cal ring tones, and GPS navigation functionality. In 2002, we’ll continue to innovate with a focus on features that leverage
the high-speed data capabilities of 2.5G and 3G networks, delivering broadband Internet access as well as CD-quality
audio-on-demand, full-motion video-on-demand, and videoconferencing capabilities that will usher in the mobile multi-
media communications era.
Network Equipment Reprising our role in the launch of the world’s first commercial CDMA service in 1996
and CDMA2000 1X service in 2000, we’re ready to help roll out CDMA2000 1xEV-DO service in early 2002 and WCDMA in the
latter half of the year, ushering in the world’s first true 3G commercial mobile services in Korea. This leadership in CDMA
technology has earned us a place in 3rd Generation Partnership Projects for both CDMA2000 and WCDMA as well as
industry groups that are just now beginning to discuss 4G standards.
In addition to follow-up CDMA equipment orders from Huchison Telecom Australia
and Sprint PCS during the year, we won contracts for equipment to serve 1.38 million subscribers in four major regional
markets in China. We also joined forces with Shanghai Bell to develop, produce, and market equipment, a partnership we
expect to deliver a substantial percentage of the 70-million subscriber lines forecast to be added across China through 2006.
Stepping up our offerings in the broadband network category, we introduced our AceMAP™and softswitch equip-
ment lines to give carriers the tools they need to make the transition to next-generation networks capable of handling mul-
timedia and data as effectively and reliably as voice traffic. We also signed ADSL and cable modem deals with major car-
riers in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China as we moved into the No. 4 position in 2001. We expect to vault into the No. 2 posi-
tion in 2002 as we continue expand our broadband subscriber equipment customer base worldwide.
