The Strategy Analytics report, "IT Big Guns Take Aim: Microsoft & Sun Target the Wireless Enterprise," released today, concludes that with at least one cellular packet data network now available in most developed markets and wireless LAN an unstoppable freight train, the essential catalysts are in place to kick-start wireless enterprise applications. Microsoft, Sun, IBM, HP/Compaq and other IT leaders are positioning themselves as the next set of players to carry the baton in the race for the unwired enterprise.
As the first in a two part series on the "Big Guns" of IT, the report asserts that these dominant players must effectively leverage their huge embedded product and service bases and lay out a clear ROI-centric path for IT professionals to mobilize back-office applications. David Kerr, Vice President of the Global Wireless Practice at Strategy Analytics notes, "Microsoft has largely overcome operator concerns about sharing the stage with the dominant IT vendor of our time, and has demonstrated a clear and compelling roadmap to revenues while effectively driving its case for adoption of wireless from both a device and core application perspective."
"Sun's products are intricately woven into the IT fabric and service delivery structures of many enterprises and most telcos globally. Combine this with the prominence of Java as a programming language and J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) as the virtual machine in more cellular phones than any other, and the unique position Sun occupies in driving wireless data forward starts to come into focus," states Cliff Raskind, Director of Strategy Analytics Wireless Enterprise Strategies Service.
Published by the Strategy Analytics Wireless Enterprise Strategies (WES) Services, the report:


-- Identifies the key technology trends that will dictate future IT migration paths;
-- Classifies the wireless-related bases on which Microsoft and Sun will compete and defines the metrics by which success will be measured; and
-- Positions Microsoft and Sun in the overall wireless enterprise

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 2003--


30 Years of Wireless Voice Communications Have Paved the Way for the Wireless Internet, says Cooper

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the first public telephone call placed on a portable cellular phone. Martin Cooper, ArrayComm Inc.'s chairman, CEO and co-founder, placed that call on April 3, 1973, while general manager of Motorola's Communications Systems Division. It was the incarnation of his vision for personal wireless communications, distinct from cellular car phones. That first call, placed to Cooper's rival at AT&T's Bell Labs from the streets of New York City, caused a fundamental technology and communications market shift toward the person and away from the place.
"People want to talk to other people -- not a house, or an office, or a car. Given a choice, people will demand the freedom to communicate wherever they are, unfettered by the infamous copper wire. It is that freedom we sought to vividly demonstrate in 1973," said Cooper.
He added, "As I walked down the street while talking on the phone, sophisticated New Yorkers gaped at the sight of someone actually moving around while making a phone call. Remember that in 1973, there weren't cordless telephones, let alone cellular phones. I made numerous calls, including one where I crossed the street while talking to a New York radio reporter -- probably one of the more dangerous things I have ever done in my life."
Following the April 3, 1973, public demonstration, using a "brick"-like 30-ounce phone, Cooper started the 10-year process of bringing the portable cell phone to market. Motorola introduced the 16-ounce "DynaTAC" phone into commercial service in 1983, with each phone costing the consumer $3,500. It took seven additional years before there were a million subscribers in the United States. Today, there are more cellular subscribers than wireline phone subscribers in the world, with mobile phones weighing as little as 3 ounces.
Cooper's role in conceiving and developing the first portable cellular phone directly impacted his choice to found and lead ArrayComm, a wireless technology and systems company founded in 1992. ArrayComm's core adaptive antenna technology increases the capacity and coverage of any cellular system, while significantly lowering costs and making speech more reliable. This technology addresses what Cooper calls "the unfulfilled promise" of cellular, which should be, but still isn't as reliable or affordable as wired telephony.
ArrayComm has also used its adaptive antenna technology to make the Internet "personal" by creating the i-BURST Personal Broadband System, which delivers high-speed, mobile Internet access that consumers can afford.
"It's very exciting to be part of a movement toward making broadband available to people with the same freedom to be anywhere that they have for voice communications today," said Cooper. "People rely heavily on the Internet for their work, entertainment and communication, but they need to be unleashed. We will look back at 2003 as the beginning of the era when the Internet became truly untethered."

About the i-BURST Personal Broadband System

The i-BURST Personal Broadband System is a carrier-grade wide area wireless data network designed for people to have high-speed Internet access wherever they are. Distinct and complementary to traditional 2G and emerging 3G systems as well as short-range 802.11 WLAN (Wi-Fi) networks, Personal Broadband technology delivers a revolutionary Internet experience, combining the freedom of mobility, low cost infrastructure and transmission speeds similar to a typical home broadband DSL or cable line. The system is architected to support the full range of IP applications in a mobile environment, including e-mail, virtual private networking, high speed Web access, streaming video, gaming and voice over IP (VoIP). ArrayComm's patented adaptive antenna technology is at the heart of the system, providing incredible gains in spectral efficiency and thereby dramatically lowering per-user service costs on a network.

