Nortel Provides High-Speed Access to World's Tallest Residential Apartment Building; Data FX Uses Nortel Technology to Deliver H

Q1, the world's tallest residential apartment building,
has been equipped by technology provider Data FX with a high-speed
data network from Nortel (NYSE:NT)(TSX:NT). The network provides
broadband Internet access to the tower's 526 apartments.
   A flagship development of the Sunland Group (ASX:SDG), Q1 is set
to become the latest high-profile landmark in Australia's famous Gold
Coast resort town, Surfers Paradise.
   "Q1 represents the pinnacle of apartment-style living on the Gold
Coast, blending the resort town's relaxed lifestyle with the modern
conveniences and high-tech networking infrastructure typically
reserved for major urban centres," said Daniel Thompson, chief
operating officer, Data FX.
   "As a solution provider for multi-billion dollar residential and
commercial developments throughout Australia we're responsible for
ensuring our customers - and their customers - get the best possible
experience from our technology solutions," Thompson said. "That's why
Nortel, with its proven technology, was chosen for Q1, and why we'll
continue specifying Nortel for major developments where carrier-grade
availability, speed and reliability are simply non-negotiable."
   "Service providers like Data FX are increasingly using Nortel's
technology to deliver carrier grade services to a wide range of
customers such as property developers, neighbourhood communities and
multinational enterprises," said Mark Stevens, president, Australia
and New Zealand, Nortel.
   "The network deployed throughout Q1 means that work does not need
to be a place you go, but rather a thing you do," Stevens said. "Using
Nortel technology, Data FX has delivered a solution that is designed
to give Q1 residents access to the same powerful business
infrastructure enjoyed by millions of business users in major
financial centres. This means they can enjoy the lifestyle benefits of
this magnificent development without foregoing access to the same rich
multimedia and networking facilities they rely on for their business.
It's literally the best of both worlds."
   Data FX provides Q1 residents with broadband Internet services
routed through Nortel's Ethernet switched infrastructure to each
apartment.
   "One of the unique features of our Q1 solution is two-way Internet
access, which means upload speeds match download speeds for a faster,
less restricted experience," Thompson said. "This means guests and
residents can enjoy all the benefits of a super-fast network like
video-on-demand and real-time video conferencing."
   Q1 is the world's tallest residential tower, featuring 526 one,
two and three bedroom apartments, 80 floors, conference facilities,
ground floor retail outlets, sandy beach lagoon swimming pool, spa,
sauna and fitness centre, and Australia's only beachside observation
deck.
