BEIJING, CHINA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/19/07 -- Guests at Hilton Beijing, one of the city's premiere luxury hotels, are enjoying the benefits of unified communications from Nortel(1) (TSX: NT)(NYSE: NT) that put advanced information services at their fingertips.

The Hilton Beijing(2), which offers more than 360 rooms and suites in the heart of Beijing's commercial and diplomatic district, has been upgrading its network with a hospitality solution from Nortel that supports a range of unified communications capabilities. The technology integrates the hotel's in-house phone system, front-desk management system and broadband Internet services to provide unified communications for its guests and staff, anywhere, anytime.

individual or groups, providing amenities such as voicemail, wakeup
calls and advanced information services that can be self-configured
by guests from touch-screen IP phones in their rooms. Hilton
Beijing's converged IP network meets the demands of the new era of
Hyperconnectivity, in which everything that can be connected, is

able to use in-room Nortel color IP phones to access Beijing tourist
information, weather, flight information, and other relevant
information. The Nortel solution reinforces our hotel's reputation as
a premier destination for visitors." said Mr. Vlad Reyes, general
manager of Hilton Beijing.

reliable communications so they can work together to deliver a
world-class guest experience," said Jerry Huang, general manager of
Enterprise Networks, Nortel China. "Unified communications solutions
break down the barriers between voice, email, conferencing, video and
instant messaging. We deliver on our Business Made Simple promise,
helping customers reduce the complexity of hyperconnected networks by
simplifying the network infrastructure through the converged IP
network."

Nortel's hospitality solution for the Hilton Beijing is built on the

business-critical applications including unified communications and
customer support. Guest rooms are equipped with the Nortel IP Phone
