[Korea Telecom Deploys Newbridge Networks Broadband Wireless Solution] NEWBRIDGE Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS) Enables Simultaneous High-Speed Delivery of LAN, Internet, Voice and Two-Way Video Services KANATA, ONTARIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 1998--Newbridge Networks today announced that Korea Telecom, the country's national telecommunications carrier and eighth largest service provider in the world, has selected the Newbridge integrated broadband wireless communication solution for its first deployment of Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS) in Korea. The decision comes on the heels of two multi-hundred million dollar broadband wireless contracts awarded to Newbridge by MaxLinkCommunications Inc. and WIC Connexus, holders of Local Multipoint Communication Systems (LMCS) licenses in Canada. LMCS and LMDS refer to high frequency broadband wireless systems operating in the 28GHz band, that deliver data, Internet, voice, video, and multimedia services to business and residential customers. Using point-to-multipoint millimeter wave technology, LMDS provides a cost-effective, high-capacity "last mile" access solution that effectively extends the reach of Korea Telecom's fiber infrastructure to simultaneously deliver high-speed, state-of-the-art services. This will provide more customers with access to data, Internet, voice, two-way video and other multimedia applications. Korea Telecom is the first established service provider in the world to deploy this technology. "With the advanced functionality of the Siemens / Newbridge MainStreetXpress(tm) 36170 Multiservices Switch, which delivers asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and integral wireless technologies as part of a broad array of multi-service and multi-access offerings, we can offer our customers high-quality, state-of-the-art services at the best possible prices," said Dr. Hanwook Jung, Wireless Multimedia Team, Korea Telecom. "Our ongoing relationship with the Newbridge team will provide us with the expertise we need to implement this important project and adapt our network to meet our customers' changing needs well into the future." The comprehensive Newbridge broadband wireless solution consists of a multi-service network that includes both base station and customer premises equipment. The base station consists of the Newbridge MainStreetXpress 36170 Multiservices Switch and point-to-multipoint transmitters and receivers. The customer premises equipment includes tranceivers and network interface units (NIUs), which provide connectivity to in-building wiring for T1, Ethernet and video applications. The industry-leading MainStreetXpress 46020 Network Manager will handle Korea Telecom's network management requirements. The system also provides billing, statistics and maintenance support. By incorporating ATM into the broadband wireless environment, the Newbridge solution provides Korea Telecom with flexibility in high-bandwidth, two-way services, with guaranteed quality of service for the establishment of deterministic service level agreements. Another key network feature is that available spectrum is optimally used through dynamic bandwidth allocation, providing statistical gain in the network. "This project reinforces our position as a total solutions provider in the broadband wireless market, and represents a milestone in which ATM functionality is fully integrated into the wireless environment," commented Ken Park, Managing Director, Newbridge Networks, Korea. "This is another significant achievement, following closely on the Company's success with the KT (Korea Telecom) Fiber City project last year, which was the largest commercial deployment of switched virtual circuits (SVCs) in the world and the first commercial delivery of a broad range of advanced high speed services." As the deployment progresses, Korea Telecom will leverage this new broadband wireless multi-service, multi-access ATM network for multimedia applications that include videoconferencing, telemedicine and distance learning.

Well, the day is done and bupkus. NASDAQ up over 90: WCII up 1 1/4 on low volume. We are just not there yet. Imagine if the NASDAQ had dropped 90+. Guarantee that we would have lost multiples of 1 1/4. The buying is just not there yet. We are going nowhere until those shorts are convinced to cover.
