UTStarcom, Inc. (Nasdaq: UTSI), a global leader in IP-based, end-to-end networking solutions and services, today announced deployment of its MovingMedia(R) 2000 core network solution with SeaMobile, Inc., a leading provider of advanced at-sea wireless voice communications and data applications, to provide wireless GSM voice and data services at sea.

Today's announcement marks the first deployment of UTStarcom's new MovingMedia 2000 all-IP GSM network solution. In October 2006, UTStarcom announced deployment of its MovingMedia(TM) 2000 all-IP core network solution with SeaMobile to deliver wireless CDMA voice and data services.

"UTStarcom's MovingMedia all-IP wireless network technology provides a flexible platform for mobile operators to deliver both CDMA and GSM wireless voice and data services to their end users over the same core infrastructure," said Jack Mar, president of the CDMA/GSM division at UTStarcom, Inc. "With all traffic being routed via satellite transmission back to a unified core network, our carrier customers can deploy both GSM and CDMA base stations to help ensure that all wireless users -- regardless of the service they use - have sufficient coverage."

"UTStarcom is a flexible, responsive and collaborative technical partner in providing wireless voice and data solutions to our maritime customers," said Jim Ellis, chief technology officer at SeaMobile. "For both our initial CDMA deployment last year as well as our more recent deployment of their new MovingMedia 2000 GSM-based wireless network solution, UTStarcom has worked with SeaMobile to deploy more than 70 base stations and related core infrastructure in record time, helping us to rapidly offer the services our customers require."
