               SR TELECOM SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
              MOVE ENSURES NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET MINIMUM BID PRICE

MONTREAL, AUGUST 25, 2003 -- SR Telecom(TM) Inc. (TSX: SRX), a world leader in
fixed wireless access solutions, today announced that shareholders approved a
reverse split of its issued and outstanding Common Shares. The reverse stock
split will result in a share price that meets the initial listing requirements
of the Nasdaq National Market. Listing on the Nasdaq National Market is one of
the conditions to closing the merger with Netro Corporation (Nasdaq: NTRO)
pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger with Netro. The closing of the
merger is subject to other conditions including the approval of Netro
stockholders.

The vote authorizes the Board of Directors to institute at any time and prior to
December 31, 2003 a reverse stock split of no less than five pre-consolidation
Common Shares for every one post-consolidation Common Share and no larger than
fifteen pre-consolidation Common Shares for every one post-consolidation Common
Share. The reverse split, affecting all of the Company's Common Shares and stock
options outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the reverse stock
split, calls for no fractional shares to be issued. Accordingly, the Company
will pay cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the closing price of the
Common Shares at the time of the consolidation. The authorized capitalization of
the Company will remain the same. At the close of business on July 25, 2003
there were 60,946,415 Common Shares issued and outstanding in the capital stock
of the Company.

In addition to facilitating a Nasdaq listing, the proposed share consolidation
will provide other benefits to the Company including permitting institutional
investors with minimum price requirements to purchase the Company's Common
Shares, as well as the possibility of increased market coverage by investment
banks and brokerage firms.

The Company's new stock symbol in connection with the Company's listing on
Nasdaq will be SRXA. The Company's stock symbol on the Toronto Stock Exchange
will remain unchanged.
