ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         On June 11, 1999, Westell Technologies, Inc. entered into agreements
with Fujitsu Telecom Europe Limited ("FTEL") pursuant to which Westell sold
certain assets in its Cambridge, England operations (Westell Europe Limited
(WEL)) to FTEL, assigned its lease to FTEL, transferred the employees of WEL to
FTEL, and FTEL agreed to fund Westell for continued certain xDSL research and
development work on the SuperVision DSLAM to meet FTEL's current and evolving
requirements. The agreements also provide for licensing to FTEL of nonexclusive
manufacturing rights to Westell's HDSL and ADSL products. A Press Release was
issued by Westell on June 14, 1999 in respect to these matters, a copy of which
is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by
reference.

         These agreements with FTEL are anticipated to result in reduction of
operating expenses of Westell for its 2000 fiscal year of approximately
$10,500,000, consisting of $6,500,000 in savings from discontinuation of its
Cambridge operations and the balance from FTEL's payments for the continued xDSL
research and development work.
