Building on its first appearance in the region at the 3G>GSM Middle East
event in September, UTStarcom will bring to Gitex its suite of innovative,
end-to-end solutions designed to enable both fixed and mobile operators in the
region to consolidate their voice, data and video networks seamlessly over IP
infrastructure.

'We believe the Middle East is one of the most exciting and progressive
regions in the world,' said Youssef Kassissia, vice president of the EMEA
region at UTStarcom. 'With explosive mobile and broadband growth due, in
part, to a relaxation of regulations in the region, operators will have a need
to scale their networks quickly, efficiently and cost effectively. We believe
UTStarcom has the right solution mix to support the expected rapid development
of communications infrastructure in a region that is so geographically and
economically diverse.'

At Gitex, UTStarcom will be showing its complete solution portfolio,
including:

    -- MovingMedia(TM) 2000 all-IP CDMA 2000 network solution, which is
       designed to enable operators to affordably and rapidly deploy CDMA

       traditional TDM networks.
    -- iAN-8K B1000 Multiservice Access Node (MSAN), which is designed to
       allow carriers to consolidate their legacy and next-generation
       broadband applications on a converged service platform.
    -- Continuity(TM), UTStarcom's Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) solution,
       which is designed to allow operators to seamlessly migrate end users
       between cellular and Wi-Fi networks to ensure the best quality of
       service.
    -- RollingStream(TM), UTStarcom's end-to-end IPTV solution, which is

       television and Video-on-Demand (VoD) services across their fixed-line