About ArrayComm

ArrayComm, Inc. is the world leader in smart antenna technology. ArrayComm's patented IntelliCell(TM) technology -- based on fully adaptive smart antennas -- creates dedicated personal cells of voice or data for wireless subscribers. ArrayComm licenses IntelliCell technology to manufacturers and improves the cost, coverage and capacity of any personal communications system. It is installed in more than 130,000 IntelliCell-equipped base stations worldwide, serving more than 10 million people. IntelliCell technology is also the key ingredient of ArrayComm's innovative i-BURST(TM) Personal Broadband System -- the only wireless Internet access system that offers the freedom of mobility with the high speed of DSL at consumer pricing. ArrayComm was founded in 1992, and wireless industry pioneer Martin Cooper is chairman and CEO. The company has more than 250 patents issued or pending worldwide.

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 12, 2003--

Adds Cordless Phone Capabilities to Microsoft Windows-Based PCs

TeleSym Inc. today released its SymPhone Client software for Microsoft Windows-equipped computers. This addition to the SymPhone System brings top-quality voice calling to users of Windows notebook, tablet and desktop personal computers, using wireless (802.11) data networks and across the Internet.
This introduction coincides with Intel Corp.'s launch of the Intel(R) Centrino(TM) mobile technology, which integrates Wi-Fi networking in mobile computers that feature improved power consumption. SymPhone for Windows is the first Internet telephony software optimized for, tested and validated as Centrino-compatible.

Giving voice to mobile workers

"Enterprises using the SymPhone System can provide top-quality voice calling to their mobile workforce very cost effectively," explains Raju Gulabani, TeleSym chief executive officer.
"Intel Centrino mobile technology-based computers, with extended battery life, are the perfect platform for 'voice mobility' -- extending the office telephone to 'corridor warriors,' as well those who travel away from home base, and all without cellular charges. If you're within range of a Wi-Fi network, SymPhone serves as your desk phone, right from your computer."
"Intel and TeleSym share a common vision for unwiring the mobile workforce," said Anand Chandrasekher, vice president and general manager, Intel's Mobile Platforms Group. "SymPhone takes full advantage of the extended battery life enabled by Intel Centrino mobile technology, adding practical value to mobile computing."

The office phone goes wireless

The SymPhone System extends the functions of the office telephone to any location with Wi-Fi and broadband Internet connectivity, without paying cellular airtime charges. Users can make and receive calls over the Internet from a mobile computer, throughout a building or campus, at home and at public Wi-Fi hotspots. Factory and warehouse users can also use SymPhone as an intercom or cordless phone, using the same computer used to access their company e-mail, inventory or order entry.
There are three components to the SymPhone System. SymPhone Client software installs on a mobile computer, enabling phone calls with a familiar dial pad and contact list. SymPhone Client for Windows runs on Windows XP, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and Windows 2000. Another version of SymPhone Client is designed for Pocket PC 2002. The other components are server-based software: SymPhone Call Server and SymPhone Connector, which link clients together and integrate with enterprise phone systems.

Outstanding voice quality

Many people associate Internet phone calling with poor sound quality. But patent-pending quality features in SymPhone provide breakthrough sound quality, distinct from "soft phone" Internet software. When calling between SymPhones across the open Internet, the fidelity is "near-CD-quality," with no perceived latency (delay), and this quality is maintained even in the rugged wireless network environment.

"... normal sound for the SymPhone is nothing short of spectacular; it approaches CD quality." - Saurabh Bhasin, Network Computing

The SymPhone Client for Windows is available for trial download at www.telesym.com. A 30-day trial enables SymPhone-to-SymPhone calls, as well as SymPhone-to-telephone calls to any Seattle-area number, and calling-card calls anywhere in the world.

About TeleSym

TeleSym (www.telesym.com), Bellevue, Wash., has developed a new generation of technology for wireless IP telephony. TeleSym's software delivers high-quality, cost-effective voice communications over wireless and wired enterprise networks, enhancing the ways mobile workers communicate. TeleSym's goal is to become the worldwide leader in advanced software solutions for wireless voice-over-IP.
In December, TeleSym received strategic funding from the Intel Communications Fund, managed by Intel Capital, under a program investing in companies that are introducing innovative technologies for use on Wi-Fi (802.11) wireless networks.

