                             AGREEMENT TO LOAN FUNDS


         THIS AGREEMENT to Loan Funds (this "Agreement") is entered into as of
the 22 day of December 2000, by and between AirNet Communications Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Glenn Ehley ("Ehley").

         WHEREAS, Ehley, the Company's Senior Vice President Worldwide Sales and
Marketing, exercised certain Company stock options in March 2000 (the "Option

"March 2000 Option Shares"); and

         WHEREAS, Ehley will be liable for federal income tax of approximately
$215,800 in connection with the Option Exercises as a result of the application
of the alternative minimum tax ("AMT") provisions under the Internal Revenue
Code, which alternative minimum tax liability (the "AMT Liability") will be due
and payable by Ehley on April 15, 2001; and

         WHEREAS, the Company believes it to be in its best interest and a
benefit to the Company to make a non-recourse loan to Ehley (the "Loan") in an
amount sufficient to satisfy the AMT Liability and other federal income tax
obligations related to the Loan contemplated by this Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to set forth their understanding
with respect to the terms under which the Company will make the Loan to Ehley.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties herein contained, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

         1. In the event Ehley determines that the Loan is necessary in order to
satisfy the AMT Liability and requests that the Company make the Loan to him,
the Company agrees to loan Ehley the sum of $221,997 on a non-recourse basis
pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (the "Note") in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A.

         2. In connection with the Loan, Ehley agrees to grant the Company a
security interest in the March 2000 Option Shares and to authorize and direct
his broker or brokers to deliver to Lender all Required Payments (as defined in
the Note) until such time as all amounts owing under the Note are paid in full,
and to execute all documentation required in order to perfect the Company's
security interest in the March 2000 Option Shares and to authorize and direct
his broker or brokers to deliver all Required Payments to the Company. The
Company agrees that it shall not, during the time in which the Note remains
unpaid, adopt or impose any rules or other restrictions which restrict or
interfere with Ehley's right to sell the March 2000 Option Shares, except for
rules which are also imposed upon other officers or directors of the Company or
which are required by applicable state or federal securities laws or
regulations.

         3. Ehley agrees that he will use the proceeds of the Loan solely for
the purpose of satisfying the AMT Liability and other federal income tax
obligations related to the Loan contemplated by this Agreement.

         4. Unless approved by the Company's Board of Directors, Ehley agrees
that he will not gift, sale or otherwise transfer any of the March 2000 Option
Shares at any time

public markets and transfers made in connection with a sale or merger of the
Company.

this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

         6. All notices, requests, waivers and other communications required or
permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
