UTStarcom Earns First-Place Product Rating in Heavy Reading Multiservice Access Platform Competitive Analysis22 November 2005
UTStarcom, Inc. (Nasdaq: UTSI), a global leader in IP-based, end-to-end networking solutions and services, today announced that the company's iAN-8000(TM) multiservice access platform (MSAP) earned a first-place product rating in Heavy Reading's MSAP Competitive Analysis. Based on the recent report, the iAN-8000 was the top scorer in the central-office MSAP category. This is the second top rating for UTStarcom in Heavy Reading's broadband competitive analyses. In August, UTStarcom's AN-2000 B1000(TM) ranked first place in four categories for Heavy Reading's companion report on the IP DSLAM sector. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20051013/SFTH063LOGO ) "Heavy Reading's MSAP report presents the most comprehensive competitive analysis of multiservice access platforms in the industry. We evaluated every important aspect of functionality and performance of 44 MSAP products from 21 major telecom manufacturers and determined which platforms offer service providers the best overall choice for different applications," said Dennis Mendyk, managing director at Heavy Reading. "UTStarcom's iAN-8000 topped the central-office MSAPs -- a key category for service providers as they continue to build out their networks to deliver a full range of broadband services. UTStarcom earns first place in this category because of the iAN-8000's high density and scalability, and the quality of its features and services. The iAN-8000 had an impressive all-around performance with perfect scores in the QoS and subscriber ID and security categories."

UTStarcom designed the iAN-8000 based on our proven IP DSLAM and IP softswitching technologies to enable converged services via one flexible, scalable, and cost-effective platform," said Bill Huang, chief technology officer and senior vice president of engineering for UTStarcom. "We believe the iAN-8000 is a highly efficient way for service providers to capitalize on the demand for VoIP and advanced broadband applications. By supporting TDM, VoIP, and other IP-based services all over the same lines, the iAN-8000 is designed to enable operators to add new services and applications without incurring additional infrastructure expenses." The iAN-8000 converges the functionalities of several longstanding UTStarcom technologies within a single chassis. It can be configured to deploy a wide range of narrowband and broadband voice and data applications to subscribers over a wireline network infrastructure.
