<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">ALAMEDA, Calif., Sept. 20, 2004
&#151; UTStarcom, Inc. (Nasdaq: UTSI), a global leader in IP access networking and
services, today announced it is conducting a conference call to discuss revised
guidance for Q3 and full-year 2004 revenue and GAAP earnings per share and
provide an update on the progress in executing on our globalization strategy.
The call will take place at 8:00 a.m. PDT/11:00 a.m. EDT today, Monday,
September 20. (Please see Conference Call section below for dial-in numbers.)</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;For several months now, we
have been discussing the transformation that UTStarcom is currently undergoing.
As UTStarcom evolves from a company that has dominated the PAS market in China
into a worldwide supplier of diverse telecom solution, we experience many of
the successes and challenges that are typical of a company undertaking a
transformation of this magnitude,&#148; said Hong Lu, chief executive officer and
president of UTStarcom. &#147;We have worked diligently to address the challenges
inherent to our rapid growth, which we discussed on the second quarter
conference call. We continue to see strong demand for our solutions in markets
outside of China, specifically in Japan, India, Latin America, Africa, Europe
and North America, and feel comfortable with our guidance of $4.0-4.3 billion
in revenue in 2005.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Over the last several years,
UTStarcom has experienced record revenue growth,&#148; Lu continued. &#147;The company
estimates that revenue will reach $2.8 billion in 2004, an increase of 40
percent from 2003 and 15 times the</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">company&#146;s revenue in 1999. The
company is committed to maintain both the top-line growth and GAAP
profitability as it executes on our aggressive geographical and product diversification
strategy.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">UTStarcom is adjusting its
fiscal guidance primarily as a result of the revenue recognition timing of the
approximately $290 million Japan Telecom contract announced today, as well as
the maturation of the PAS market in China.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The contract with Japan Telecom
contains both equipment and service elements, which are considered
connected.&#160; Revenue recognition rules
under U.S. GAAP require 100 percent deferral of the combined revenue until both
elements have been satisfied and delivered.&#160;
It is therefore likely that the entire approximately $290 million of
revenue will be deferred and recognized upon final acceptance during 2005. At
the time of the company&#146;s second quarter earnings conference call, the company
had initial purchase orders for and originally expected to recognize $220
million in revenues from this contract in the third and fourth quarters of
2004. Cash received in advance of the revenue recognition will be reflected as
a Customer Advance.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;While international bookings
are in place, service elements associated with the Japan Telecom contract are
impacting the timing of revenue recognition,&#148; said Mike Sophie, chief financial
officer of UTStarcom. &#147;We are committed to our globalization strategy and
delivering long-term results and shareholder value. Although the timing of
revenue recognition on international contracts affects us in the near-term, we
reiterate our guidance for 2005.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">International bookings continue
to be strong as UTStarcom moves towards realizing an approximate 50/50 split on
China and non-China revenue as the company enters 2005. Several significant
international customer wins have been announced of late, including recent
significant contract wins for its broadband products with BSNL in India and
Japan Telecom in Japan. UTStarcom has also signed its first CDMA infrastructure
contract and is seeing demand for its 3G TD-CDMA solutions from operators in
Europe and North America.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">While the company&#146;s
international revenue has increased, there has been a maturation of the PAS
market in China. Operators in China are slowing in</font></p>

foregoing statements regarding, without limitation, continued growth in demand
for UTStarcom&#146;s products, anticipated demand for the Company&#146;s products and
revenue from international markets, anticipated results of UTStarcom&#146;s
acquisition of Audivox Communications Corporation, anticipated improvements in
supply chain management and the timing for, and results of, the implementation
of such improvements, anticipated trends in PAS spending, subscriber growth and
revenues, anticipated timing for the recognition of revenue from certain
contracts, anticipated growth of the Company, anticipated trends in the mix of
the Company&#146;s China and non-China business, and the guidance given for
anticipated revenue and earnings per share for the third quarter and full year
of 2004 and for 2005 are forward-looking in nature and are subject to risks and
uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially.&#160; These factors include rapidly changing

of future research and development efforts, evolving product and applications
standards, reduction or delays in system deployments, product transitions,
potential non-realization of backlog, changes in demand for and acceptance of

uncertainties such as changes in government regulation and licensing
requirements, both in China and globally.&#160;
