Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan's Largest Mobile and Fixed Operator, Deploys Azaire Networks' IP-CNP Solution for Integrating 3G and WLAN Dual Network Services.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Azaire Networks Inc., a leading provider of mobile broadband solutions, announced today that Chunghwa Mobile Business Group, part of Chunghwa Telecom, will deploy Azaire Networks' IP Converged Network Platform (IP-CNP). With the IP-CNP, Chunghwa Mobile will provide its subscribers seamless services across 2.5G, 3G and WLAN networks. Chunghwa Mobile subscribers will be able to use a notebook PC with a 3G data card, a PDA or a dual-mode handset to access unified services across different wireless networks. Elta Technology Company, Ltd., a leading systems house in broadband, video and multimedia solutions, will assist with the integration of Azaire's IP-CNP into Chunghwa Telecom's core network.

Azaire Networks' new 3GPP- and IETF-compliant Next Generation IP Converged Network Platform, announced on October 26, is the world's first convergence gateway on the AdvancedTCA(R) platform. It supports both legacy voice and data services, as well as future IMS services. The new IP-CNP provides Chunghwa Telecom with a standards based solution that leverages the company's 3G core network investments for subscriber management, traffic management, IP services, customer care and billing systems.

Azaire's IP-CNP will enable Chunghwa Telecom to cost effectively deliver seamless mobile broadband services to its subscribers everywhere. For example, a subscriber can roam between macrocellular 3G networks and WLAN zones, always receiving the best connected service that has an identical look and feel.

"We reviewed and tested the offerings and capabilities of several companies, and selected Azaire's IP Converged Network Platform because it is 3GPP compliant and provides the highest level of convergence across 3G, 2.5G and WLAN networks," said Mu-Piao Shih, Vice President of Chunghwa Telecom's Mobile Business Group. "The Azaire Networks solution supports Taiwan's Dual Network Initiative."

"Taiwan's Dual Network Initiative is a government-sponsored program to integrate 3G and WiFi networks throughout the island," said Bill Howe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Azaire Networks. "Chunghwa Mobile continues to demonstrate its leadership in mobile and broadband services with the selection of Azaire's Next Generation IP-CNP. We are delighted to have Chunghwa as a new customer."
