YAKUM, Israel -- Metalink Ltd. (NASDAQ: MTLK), a global provider and developer of high performance wireline and wireless broadband communication silicon solutions, announced it will showcase the fastest available VDSL connectivity at the Networld + Interop 2004 Tokyo, June 30th to July 2nd, at booth #3B07. In addition to the live 100 Mbps demonstration, Metalink will be featuring complete systems of its Japanese customer's powered by Metalink's best performing VDSLPlusTM chipsets.

The demonstration will be powered by Metalink's ultra-fast VDSLPlus chipsets, which deliver 100 Mbps downstream and 50 Mbps upstream, the fastest VDSL speeds available. Operating over standard copper telephone wiring, VDSLPlus extracts the maximum copper capacity, allowing a smooth, seamless migration toward the ultimate goal of symmetric 100 Mbps service-the equivalent of fiber. Metalink's wide bandwidth VDSLPlus technology achieves best performance while maintaining complete spectrum compatibility with existing services such as ISDN, ADSL, ADSL2+, and others.

One year after Metalink unveiled its VDSLPlus technology concept at Networld + Interop 2003, Metalink is now presenting fully commercial systems from multiple Japanese and International top-tier telecom vendors at Networld + Interop 2004. Volume shipment of Metalink's VDSLPlus chipsets have commenced to support the large demand for 100 Mbps fiber-speed products and are currently under evaluation by major carriers in Japan and worldwide.
