Mr. Yen, Ms. Pan and Mr. Chao:

This memo serves to document the requirements and agreements between Digital
Microwave Corporation (DMC) and Microelectronics Technology Inc. (MTI).

1.      Upon MTI's acceptance of this letter by signing, and returning one copy
        to DMC, MTI is directed to proceed at once to commence activities per
        the Statement of Work described in EXHIBIT A.  DMC is requesting MTI to
        assemble [*] ([*]) Beta units and manufacture [*] ([*]) full production
        7/8 GHz Out-Door Units per technical documentation provided by DMC. In
        addition to the Work related to the 7/8 GHz ODU assembly and associated
        sub-assemblies, this agreement also serves to cover design, development
        and production of other frequency bands defined in EXHIBIT C.

2.      Based on the completion of each task of 7/8 GHz in the Statement of Work
        in EXHIBIT A, Beta delivery will be per the MTI quotation number
        97120902 dated December 9, 1997. Delivery will be [*] beta units by [*]
        and [*] beta units by [*]. The configuration and frequency information
        of the beta units is given in EXHIBIT E.

3.      Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, MTI may not expend
        or commit in the aggregate, for production material a sum exceeding $[*]
        and DMC shall not in any event be obligated to reimburse MTI for Work
        performed hereunder for any amount in excess of said sum unless further
        authorization is granted by DMC in writing.

4.      MTI shall be paid for performance of the Work hereunder upon delivery of
        product as set forth in EXHIBIT A, attached hereto, DMC may terminate
        the Work for just cause on a ([*]) day written notice and MTI shall
        immediately stop performance of the Work and not incur further charges.
        DMC shall make any payment due to MTI for Work performed and material
        expenses MTI incurred or

        committed to its vendors for completion of the Altium program up until
        the time of termination in an amount commensurate with the actual Work
        performed for a particular milestone.

5.      Digital Microwave Corporation will issue a fixed price purchase order in
        the estimated amount of $[*] for [*] ([*] ) production 7/8 Ghz Out Door
        Units and [*] ([*]) 7/8 GHz Out Door beta units before January 16,1998.
        The price per unit is given in EXHIBIT D.  The production units will be
        delivered over a [*] period per a schedule to be developed by [*] and is
        expected to be approximately [*] protected and [*] non protected units.
        This schedule will also provide configuration and frequency requirements
        for the production units. Both parties acknowledge that such contract
        must be accepted by both DMC and MTI. No such acceptance is implied by
        this letter of agreement. All sales are subject to the DMC terms and
        conditions as noted in EXHIBIT B. Any further changes by DMC to the
        design, specification, or test requirements which impact material cost
        or labor time standards shall initiate discussion to re-negotiate the
        unit price. The balance of product for other frequency bands to be
        negotiated no later than [*] under a separate letter of agreement.

6.      Standard Terms and Conditions of Purchase set forth is [*], any
        reference in said terms and Conditions of Purchase to adjustment in
        prices or delivery schedule shall be inapplicable and no changes to this
        letter shall be deemed to increase MTI's authorization to expend funds
        and to make commitments hereunder unless expressly so stated in any such
        change.

7.      The purchase order shall include the Terms and Conditions of Purchase
        set forth in EXHIBIT B, and the delivery schedule, prices and any
        additional provisions that the parties agree upon.

8.      It is understood that fabrication of Beta assemblies and modules is to
        commence prior to completion of the Alpha phase. DMC shall pay for any
        excess material in the event of design changes implemented after the
        start of fabrication or assembly, which render the assembly scrap
        including effected production material.

9.      In the event of termination of this agreement, per paragraph 4 above,
        DMC shall pay MTI for all Work performed up to the date of notice of
        such termination on a time and material basis (including overhead and
        G&A at a reasonable and customary rate), MTI shall submit all financial
        data required for DMC to verify charges.  MTI acknowledges that in no
        event shall DMC be responsible to MTI for any payments in excess of the
        not-to-exceed amount set forth in Paragraph 3.  Upon such payment, MTI
        shall turn over to DMC all Work performed by MTI up to the date of
        termination.  All Work prepared under this agreement shall be deemed a
        "Work made for hire" under the United States copyright laws.  In the
        event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, title to and ownership of the
        Work initially vests in MTI, MTI agrees to execute, at DMC's request,
        all documents

        of the Work to DMC, except Work that is not unique to Altium. MTI
        ownership includes, but is not limited to: filters, modules and circuits
        MTI developed either for Altium application or other applications, and
        associated process drawings which are not specified in DMC's PSD.

10.     Both parties warrant that Work to be performed under this agreement
        letter shall be performed in a professional manner by qualified
        personnel.  DMC and MTI agree that the full cooperation of both
        companies is necessary to enable the Work to meet its scheduled

order in whole or part at any time by the giving of written notice to Seller
specifying the extent to which performance of Work is terminated.  After such

verify claims hereunder and Seller shall make available to Buyer upon its
request with reasonable notice, all relevant books, records, inventories and

defend the claim, to permit Seller, at Seller's expense, to participate in the

supervision and control, and (iii) if Buyer has requested that Seller defend the
claim, to provide Seller with all needed information, assistance and authority
necessary for Seller to do so.  If the use by Buyer of any of the products

     using that average as the baseline for the upcoming quarter. This process
     will be used for all currencies by which components are purchased, relative
     to the United States Dollar.
