Hong Kong, September 19, 2006 - PCCW Limited (PCCW) today announced that two large-scale technical services outsourcing contracts have been awarded to PCCW-HKT Telephone Limited by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government to provide support to the Civil Aviation Department and Marine Department, facilitating safe and efficient air traffic and navigation operations.

The two 10-year contracts, worth a combined HK$800 million, will be managed by PCCW Solutions, the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) arm of PCCW. PCCW-HKT Telephone Limited is a subsidiary of PCCW, and has provided round-the-clock technical support to the two government departments for more than 35 years.

With HKIA being one of the world's busiest airports, these systems, which cover Air Traffic Management, Radar, Navigational Aids and Communications, are crucial to maintaining a safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic.

Under the second outsourcing contract, valued at more than HK$200 million, PCCW will handle the technical operations and maintenance of three hilltop radio stations located at Victoria Peak, Mount Butler and Cape D'Aguilar. These stations are jointly used as telecommunication hubs by the Civil Aviation Department and Marine Department for air traffic control and port services. PCCW will ensure the provision of reliable aviation and maritime telecommunications that facilitates the protection of flight and navigation safety, and search and rescue operations.

Jack So, Deputy Chairman and Group Managing Director of PCCW, said: "PCCW is committed to providing the best ICT skills and expertise to the Government and the community.
