<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;">ALAMEDA,
Calif., Sept. 20, 2004&#151; UTStarcom, Inc. (Nasdaq: UTSI), a global leader in IP
access networking and services, today announced that Japan Telecom Co., Ltd., a
wholly owned subsidiary of SOFTBANK Corp., has awarded it an approximately $290
million contract to supply its new iAN-8000 Multi-Service Access Node (MSAN)
equipment and to manage a sales promotion program for Japan Telecom.</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;">Japan
Telecom is deploying UTStarcom&#146;s iAN-8000 as part of a next-generation network
it is building that it believes will ultimately provide fixed-line service to
all of Japan, from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu in the south.&#160; The company will use the equipment to
deliver a wide variety of services such as converged voice, data, WiFi, and eventually
video and unicast television streaming. This transaction was awarded on a
competitive basis.</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;We had
several compelling reasons for selecting UTStarcom&#146;s iAN-8000,&#148; said Mr.
Miyakawa, director and executive vice president of Japan Telecom.&#160; &#147;We believe that the platform is
cost-effective because it combines several functions in one unit.&#160; While our new service will initially carry
voice and data traffic, the iAN-8000 will enable us to provide other IP
services over the same network in the future.&#160;
Japan Telecom is also working on a very tight schedule.&#160; We believe that UTStarcom has the
manufacturing resources to deliver the units we need, when we need them, so we
can start our new service as planned.&#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;">The new
iAN-8000 combines the functions of UTStarcom&#146;s AN-2000 IP-based Digital Subscriber
Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), the iAN-2000 Voice over IP (VoIP) Media
Gateway, and a traditional Digital Loop Carrier (DLC).&#160; Japan Telecom will deploy the multi-function
broadband access platform to support approximately ten million existing and new
subscriber lines.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Due to
the addition of the promotional element in the contract, UTStarcom is required
under U.S. GAAP regulations to defer 100 percent of the revenue recognition
until receipt of final acceptance for both products and services, which is
expected to occur during 2005.</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;This
contract is very significant for UTStarcom; it is the first contract and first
product element in what we believe will be a series of contracts and products
that will enable Japan Telecom to deliver a new level of revenue-generating
services,&#148; said Hong Lu, president and chief executive of UTStarcom.&#160; &#147;We believe the iAN-8000 will help Japan
Telecom start its new facilities with a scalable, high-density, next-generation
platform that will enable the company to add a wide variety of IP-based
services to its portfolio well into the future.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">UTStarcom
expects it will deliver the majority of the iAN-8000 equipment during the third
and fourth quarters of 2004.&#160;
Promotional services are expected to occur over the next nine to twelve
month period.</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 terms
of the agreement specify that Japan Telecom is to remit 50 percent of the
contract value in cash to UTStarcom within one month of the execution of the
contract.&#160; Cash for the remaining 50
percent will be due shortly after delivery of the equipment.</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;">This
agreement has both equipment and service elements, which are considered
linked.&#160; Revenue recognition treatment
under U.S. GAAP as promulgated per Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, requires 100
percent deferral of revenue until both elements have been satisfied and
delivered.&#160; Therefore, the entire $290
million of revenue will be deferred and recognized upon final acceptance,
during 2005.&#160; Cash received in advance
of the revenue recognition will be reflected as a Customer Advance.</font></p>

<h2 style="font-weight:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;page-break-after:avoid;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The foregoing statements regarding,
without limitation, the amount of revenue expected to be generated under the
contract with Japan Telecom, the cost-effectiveness of the iAN-8000, the
deployment of UTStarcom&#146;s products by Japan Telecom and the ability of Japan
Telecom to expand its networks and services and to increase its subscriber
volume 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 technology, the changing
nature of Japan&#146;s telecommunications market, evolving product and application
standards, changes or delays in product introductions and deployments, possible
downturns in the markets of Japan generally and worldwide, the termination of
significant contracts, partnerships or alliances, specifically with Japan
Telecom, and other uncertainties, such as changes in government </font></h2>
