'UTStarcom's MovingMedia 2000 solution proved to be the best technology
choice to deliver reliable, high-quality CDMA wireless communications services
to our worldwide maritime shipping partners,' said Svein Are Folgero, chief
executive officer of MCP. 'Utilizing UTStarcom's small, easily transportable
radio base station on board the ship connected via satellite to the core
network on shore, we will be able to offer our customers a suite of services,
including voice, high-speed data and fax.'

Today's announcement is the second nautical deployment of UTStarcom's
MovingMedia 2000 all-IP CDMA network solution. In November 2006, UTStarcom
announced a contract with Seattle-based SeaMobile, Inc., a leading provider of
advanced at-sea wireless voice communications and data applications.

'This second nautical implementation of our MovingMedia 2000 solution with
a major maritime cellular operator confirms the solution as one of the most
cost-effective and efficient means of delivering CDMA wireless voice and data
services at sea,' said
Jack Mar, president of the CDMA/GSM division at
UTStarcom, Inc. 'Our versatile, portable CDMA base station can also be used in
any form of transportation, including trains and commercial airplanes, and
provides transmission flexibility to the PSTN that enables significant opex
saving for operators.'

With a combination of CDMA2000 technology and satellite back-haul,
UTStarcom's MovingMedia2000 can be deployed quickly in a range of
environments, including disaster relief and military operations, where there
is no existing communications infrastructure. MovingMedia2000 is also designed
to provide seamless roaming in urban, suburban, rural and enterprise
locations, enable high data rates and feature rich applications, and offer
reduced operating expenses.
