UTSI), a global leader in IP-based, end-to-end networking solutions and
services, will make its show debut at Gitex Dubai 2006, to be held at
the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from November
18-22, 2006.
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 voice
and data services in remote regions not previously reached with
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 designed to enable carriers to deploy revenue-generating broadcast
television and Video-on-Demand (VoD) services across their fixed-line
networks.
* Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (GEPON), which is
designed to cost effectively deliver voice, data and video services to
residential and business subscribers via a high-speed, Fiber-to-the
Home/Building (FTTH/FTTB) alternative to copper.
* A broad portfolio of handsets, both mobile and fixed wireless,
which are designed to connect users to GSM, CDMA and Wi-Fi networks.
