Nortel Unveils a Broad Range of Digital Mobile TV Solutions at 3GSM World Congress 2006

Barcelona, Spain (ots/PRNewswire)

Nortel(1) (NYSE: NT ; TSX: NT)
is demonstrating a series of new mobile TV solutions at 3GSM World
Congress 2006, Barcelona, Spain that highlight how mobile operators
can capitalize on the surging user demand for video services.
Currently, 3G operators are looking at the most efficient ways to
deliver TV content to their subscribers while taking advantage of
their existing cellular networks. Nortel is demonstrating the
performance and power of its 3G-enabled Digital Mobile TV and Digital
Broadcast solutions to help deliver more cost-efficient and high
quality services.
"Our strong presence in South Korea, where mobile TV is really
taking off, has given us valuable insight into the revenue
possibilities that it can bring to operators," said Peter MacKinnon,
president GSM and UMTS networks, Nortel and Chairman LG-Nortel.
"Here, at the 3GSM World Congress, we are demonstrating a full choice
of solutions designed to help operators to deliver a truly live,
mobile, TV experience, while maximizing revenues per user."
Nortel plans to demonstrate improved image quality of video
content delivered 'on the go' through its live HSDPA network. Using
Category 6 HSDPA terminals receiving information at 3.6 Megabits per
second, the demonstrations highlights how operators could add video
services at lower cost per bit, without requiring additional
spectrum.
Nortel is also highlighting how 3G-operators will be able to
smoothly integrate 3G Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS),
a 3GPP industry standard, into their 3G access portfolio. MBMS will
initially offer the possibility to simultaneously broadcast - or
multicast - a limited number of TV channels. The evolution to next
generation access technology including MIMO-OFDM (Nortel's HSOPA
solution) is planned to unleash the capabilities of MBMS allowing the
multicast of a far higher number of TV channels.
In addition, Nortel intends to demonstrate how mobile operators
can take advantage of Nortel's DVB-H solution through its integration
into their existing cellular infrastructure. This integrated DVB-H
solution offers increased in-building penetration for improved
consumer experience, facilities to multiplex both local and national
content, and a common billing and network management solution.
To highlight the possibilities and enhanced user experience of
Mobile TV, LG-Nortel UMTS and HSDPA customer, SK Telecom will be
present on Nortel's booth demonstrating its digital mobile multimedia
broadcasting service available today in South Korea.
Nortel's full choice of Mobile TV solutions and demonstrations can
be seen at the Nortel booth in hall 8, stand A06, 3GSM World
Congress, Barcelona from today, February 13 through February 16.

The results or events predicted in these statements may differ
materially from actual results or events. Factors which could cause
results or events to differ from current expectations include, among

the ongoing independent review with respect to revenues for specific
identified transactions, which review will have a particular emphasis
on the underlying conduct that led to the initial recognition of
these revenues; the restatement or revisions of Nortel's previously
announced or filed financial results and resulting negative
publicity; the existence of material weaknesses in Nortel's internal
control over financial reporting and the conclusion of Nortel's
management and independent auditor that Nortel's internal control
over financial reporting is ineffective, which could continue to
impact Nortel's ability to report its results of operations and
financial condition accurately and in a timely manner; the impact of
Nortel's and NNL's failure to timely file their financial statements
and related periodic reports, including Nortel's inability to access

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); the impact of management
changes, including the termination for cause of Nortel's former CEO,
CFO and Controller in April 2004; the sufficiency of Nortel's
restructuring activities, including the work plan announced on August
19, 2004 as updated on September 30, 2004 and December 14, 2004,
including the potential for higher actual costs to be incurred in
connection with restructuring actions compared to the estimated costs
of such actions; cautious or reduced spending by Nortel's customers;
increased consolidation among Nortel's customers and the loss of
customers in certain markets; fluctuations in Nortel's operating

growth rates; fluctuations in Nortel's cash flow, level of
outstanding debt and current debt ratings; Nortel's monitoring of the
capital markets for opportunities to improve its capital structure
and financial flexibility; Nortel's ability to recruit and retain
qualified employees; the use of cash collateral to support Nortel's
normal course business activities; the dependence on Nortel's
subsidiaries for funding; the impact of Nortel's defined benefit
plans and deferred tax assets on results of operations and Nortel's
cash flow; the adverse resolution of class actions, litigation in the
ordinary course of business, intellectual property disputes and
similar matters; Nortel's dependence on new product development and
its ability to predict market demand for particular products;
Nortel's ability to integrate the operations and technologies of
acquired businesses in an effective manner; the impact of rapid
technological and market change; the impact of price and product
competition; barriers to international growth and global economic
conditions, particularly in emerging markets and including interest
rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; the impact of
rationalization and consolidation in the telecommunications industry;
changes in regulation of the Internet; the impact of the credit risks
of Nortel's customers and the impact of customer financing and
commitments; general stock market volatility; negative developments
associated with Nortel's supply contracts and contract manufacturing
agreements, including as a result of using a sole supplier for a key
component of certain optical networks solutions; the impact of
Nortel's supply and outsourcing contracts that contain delivery and
installation provisions, which, if not met, could result in the
