Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. (AMEX Symbol: WTT) (the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved accelerating the vesting of all unvested stock options granted by the Company. The Board believes that it is in the best interest of shareholders as it will reduce the Company’s reported compensation expense in future periods.

As a result of the vesting acceleration, options to purchase 249,000 shares of the Company’s common stock became exercisable immediately including 96,000 held by executive officers, 34,000 held by non-employee directors and 119,000 held by other employees. Based upon closing stock price on the American Stock Exchange on December 28, 2005 of $2.60, 31% of the accelerated options do not have economic value at this time.

As a result of the accelerated vesting of stock options, the Company is not expected to be required to recognize anticipated stock option expense of approximately U.S. $125,000 in 2006 and U.S. $125,000 in 2007. The Company will report the impact of the acceleration as a fourth quarter event and in its 2005 financial statements by way of pro forma footnote disclosure, as permitted under the transition guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

CommTel Network Solutions Australia, a value added re-seller of Nokia’s network solutions, has signed an agreement for the supply of Nokia broadband DSL solutions and related services to a new customer, Telecom Cook Islands Ltd in the Pacific, marking a new market entry for Nokia. Deliveries will begin in January 2006 and the system will be up and running during March 2006. This follows on from a similar agreement signed with Solomon Telekom in December 2004.

The Nokia D500 IP DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) was chosen for the provision of faster Internet access services in these Pacific islands as it delivers integrated IP functionality unlike any other IP DSLAM solution in the broadband industry. “Having initially launched Internet services in 2003, Telecom Cook Islands is now able to migrate customers from our existing ATM network to the benefits that IP provides for multimedia services,” says Robert McFadzien, Manager, Information Systems, Telecom Cook Islands.

“This represents a milestone in our sales channel structure, highlighting the effectiveness of our collaborators in offering Nokia broadband solutions. As utilities, authorities and operators move towards IP-based networks, the Nokia D500 is a perfect extension to the continuing portfolio of Nokia narrowband and Nokia microwave radio solutions,” says Alf Kysenius, Sales Director, Networks, Nokia.

The Nokia D500 is a complete IP-based multiservice access node platform for providing both quality of service and secure authentication. It supports the latest DSL standards, for example ADSL2+ G, for increased bandwidth, as well as existing ATM-based DSL services. With IP Multicasting capability and telephony utilising fixed-to-mobile convergence standards, such as SIP, the Nokia D500 provides residential homes and businesses access to video, voice and data services, on phones, PCs, TVs and mobile devices.

“Solomon Telekom is now offering fast Internet access to business customers, adding extra capacity, coverage and bandwidth to the existing network,” says Aydin Ada, Manager Information Systems, Solomon Telekom.
