Tuesday May 13, 9:01 am ET
Features Advanced Intel Processor, Meets Rigorous Environmental Standards


SCHAUMBURG, Ill., May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola (NYSE: MOT - News) today announced its newest ruggedized wireless-enabled computing solutions, the ML900(TM) (Mobile Laptop 900) and the Mobile Office Display Solution(TM) (MODS). The systems are part of Motorola's extensive portfolio of integrated communications and information solutions to address mission-critical public safety and security requirements worldwide.

"These newest offerings in our mobile data product portfolio are ruggedized to meet rigorous environmental standards," said David Nairn, vice president, North American Data Business Operations, Motorola. "They are designed to work quickly and efficiently in harsh environments and to handle the demands of the mission-critical world."

"Intel is excited to be a part of Motorola's newest ruggedized notebook PC, powered by the Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor-M," said Donald Macdonald, Intel director of Marketing, Mobile Platforms Group. "These notebooks combine the benefits of portability with high performance PC capabilities to new users in the most demanding environments."

The full-sized, fully sealed Mobile Laptop ML 900, which is designed to meet the needs of public safety and military personnel, also can be used by utility, public service, and other personnel in demanding mobile environments. It has advanced technology to handle large amounts of data quickly, effectively, and reliably in critical situations. Features include a high- capacity 40 GB removable hard drive that can easily be replaced in the field, and a Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M 1.70 GHz high performance processor. The ML 900 also offers onboard digital video recorder capabilities enabling users to download or upload videos to a server and the option to integrate a CD R-W/DVD ROM.

Particularly important for law enforcement personnel is the high- resolution, glare-free 12.1-inch or 13.3-inch screen that provides detailed graphical images, fingerprints and mugshots. The system is compatible with Motorola public safety applications, including Premier(TM) MDC, Tx Messenger(TM) and Airmobile(TM) software.

The ML900 runs on Windows® 2000 or Windows® XP operating systems and can be paired with an advanced hot-docking vehicle cradle that enables it to be placed into or removed from a car without having to power it on or off. A single central processing unit can support two displays and two independent applications, and up to four wireless radios, including radios using Bluetooth wireless technology, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), WLAN (wireless local area network) and one WWAN (wireless wide area network).

The Mobile Laptop 900 can be used in conjunction with Motorola's new Mobile Office Display Solution, a fix-mounted display and fully sealed and backlit keyboard. The docked laptop acts as the CPU in remote positions, such as the trunk of a vehicle. The MODS also can be used with Motorola's ML800 (Mobile Laptop 800), launched in 2002.

"For more than 30 years, Motorola has been developing wireless data technology for use in mission-critical situations," said Nairn. "These newest additions expand the portfolio of products we offer that provide rapid, mobile access to the most complete data available."