Telsim Welcomes US District Court Dismissal of RICO Claims Brought against Owners by Motorola and Nokia
ISTANBUL, Turkey & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 5, 2003--Telsim, Turkey's second largest mobile phone company, today announced that it welcomed a decision by a U.S. District Court Judge, the Honorable Jed S. Rakoff, to dismiss RICO claims filed on behalf of Motorola (NYSE:MOT) and Nokia (NYSE:NOK) against the Uzan family, owners of Telsim. Judge Rakoff's order follows an earlier decision by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, to dismiss all RICO claims brought against the Uzan family. Following this decision, Telsim is reiterating its assertion that the claims of Motorola and Nokia should be arbitrated under Swiss law, as originally stipulated under their respective vendor financing agreements.
Hakan Uzan, Chief Executive of Telsim, commented, "We are pleased that, after nearly a month of consideration, Judge Rakoff has dismissed the RICO claims brought against me and several members of my family. This dispute has always been a commercial disagreement among Telsim, Motorola and Nokia -- precipitated by the rapid, unpredictable economic collapse of the Turkish economy in the last four years -- and not by any alleged fraud. Our objective has been, and continues to be, to reach a resolution of this dispute in Swiss arbitration that would reschedule our debt with Motorola and Nokia. Continued attempts by these companies to cast this as anything other than a commercial dispute only serves to negatively impact the value of their commercial and financial interests in Telsim."

Editor's Notes:

1. Telsim is Turkey's second largest telecommunications company, and is owned and controlled by the Uzan family. The Uzan family has been a prominent and influential family in Turkey for over 45 years. In addition to Telsim, their commercial interests include financial institutions, aggregates and cement, utility companies, and media assets.

2. In 1995, Motorola sought out Telsim to initiate discussion to establish a commercial arrangement that would allow it to take advantage of the rapidly expanding Turkish mobile telephony market.

3. In 1998, Motorola entered into overlapping agreements with Telsim and Rumeli Telefon, under which it would loan Telsim $360 million to purchase Motorola cellular infrastructure and equipment, and $200 million to enable Telsim to acquire a 25-year nationwide cellular license. As collateral, Rumeli Telefon -- which then owned approximately 73.5% of Telsim -- pledged 51% of Telsim's outstanding shares. In subsequent years, Motorola provided additional financing -- eventually totaling approximately $2 billion -- and the pledged interest was increased to 66% of Telsim's outstanding shares.

4. Also in 1998, Nokia entered into a smaller but similar arrangement with Telsim and Rumeli Telefon. The initial loan was extended by Nokia's bank, ABN-Amro, backed by the credit of Nokia. As security, Rumeli Telefon pledged 5% of Telsim's outstanding shares. In subsequent years, Nokia extended additional financing to Telsim, approximately $800 million in all, and Rumeli Telefon increased the pledged interest to 7.5% of Telsim's outstanding shares.

5. As an essential term, the underlying financing agreements entered into by Motorola and Nokia provided that any unresolved dispute would be resolved by a three-person arbitration panel in Switzerland in accordance with the International Arbitration Rules of the Zurich Chamber of Commerce. Arbitration proceedings between Motorola and Telsim and Nokia and Telsim are pending in Switzerland. Moreover, the arbitral tribunal recently refused the request of Motorola regarding the stay of current arbitration proceedings.

6. From 1999 to 2001, the Turkish economy suffered three major blows: the massive 1999 earthquake which hit the industrialized region of Turkey, then two major economic crises which significantly devalued the Turkish lira. At one stage overnight interest rates reached 7000%. In 1998, the Turkish lira traded at 200,000 lira to the US dollar. Currently it trades at over 1,650,000 lira to the dollar.

7. But like other companies operating in Turkey at the time, Telsim sought to negotiate a re-scheduling of payments after it was clear that the business could not sustain the planned level of repayment of foreign debt. Among others, Telsim contacted Motorola and ABN Amro, on behalf of Nokia, in good faith to discuss their rescheduling options and failing an agreed to rescheduling, to enter into arbitration in Switzerland.

8. In 2001, at a special shareholder meeting, the shareholders of Telsim approved a motion to revalue the company's assets which was followed by an increase of the number of shares in the company. These actions were required by Turkish law in order to prevent a technical insolvency of the company. Telsim also undertook these actions to thwart a perceived attempt by Motorola to take over the company. Subsequent to this action, Telsim offered to increase the number of shares pledged as collateral for the loans, despite the fact that it was determined that the value of the diluted interest used as collateral still exceeded the amount of the loans made by Motorola and Nokia.

9. As they were approached in good faith, it was anticipated that Motorola and Nokia would look to reach an agreement to all outstanding issues in the most conventional forum for proceedings of this nature. While these efforts were started in Switzerland in 2001, Motorola refused to take part soon thereafter.

10. Motorola has since taken legal and political action against Telsim and the Uzan Family, with maximum prejudice, which has only served to undermine their commercial and financial interests in Telsim.

11. Telsim made several offers to Motorola to do a debt for equities swap, the latest was in summer 2001.
