Motorola to Acquire Winphoria Networks
Tuesday April 15, 10:00 am ET
Acquisition Adds Next Generation Packet-based Switching to Wireless Networking Solutions Portfolio


SCHAUMBURG, Ill., April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT - News) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Winphoria Networks, Inc., a core infrastructure provider of next generation packet based mobile switching centers for wireless networks, which Motorola plans to integrate into its Global Telecom Solutions Sector (GTSS) business unit. The completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing and regulatory conditions and is expected to occur in the second quarter. Motorola intends to purchase the privately held concern in an all cash transaction. Additional terms of the agreement were not disclosed.


The acquisition will provide Motorola with additional capability to deliver on its strategy to provide complete networks to support operators' 2.5 Generation (2.5G) - 3rd Generation (3G) systems worldwide. GTSS will increase its technology capability, enabling it to develop better choices for cost- effective, enhanced featured mobile switching center solutions.

"In acquiring Winphoria, we will augment our strategic position by adding an innovative core telecom switching capability to our portfolio and by providing a competitive media gateway solution. These translate into direct benefits for our carrier customers and prospects by helping them reduce operating costs, and by offering them a software-driven switch that can be easily upgraded and enhanced at lower cost," said Christopher B. Galvin, chairman and chief executive officer, Motorola, Inc.

Adding the soft-switch will address a long-standing need in Motorola's network infrastructure solution. It will add core functionality in a way that complements Motorola's existing outsourced circuit-switching portfolio. Customers will still be able to make the choice to purchase traditional circuit switches based on our existing switch supplier relationships, however the addition of soft-switch technology will enable GTSS to provide less expensive, yet more versatile, switching solutions to operators as they migrate to technologies that will support integrated voice, data and video applications.

"We believe soft-switch technology has the potential to impact the wireless networking industry," said Adrian Nemcek, executive vice president of Motorola and president and chief executive officer of GTSS. "The acquisition of Winphoria -- and its more than 100 highly skilled associates -- will strengthen GTSS' value proposition by enabling us to offer operators an enhanced portfolio of network systems in addition to recently announced offerings of network management services and application and integration solutions."

"We are pleased and excited to join the Motorola GTSS unit," said Mike Champa, president and CEO of Winphoria Networks. "Our cutting-edge solutions and entrepreneurial spirit will benefit from Motorola's scale and market presence. We see this combination as the ideal way to bring our pioneering technology to the global marketplace."

Soft-switches have several significant advantages over traditional legacy circuit switches. They are particularly appealing in emerging markets and among early adopters in mature markets where operators find them an attractive option for upgrading network capacity. The efficient performance and affordability of the soft-switch, combined with the ability to support 2G and 3G networks simultaneously, is projected to dramatically increase demand so that they outnumber traditional circuit switches by 2012.

Soft-switches require less room, less power to operate, and can be deployed much more quickly than traditional legacy circuit switches. In addition, soft-switch architectures allow rapid feature development and high core networking flexibility. For example, Winphoria's soft-switch architecture, as it develops over time, will also allow for server-based applications such as Push-to-Talk solutions. These advantages translate into potential savings for operators including lower capital expenditures, and switch-operating costs associated with technology migration and transport costs.

Motorola GTSS announced an OEM agreement with Winphoria in August 2002. Through that relationship the first commercial trial of the Winphoria soft- switch, branded the Motorola Soft-Switch (MSS) began in Asia. CDMA 1X network customer trials are currently underway in North America and Asia, with limited commercial introduction slated for June 2003.

NSA Selects Certicom to Develop Advanced Security Technology
Research to modernize cryptography for protecting classified information

MISSISSAUGA, ON, April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Certicom Corp. (TSX: CIC), a leading provider of wireless security solutions, today announced that it is working with the National Security Agency (NSA) in Maryland to research and develop advanced security technology and tools for protecting classified information.

Modernizing cryptographic technology is a top priority for governments because of its vital importance to national security. This pilot project with the NSA will result in new technology that will be integrated and used to secure top-secret government communications without compromising network speed and performance.

"This contract puts Certicom at the forefront of cryptographic developments within both the government and defense sectors," says Ian McKinnon, President and CEO of Certicom.

Top-secret communications are used at the highest levels of both the U.S. and Canadian government and clearly must be protected by technology that goes well beyond off the shelf cryptography. The goal is to improve the time to market with equipment that can secure and protect the nation's most sensitive information.

The Communications Security Establishment (CSE), Canada's cryptologic agency, will likely use the same security tools for the protection of equally sensitive information within the Government of Canada, as part of its Canadian Cryptographic Modernization Project (CCMP).

The contract has been facilitated through the CCC (Canadian Commercial Corporation), Canada's export contracting agency. Acting as prime contractor, CCC through its own due diligence process assessed Certicom and worked with NSA on a government-to-government basis, providing a Canadian government- backed guarantee of contract performance on this project.

About NSA

NSA employs the U.S.'s premier codemakers and codebreakers. It is said to be the largest employer of mathematicians in the United States and perhaps the world. Its mathematicians contribute directly to the two missions of the Agency: designing cipher systems that will protect the integrity of U.S. information systems and searching for weaknesses in adversaries' systems and codes. Visit www.nsa.gov for more information about NSA.

About CSE

As the Government of Canada's centre for information security expertise, CSE provides technical advice, guidance and services that help protect government information and information infrastructures. In conjunction with this, CSE's industry programs evaluate and accredit commercial cryptographic systems and systems security products and systems for use within the Government of Canada. Visit www.cse-cst.gc.ca for more information about CSE.

About CCC

CCC (Canadian Commercial Corporation) is a Crown Corporation mandated to facilitate international trade, particularly in government markets. CCC's approach is based on 'three Cs': credibility, confidence, contracts. CCC builds confidence in Canadian exports by giving them the credibility of a government-backed performance guarantee that opens doors and leads to contracts with improved terms. As a result, since its inception, CCC has helped thousands of companies from across Canada close export deals worth more than $30 billion and facilitated sales to foreign governments and private sector buyers in more than 100 countries.

Normally CCC acts as a Prime Contractor, signing a contract with the foreign buyer and a matching contract with the exporter. CCC also assists exporters to increase their pre-shipment working capital from commercial sources, and offers a range of procurement, pre-contract, contract advisory and post-contract services on a fee for service basis.
