   Filtronic plc and Powerwave Technologies announce negotiations for sale of
    businesses within the Wireless Infrastructure division of Filtronic plc


Filtronic plc ('Filtronic'), a leading global designer and manufacturer of
customised microwave electronic subsystems for the wireless telecommunications
and defence industries, and Powerwave Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:PWAV), a global
supplier of end-to-end wireless solutions for wireless networks, today announced
that the companies have entered into a period of exclusive negotiations for the
disposal of Filtronic's filter-based transmit receive module and power amplifier
businesses of its Wireless Infrastructure Division.  For the avoidance of doubt,
there can be no certainty that these negotiations will result in any transaction
being completed.  We will have no further comment until an agreement is reached
or the discussions are terminated.
