SECTION 8 - OTHER EVENTS

ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

On August 26, 2004, Westell  Technologies,  Inc. (the "Company") entered into an
amendment to its existing  contract  with Verizon (the  "Amendment").  Under the
Amendment,  although Verizon is not obligated to any volume purchase commitment,
Verizon  agreed  to  purchase  from  the  Company  at  least  95% of its  future
requirements  for Pro Line 6100 Dual Port Modems which  Verizon  provides to its
residential  and  small  business  customers  for use in  their  premises  until
December 31, 2005. The Company  believes that it currently  supplies over 95% of
Verizon's DSL modem  requirements for residential and small business  customers.
Prior to this  Amendment,  Verizon was not obligated to source its Pro Line 6100
Dual Port modem requirements from the Company.

ProLine DSL modems are remotely  manageable using the DSL Forum TR-069 standard.
The two companies have had an existing supplier agreement in place for over five
years for the Company's WireSpeedTM modem products.
