May 10, 2005 Hayward, CA -- Fujitsu Telecommunications Europe announced today that it has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Terawave Communications to develop and market PON access platforms. According to a press release, the agreement combines Fujitsu's market share in broadband access technology with Terawave's PON technology, to create a range of integrated, managed products for GPON access.

"This agreement with Terawave reflects our commitment to provide our carrier customers with broader, more comprehensive systems, based on established relationships and genuinely integrated technologies reflecting the carriers' clear requirement to work more closely with a smaller number of vendors in their networks," comments Andy Stevenson, general manager for Fujitsu Telecommunications Europe. "Both Fujitsu and Terawave hold the same customer-responsive ideals, and we look forward to a highly successful working partnership."

"We are honored by the opportunity to partner with Fujitsu to integrate our products and technology into the Fujitsu GeoStream Access Gateway multi service access portfolio," adds Ray Lin, chairman and CEO of Terawave. "This agreement confirms our strategic commitment to the UK and European markets."
