Chennai

November 27th, 2007

Redington India and Microsemi Corporation, have announced that Redington will
distribute Microsemi's PowerDsine family of power over ethernet (PoE) midspan
products.

Microsemi's PowerDsine midspan systems allow the delivery of
standard-compliant PoE to devices such as IP phones, wireless access points and
network cameras without the cost and disruption of upgrading the entire
data-networking infrastructure.

Redington will initially sell Microsemi's PowerDsine products in India, yet
both companies are considering expansion of the agreement to additional regions,
such as the Middle East and Africa. The agreement with Redington will enable
Microsemi to expand and enhance its PowerDsine customer service offering in
India while meeting growing demand for its PoE products in the region.

"Signing Redington as a national distributor in India will enable us to
stock, sell and support our products throughout this important and fast-growing
region," said Yuval Barnea, VP, Systems Business for Microsemi.

"We hope to continue our global success, with more than 30 million PoE
ports shipped to date," said Vikas Pinjarkar, Microsemi's India Sales
Manager. "Redington not only provides Microsemi with an exceptionally
strong channel sales partner, but also extends to our customers in India a
premier service, logistics and support infrastructure."

"We are excited to be adding Microsemi's industry-leading PowerDsine PoE
midspan products to our portfolio," said Anand Chakravarthy, head of
Redington's Networking Strategic Business Unit. "Microsemi's PowerDsine
brand includes a number of industry-leading products for this rapidly growing
market, and nicely complements our growing roster of offerings."
