World's First International LTE Mobile Video Call Delivered with
Technology from Nortel and LG Electronics

BARCELONA, SPAIN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/16/09 --  Visitors to Mobile
World Congress in Barcelona, Spain will be able to see, talk to and
play games with LTE users in Bonn, Germany over the world's first
international end-to-end LTE connection. Nortel(1) (TSX: NT)(OTCBB:
NRTLQ) LTE infrastructure technology and LTE devices from LG
Electronics(2) will be used to stream live video between the
T-Mobile(2) booth at Mobile World Congress(2) and the company's
headquarters in Bonn, Germany.

LTE is a next generation wireless technology that delivers seamless
mobile broadband connectivity making applications like streaming HD
Video, interactive gaming, and video conferencing as accessible on
mobile devices as they are at home or the office. Using technology
from Nortel and LG Electronics, T-Mobile has set up an LTE trial
network (video, whitepaper) in Bonn that tests the potential ability
of LTE to deliver this mobile broadband lifestyle under real world
conditions. Visitors to T-Mobile's booth at Mobile World Congress
will be able to view live streaming video originating from a vehicle
as it travels around Bonn carrying an LTE mobile device.

For the past three months visitors to T-Mobile's headquarters in
Bonn have been able to look beyond the data speeds and capacity to
experience what the technology could bring to real life
communications T-Mobile is now bringing this experience to Barcelona
allowing visitors to their booth to interact with users in Bonn over
a mobile video connection and through popular applications like
multi-player gaming and social networking. This is how future
subscribers will use the Next Generation Mobile Networks to interact
with colleagues, family and friends while on the go.

"Nortel technology is at the heart of many of today's most
important wireless innovations, and we continue to invest in order to
help our customers deliver the mobile broadband experience of the
future," said Richard Lowe, president of Carrier Networks, Nortel.
"As the trend towards Hyperconnectivity continues, operators must
prepare to meet rising demand for a mobile Internet experience that
supports bandwidth intensive applications, like video, with the same
quality and reliability as fixed networks. T-Mobile's showcase and
our demonstrations at Mobile World Congress verify the capability of
Nortel's LTE technology to meet this demand in real world
conditions."

In addition to connecting T-Mobile's booth at Mobile World Congress
with the headquarters in Bonn, Nortel's LTE technology will also
power LTE demonstrations in LG Electronics' booth and in Nortel's
booth, both in hall 8 at the Fira. These demonstrations will show the
quality and reliability of live video streamed over LTE with
applications for video surveillance and video conferencing. These
networks operate in the 2.6 GHz spectrum frequency.

Each of these demonstrations will make use of the world's first LTE
handset (user equipment) modem chip(2) developed by LG Electronics.
The chip is integrated into a small data card that attaches to any
USB port.

"LG Electronics has developed breakthrough technology that brings
us a major step closer to putting LTE in the hands of consumers,"
said Dr. Jinsung Choi, vice president and head of LG Electronics'
Mobile Communication Technology Research Lab. "People are
increasingly using their mobile phones to create, send and watch
video, download music, and browse the Internet. LG Electronics' LTE
handset modem chip is a key component for creating LTE devices like
the USB dongles being demonstrated at Mobile World Congress. Such
devices will allow people to take advantage of the network speeds
offered by LTE to do these things anytime, anywhere."
