WINNCOM TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES EX-IM BANK GUARANTEE OF $48 MILLION PORTION OF FINANCING FOR KAZAKHSTAN COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

Date: 6/6/2005

Wheat Ridge, CO June 6, 2005 – ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc. (OTC BB:ARCS) today announced that the Ex-Im Bank has committed to guarantee a portion of the financing necessary for the previously announced turnkey telecommunications project in Kazakhstan of its wholly owned subsidiary, Winncom Technologies Corp. Of the $48 million loan, approximately $44 million would be available for project costs, and $4 million is estimated as financing fees. At this time, financing of an additional $11 million, in addition to any additional fees, is still needed for the estimated $55 million of equipment, engineering, construction and other costs. Societe Generale, New York, NY, would be the guaranteed lender on this portion of the transaction.

Winncom competed with several other telecommunications companies and was awarded the Kazakhtelecom contract, which is subject to certain contingencies, in October of 2004. The contract specifies, among other things, that Winncom is responsible for locating and presenting funding of project costs of approximately $55 million, plus any financing or other fees, to the national telecommunications provider, Kazakhtelecom, which must approve the loan agreement. Winncom will now seek the balance of the financing and respective approvals from Kazakhtelecom in order to satisfy the terms of the Kazakhtelecom contract.

“We are very excited that Ex-Im Bank has agreed to guarantee this portion of the funding for the project,” stated Gregory E. Raskin, CEO of Winncom. “It is our intention to now aggressively pursue the remainder of the funding required to proceed with this project and, after the financing and other requirements of the Kazakhtelecom contract are satisfied and approved, ultimately begin construction of this state-of the-art data network.”

Randall P. Marx, CEO of ARC Wireless Solutions said, “We believe that Winncom has firmly established itself as a leading provider of telecommunications networks both domestically and internationally. We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to pursue this and other international opportunities with such upside potential. The Company intends to take advantage of the momentum achieved by this news and will do its best to see the project to final approval.”

Ex-Im Bank, the official export credit agency of the United States, is in its 71st year of helping finance the sale of U.S. exports, primarily to emerging markets throughout the world, by providing loan guarantees, export credit insurance and direct loans. In fiscal year 2004, Ex-Im Bank authorized financing to support $17.8 billion of U.S. exports worldwide. For more information, visit www.exim.gov.
