Exhibit 99.1



                                                                August 29, 2002


Dear Netro Stockholder,

     I am pleased to advise you that Netro's self-tender has been successfully
completed. We repurchased 23 million shares of our common stock, returning $
80.5 million to Netro's stockholders. We are continuing to focus on
implementing our plan to streamline operations, reduce costs, and focus our
energies and resources on our most attractive market opportunities. We believe
that the Angel product represents an exciting growth opportunity for the
company. By focusing our efforts on the Angel platform we believe that we have
the greatest potential for creating and sustaining long-term stockholder value
and building leadership in the broadband fixed wireless industry.

     We believe that broadband fixed wireless products meet the needs of
business and residential end-users, where basic infrastructure is needed to
serve unmet demand for both voice telephony and high-speed data services
(wireless DSL). We have received potential customer interest in our broadband
fixed wireless technology from established international carriers. These
carriers have deployed other fixed wireless systems with success in the past
and are now looking for a mature solution to provide them with future services
and a platform that they can scale and grow. We believe that the Angel product
line, with its next generation technology, the first non-line-of-sight system
using OFDM to be mass-deployed, is a promising cost-effective and timely
solution for this market. Since we acquired the Angel product line from AT&T
Wireless approximately six months ago, we have achieved all of our internal
development milestones and believe we have opportunities to develop traction in
the market.

     As we continue to build what we believe will be a solid foundation for
future revenues from the Angel product, we want to share with you the strategic
milestones that we intend to meet:

     o    Develop key Angel markets:
          o    Introduce new frequencies for new geographies; and
          o    Launch trials, to precede actual deployments, in Latin America,
               China, South Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
     o    Reduce the cost of ownership to the telecom carrier while ensuring
          its ability to offer a wider set of services and generate greater
          revenue.
          o    Continue development and market new cost reduced products;
          o    Continue development and market new lower cost of ownership
               products, such as self-installed CPEs; and



          o    Market and develop dedicated features, such as low-cost voice
               only and data only products.
     o    Control corporate operating expenses.

Executing on the goals outlined above will allow us to improve our gross
margins and revenue in the long term.

     We have already delivered on the international version of the Angel
product by developing the Angel international switch interface and the Angel
3.5 GHz radio. We began generating revenues from the Angel product in Q2 of
this year and expect to generate additional revenues this year. The
telecommunications industry is a challenging environment today, however, we are
optimistic that new Angel networks, especially in emerging markets, can provide
Netro with revenue growth for 2003 and beyond.

     We have also announced that we are undertaking cost-cutting measures in
order to rationalize our expense structure and focus our resources on our
largest opportunities. This reorganization should allow Netro to focus
significant energy on the Angel platform, while allowing us to continue to
aggressively market and sell the AirStar product line to our existing customer
base, into new third generation cellular backhaul opportunities as they arise,
and as a complementary backhaul offering for the Angel product line. We do,
however, plan to focus the majority of our research and development resources
on reducing the cost of, and adding features to, the Angel product line.

     I hope this letter has provided you with a better understanding of Netro
and its business. I want you to know that we at Netro are striving to better
communicate with you as we go forward. If you have any additional questions,
please do not hesitate to contact our investor relations department, which will
be happy to assist you.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Gideon Ben-Efraim

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
