L-3 Communications Telemetry-West Delivers TCM-900 Series Microwave Radio System
for the 2004 Summer Olympic Games

March 1, 2004

SAN DIEGO, CA, March 1, 2004 — L-3 Communications Telemetry-West (L-3 Telemetry-West), a division of L-3 Communications Corporation (NYSE:LLL), announced today that it has completed delivery of over 50 links of its high-capacity portable microwave radio system, the TCM-900 Series, which will be used to support multiple types of communications during the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. The field-tunable radio offers a significant advantage over competing systems because it is ruggedized and completely portable, providing flexibility and allowing quick installation in extreme outdoor environments. L-3 Telemetry-West has also recently received additional orders for its TCM-930 from multiple international and domestic customers, who plan to use the radio to transmit audio, video and optical data for a variety of point-to-point, military and commercial wireless applications.

“ We are honored to support international events such as the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad to be held in Athens this summer,” said Glenn Flaherty, vice president of business development for L-3 Telemetry-West. “The added security of portable, flexible voice/video communications will assist Olympic workers, participants and spectators in increasing the level of safety for all.”
Flaherty continued, “This delivery, coupled with the increasing list of orders for the TCM-930, is our latest accomplishment with the hugely successful TCM-900 Series microwave radio product line.”

Building on a 30-year legacy of advanced, rugged, field-tunable and programmable microwave radio technology, L-3 Telemetry-West’s new TCM-930 radio allows users to program modulation, user interfaces and frequencies — all within a compact, self-contained package that will operate in almost any environment on the face of the earth. The system’s small size and relatively low weight make transportation and integration fast and easy, even under the harshest conditions. Additionally, TCM-930 radio systems are available in most common carrier and military frequency bands and are fully tunable across each offered band to ensure unparalleled flexibility and reconfigurability.
