Exhibit 99.1

TII NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS Q1 2008 RESULTS
REPORTS QUARTER OVER QUARTER IMPROVED SALES AND OPERATING INCOME
EDGEWOOD, NY – May 14, 2008 – TII Network Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TIII), a company that develops and manufactures connectivity and data distribution solutions for the communications industry, today announced its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $8.9 million compared to $8.4 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $424,000 or 5.0%. This growth reflects increased sales of traditional network interface and surge protection devices, partially offset by a decrease in sales of connectivity products.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008 operating income was $223,000, compared to an operating loss of $289,000 in the comparable prior year, an improvement of $512,000. This improvement was primarily due to higher sales volume and cost savings as a result of the consolidation of our Puerto Rico operations into our new facility in Edgewood, New York.
Net income was $151,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to a net loss of $157,000 for the comparable prior year period, an improvement of $308,000. The current period results included a tax provision of $89,000 compared to a tax benefit in the prior year comparable period of $86,000. Earnings per share on a basic and diluted basis for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $0.01 compared to a loss per share of $0.01 for the comparable prior year period.
Kenneth A. Paladino, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The five percent increase in sales over the prior year period is a good start to 2008, and more notably the significant improvement in operating earnings compared to a loss in the prior year period. The improved margins and the operating profit in the current period results from the investment we made last year to consolidate our facilities and create a more efficient business model. As a result, we believe that we will continue to realize improved financial performance for the balance of the year.”
