Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 2001

CirTran Corp. (Pink Sheets: CIRT), the largest non-captive contract manufacturer in Utah, providing complete turnkey solutions, Thursday announced that Nortel Networks Corp. (NYSE: NT) chose the CirTran production process for some of Nortel's latest communication equipment.

The production work for Nortel's new product is called the "CallPilot." "CallPilot" is a unified messaging tool that brings together voicemail, e-mail and fax to create a personal communications management system that can be easily used through voice commands from virtually anywhere.

As unit sales for the "CallPilot" rise, CirTran is expecting production orders from Nortel to go up presenting a significant contract manufacturing opportunity for CirTran.

As an approved manufacturer for Nortel, CirTran is now qualified to bid on other contract manufacturing opportunities that become available. These opportunities are only open to "approved" contract manufacturers. The due diligence involved in becoming an approved contract manufacturer for Nortel is an intense process.

A quality control engineer from Nortel audited the CirTran production process, and has confirmed that every step of the CirTran manufacturing process is done according to industry quality guidelines.

CirTran Corp., which recently filed to gain a listing on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board, is currently awaiting approval of its Form 15c211. Acceptance of Form 15c211, and the listing of the shares on the Nasdaq OTCBB market will provide access to a much broader base of investors, and should provide additional opportunities for financing and expansion through potential acquisitions.
