Green Packet 1st in the World to Launch Comprehensive WiMAX CPE Series

Business Wire, Oct 1, 2008

CHICAGO -- Green Packet Berhad (MYX:GPACKET) today signed an agreement with Alcatel-Lucent to jointly promote its WiMAX Rev-e (802.16e) products, including Green Packet's new WiMAX Rev-e Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) and Intouch Connection Manager (CM) software.

This partnership also signifies the very first international launch of a comprehensive series of WiMAX CPE by one company. Green Packet's devices which include outdoor and indoor subscriber modems and USB dongles will be widely distributed to Telecommunications Service Providers across the globe.

Green Packet is confident of the quality and reliability of its WiMAX CPE because the devices were field-tested for interoperability by Packet One Networks (P1) which was first to launch WiMAX Rev-e commercial services in Malaysia and the Asia Pacific region in August this year. Green Packet's WiMAX Rev-e CPEs are also undergoing comprehensive and stringent interoperability testing (IOT) under Alcatel-Lucent's Open Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) Program, which has been established to accelerate the development of a global and open WiMAX ecosystem.

"We are proud to collaborate with Alcatel-Lucent, the global WiMAX Rev-e market leader. We are also confident we will enjoy success in many markets with Telcos and ISPs because of the functional, modern design and consumer appeal of our devices and, more importantly, because these products are proven in-market," said Kelvin Lee, Senior General Manager, Green Packet.

"This collaboration with Green Packet will further enhance the widespread adoption and development of WiMAX Rev-e in the Asia Pacific and it is further evidence of the key role Alcatel-Lucent's Open CPE Program is playing in the WiMAX Rev-e eco-system," said Karim El Naggar, Vice President and head of Alcatel-Lucent's WiMAX activities.

Green Packet's WiMAX Rev-e CPE comes complete with its Intouch CM software. Intouch is a lifestyle-centric solution which provides Operators with revenue-generating value-added services and applications which help to increase ARPU (Average Revenue per User).

Intouch also addresses the need for Telcos and ISPs to overcome the constant challenge of network congestion, by offloading bandwidth intensive networks to a WiFi network. This key advantage has been one of the reasons for its take-up by many Telcos in Asian markets.

Green Packet's products and solutions are currently showcased at the Alcatel-Lucent booth #427, Hall F1, World WiMAX Exhibition and Conference, McCormick Place Convention Center, Chicago, USA.
