January 31, 2005

Starent Networks announced Zapp has deployed the Starent ST16 Intelligent Mobile Gateway for 3G packet data service. Zapp is the only Romanian mobile operator providing voice and high-speed data communications services, based on CDMA450 (CDMA2000 1X and 1xEV-DO in the 450 MHz band).

As one of the initial CDMA450 1xEV-DO deployments in Europe, Zapp will utilize the Starent ST16 Intelligent Mobile Gateway to provide wireless broadband Internet services to its clients. The service features data speeds up to 2.4 Megabits per second (Mbps), making it among the fastest mobile data networks in Europe. Zapp subscribers will be able to access advanced services such as high-speed e-mail access, games, ringtones, videoconferencing, video messaging, multimedia downloads and more.

"It is clear that Zapp is dedicated to offering its subscribers the most advanced services and technologies. Our best-in-class platform, global presence and strong customer support fits well with Zapp's goals of excellence," said Ashraf Dahod, president and CEO of Starent Networks.

Zapp had several key criteria in its selection of core data networking solutions, such as carrier-class availability, high throughput, advanced service delivery capabilities and strong customer support. After several months of performance and interoperability testing, Zapp determined that Starent Networks and its ST16 Intelligent Mobile Gateway is the only platform to meet these requirements.

"It is absolutely critical that Zapp deploys solutions that have exceptional performance characteristics and will provide our subscribers with a rich service experience," said Victor Stan, chief technology officer of Zapp.
