Chunghwa Telecom, Nortel to Build Taiwan's First Integrated Local Government WiMAX Network

Taipei, Taiwan (ots/PRNewswire)

- Creating National Showcase for County-Wide Broadband Wireless
Access
TAIPEI, Taiwan, December 5 /PRNewswire/ --
A new Mobile WiMAX network in the northeastern county of Yilan,
built  by Chunghwa Telecom in association with Nortel(x) (NYSE/TSX:
NT) and  eASPNet, is to become the first fully integrated broadband
wireless network  driven by a local government under the
Mobile-Taiwan (M-Taiwan) project.
Radically impacting the daily lives of Yilan residents, visitors
and  businesses - and positioning the district as a national showcase
for  ubiquitous wireless broadband services - the WiMAX
infrastructure will  enable broadband wireless access to such
services as M-Learning, M-Commerce , M-Tour as well as video
surveillance and IPTV services.
"This initiative demonstrates the significance of Mobile WiMAX
technology in advancing the government's rapidly evolving M-Taiwan
project ," said Chun-Ming Hsieh, vice president, Chunghwa Telecom.
"Nortel is an  established leader in Taiwan's telecommunications
industry and we look  forward to working together in extending the
same integrated wireless  capabilities to other areas of Taiwan to
help bolster the competitiveness  of local economies."
"The people of Yilan will now be able to take the Internet with
them  wherever they go, and enjoy high-speed mobile access using
virtually any  wireless-enabled device," said Jackson Wu, president,
Greater China, Nortel . "This is a momentous step forward for the
M-Taiwan project."
Nortel is providing Chunghwa Telecom with next generation Mobile
WiMAX  base stations, based on the IEEE 802.16e standard,
incorporating Nortel's  patented MIMO antenna technology. Nortel's
MIMO is a key capability  enabling the provision of the most
demanding real-time applications such as  VoIP and voice over WiMAX.
Nortel will also provide an Access Service Network Gateway,
customer  premises equipment, and network management capabilities, as
well as network  integration and optimization services provided by
Nortel Global Services.  Nortel ranked number one in the global
markets for service provider  softswitches and gateways for the first
half of 2006, according to Synergy  Research Group. Nortel's Global
Services portfolio offers a full range of  network application,
implementation, and support services for end-to-end  multi-vendor
networks.
Taiwan is playing a pivotal role in Nortel's WiMAX development.
Nortel  recently signed an agreement with Chunghwa Telecom to deploy
a WiMAX  solution in the operator's experimental park to create an
environment for  testing WiMAX and integrating the technology with
the Nortel Wireless Mesh  Network solution deployed in Taipei and
Kaohsiung as part of the  government's M-Taiwan initiative. In
addition, Nortel is deploying a WiMAX  trial system at the National
Taiwan University campus, and has also  established a Center of
Excellence for Devices in Taipei.
Nortel is the only WiMAX vendor with products in virtually all
mobile  technologies currently available across both public and
wireless networks.  Nortel also owns dozens of patents in the
technologies underlying the WiMAX  standard, and the company's eight
years of work in OFDM/MIMO technology has  culminated with much of
its patented technology being accepted as the basis  for the global
WiMAX industry standard.
