nollenberger Capital Partners.

Based on proprietary and industry-wide analysis, NCPI chooses companies that they believe are poised for significant growth and as such will have a positive funding or liquidity event over the next 12 to 36 months.

 “We are honored to be chosen by Nollenberger Capital Partners as one of their top 200 leading private companies for 2008,” said Tom Ayers, president and CEO of Tropos.  “In fact, 2008 is proving to be an exciting year for us with momentum building internationally and key milestone deployments in municipal Wi-Fi networks being realized here in the U.S. Our focus on selling Tropos’ solutions to provide the critical wireless communication infrastructure for services such as public safety, video security, automated utility meter reading and intelligent transportation challenges are being well received by municipalities and industrial enterprises who see the benefits in building, owning and operating their own wireless broadband network.”

According to NCPI, the results of their 1st Top 200 report were impressive.  Over 65 percent of the companies featured in the inaugural 2007 Top 200 Report subsequently raised growth capital at increased valuations, filed for or priced initial public offerings of stock, or were acquired.
