      Chunghwa Telecom deploys Newport Networks 1460 in their VoIP Network


Caldicot UK, 29th May, 2007 - Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan's largest integrated
telecommunications operator, has deployed Newport Networks' 1460 session border
controller in its VoIP network. The Newport 1460 provides secure access for
Chunghwa Telecom's VoIP subscribers and builds the foundation to meet future
mandatory Lawful Interception requirements.

The Newport Networks 1460 provides a comprehensive suite of regulatory and
security features to the Chunghwa VoIP network:

Lawful Interception - the 1460 offers a complete Lawful Interception solution
for VoIP service providers. This makes it possible for Chunghwa Telecom to
address the regulatory requirements in Taiwan.

Revenue Protection - Newport's 1460 Session Border Controller prevents service
fraud by policing calls to ensure that subscribers cannot use more bandwidth
than they have negotiated.

Core Network Protection - adds critical security policies that prevent Denial of
Service (DoS) attacks from impacting core network equipment such as
Softswitches. The 1460 provides complete topology hiding for the network,
ensuring that the overall topology is not exposed to attacks while also securing
privacy of the subscriber base.

Node Protection - shields the 1460 itself from malicious Denial of Service
attacks. The 1460's unique carrier-class design incorporates physically separate
management and data planes to ensure that DoS attacks cannot disrupt management
data.

"Newport worked closely with our local partner CTC Union to deliver the
solution," said Michael Li, Vice President of Newport Networks, Asia Pacific.
"Newport's ability to deliver a complete solution for both session border
control and Lawful Interception has been a key factor in meeting the needs of
Chunghwa Telecom."

"We are very pleased be working with Newport," commented CTC Union's CEO Micro
Chang. "The product gives us the ability to provide an integrated SBC and Lawful
Interception solution to our customers in Taiwan."
