BelAir Networks and Lucent Technologies to Provide Advanced Wireless Network for Global Business Conference.

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- BelAir Networks Wireless Multi-service Switch Routers To Deliver Free Internet Access to Conference Attendees at Taipei's Prestigious Grand Hotel

BelAir Networks and Lucent Technologies (NYSE:LU) today announced that they will provide a free wireless broadband network to supply data services to attendees at the Global Business Dialogue on Electronic Commerce (GBDe) conference, to be held at the Taipei Grand Hotel from June 30 - July 1, 2005.

The GBDe is a worldwide, CEO-led business initiative, established in January 1999 to assist the development of a global policy framework for the online economy. The conference is hosted by Chunghwa Telecom (CHT), one of the most experienced and largest integrated telecommunications operators in Taiwan.

The BelAir Networks and Lucent wireless infrastructure will allow conference attendees and presenters a way to share information and ideas quickly and easily. The network is being provided under the global agreement the two companies announced earlier this year. Under that agreement, Lucent Worldwide Services (LWS) and BelAir work together to pursue joint business opportunities by making BelAir's family of advanced wireless networking products available through Lucent's global sales channels to service providers, enterprises and government accounts. Lucent Worldwide Services enhances BelAir's offer by providing a full suite of services including deployment, maintenance, professional and managed services.

"The BelAir Networks approach to advanced wireless networking has a strong track record of success in the hospitality and metro sectors," said Maurice Liu, Chairman and President, Lucent Technologies Taiwan Communications. "BelAir's multi-service architecture and its unique approach for providing wireless broadband coupled with the Lucent services expertise makes it an ideal solution for hotels where high capacity must be integrated with ease-of-implementation and a discrete design that blends into the environment."

Lucent and BelAir Networks will install five BelAir200 four-radio wireless multi-service switch routers to support carrier-grade voice, video and data services at the GBDe conference.

"We are proud to work with our partners, Lucent Taiwan and Chunghwa Telecom, to provide high-speed Internet access to GBDe conference attendees," said Bernard Herscovich, president and chief executive officer, BelAir Networks. "It's an honor to have our wireless mesh networking solution chosen for this prestigious global conference."
