The Implicity platform continues to offer many of the IP messaging and
service delivery benefits available with UTStarcom's first-generation Personal
Communications Management System (PCMS) platform, but has been enhanced to
include many new and exciting features such as multimedia and video mail
capabilities.

'The debut of Implicity demonstrates UTStarcom's commitment to providing
carriers with the evolution path towards IMS,' said
David King, senior vice
president of international sales and marketing at UTStarcom, Inc. 'This
platform enables us to now offer operators a cost-effective approach to their
IMS deployments around the world by delivering an intriguing new, interactive
messaging experience to their customers.'

Enhanced and Distributed Network Architecture

Implicity is an enhanced IP messaging platform that supports many network
architecture designs, including those used by wireless and broadband
subscribers. This SIP-based system provides carrier-class system reliability
on agnostic, non-proprietary technology, and it does not require any complex,
underlying specialized hardware - making it easy to customize.

Scalable and Flexible Platform

UTStarcom's Implicity platform maintains the bandwidth parameters to
handle millions of subscribers at entry-level cost performance, and it has the
capability of supporting a Centrex/wholesale model. This new IP platform also
supports an intuitive service creation environment that houses an emergency
notification application, location-based services and additional products.

With UTStarcom's Implicity, carriers can provide converged, rich revenue-
generating services, including video e-mail, instant messaging, standard e-
mail, voicemail and conferencing through an IMS-enabling architecture. The
interoperability capabilities of this platform also will enable residential,
mobile and business-centric users to communicate with and gain immediate
access to voice and data messages stored on any of their other handheld
devices - from equipped cell phones to PDAs, smartphones and SIP phones.

'UTStarcom's new Implicity platform truly offers the next generation of IP
messaging and data transfer,' said
Brian Caskey, vice president of worldwide
marketing for UTStarcom, Inc. 'As the industry is evolving, UTStarcom will
continue to stay ahead of the curve by working with our clients - and their
end users - to develop and deploy the technologies that will enable them to
stay competitive in the marketplace.'
