Paradyne Continues Push for Intelligent Networks with Advanced ADSL2+ Modems

     Paradyne's New 6200 and 6300 Series Modems Win with Advanced
       Management Features, Improved Reach, and Integrated WiFi

   Paradyne (NASDAQ:PDYN), a leading provider of triple play
broadband loop carriers (BLCs) and Ethernet access equipment, today
announced the immediate availability of enhanced CPE for residential
markets with its new 6300 family of ADSL2+ modems. With service
providers continuing a trend toward multi-service and triple play
networks, there is also a need for a highly manageable and reliable
residential CPE with flexible in-home networking options. Paradyne is
fulfilling this need with a flexible and powerful family of modems,
building on the company's already strong market position -- with
ADSL2+ CPE shipments reaching one quarter million units since 
January 2003.
   By adding both intelligent management features, in-home networking
capabilities, and dual-mode operations that support either ReachDSL or
standards-based ADSL2+ from a single CPE, Paradyne is able to satisfy
several different deployment profiles from a single device.
   "We deploy ADSL2+ where we can, but we have some customers who are
on very long loops," said Bruce Hoekstra, Internet Support Services
Supervisor from Arvig Communication Systems (ACS). "Paradyne's 6381
modems allow us to provide both ADSL2+ for high bandwidth applications
on normal loops and ReachDSL on longer loops -- all from a single
box."
   Advanced features include an integrated 4-port Ethernet router
and/or a WiFi access node to simplify in-home networking, an
integrated firewall for security, and enhanced management and
diagnostics features such as Dual End Loop Testing (DELT). New CPE
sales are often motivated by end-users looking to simplify their
in-home networks by upgrading to higher capacity integrated devices.
Paradyne's success as a residential CPE manufacturer is due in part to
the delivery of all of these options alongside new diagnostics and
management capabilities that support multi-service networks of voice,
video and data.
   "Intelligent ADSL2+ CPE is another example of how Paradyne
continues to lead the market with the most advanced access solutions,
making deployment easy and cost efficient for our customers," said
Teresa Sperry, senior product manager, Paradyne. "Service Providers
are now able to get the CPE and BLC/DSLAM from a single source and
have only one contact for supply, deployment planning and support."
