Technology Was Field-Proven By Emergency Response Officials in the Wake of Hurricane Katrina

The QUALCOMM Deployable Base Station (QDBS) will be installed on a HUMMER
at the UTStarcom booth (Booth #2129) at TelecomNext 2006 at the Mandalay Bay
Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada from March 21-22, 2006.

'Following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, the QUALCOMM Deployable
Base Station was deployed via helicopter to St. Barnard Parish, La. and
provided wireless communication services for first responders,' said
Diane
Winchell, senior director of product management QUALCOMM's Government
Technologies division. 'We believe the portability and ease-of-installation of
this unique mobile communications solution make it ideal for natural disaster,
emergency or military scenarios where existing infrastructure is not
operational and a quick, reliable communication system is vital.'

Using proven 3G CDMA cellular technology, the QDBS is designed to provide
a highly portable, all-IP CDMA2000(R) 800/1900 MHz network to enable reliable
mobile voice and 153-kbps data service in both stand-alone scenarios or when
interoperating with commercial or other private networks. Compact and easy to
operate, the QDBS system is designed to interface with pico-cells and
macro-cells to increase coverage areas and system capacities.

'We believe the small form factor and flexibility of the QUALCOMM
Deployable Base Station also make it a perfect technology for both law
enforcement and military applications,' said
Brian Caskey, vice president of
worldwide marketing at UTStarcom, Inc. 'The system is designed to be light
enough to be vehicle mounted, meaning it can be forward deployed in remote
locations with no communications infrastructure and maintain reliable
communications via satellite back to the base or central office.'
