IPWireless Announces the World's First, Fully Interoperable, 3G Network for Mobile Voice and Broadband Data
IPWireless Successfully Completes Interoperability and Co-Existence Tests

SAN BRUNO, Calif., June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- IPWireless has successfully completed the world's first interoperability (IOT) and co-existence testing between UMTS TDD (TD-CDMA) and UMTS FDD (WCDMA) networks at Nortel Networks wireless headquarters in Chateaufort, France. The test, completed during a trial of the IPWireless(TM) TDD solution, demonstrated that both FDD and TDD standards of 3G UMTS can co-exist in the same cell site and interface together as one network solution.

The tests also showed the co-existence of both FDD and TDD Node Bs at the same cell site without any interference or degradation of service using paired and unpaired spectrum allocations. These findings prove conclusively that mobile network operators can safely offer the high-bandwidth low-latency services available on a TDD network on the cell sites with existing or planned FDD deployments.

Chris Gilbert, CEO of IPWireless said, "This is another important step for IPWireless, demonstrating that there is a UMTS solution for operators unpaired TDD spectrum which can leverage and work seamlessly with other UMTS solutions. This solution will allow operators to offer a host of attractive new services that have proven market appeal."

The world's first IOT test integrated IPWireless' TDD Radio Access Network (RAN) via the Iups interface (between RNC and SGSN) with Nortel Networks market leading packet core solution, which is deployed by a number of major European operators.

Alain Biston, president and general manager, UMTS Networks, Nortel Networks said, "This test with IP Wireless demonstrates the high interoperability of our intelligent packet core solution with multiple wireless access technologies."

IPWireless is supplying their 3GPP standards compliant UMTS TDD Mobile Broadband technology equipment including Node Bs, Integrated Network Controllers and end user PC cards (PCMCIAs). Via the PC card, the IPWireless solution gives laptop and PDA users mobile Internet access at speeds up to 1.5Mbps -- faster than the fixed line Broadband rates currently available. In a fully deployed network, broadband coverage is as ubiquitous as with today's GSM networks. This offers a multitude of new revenue streams for mobile network operators and the services that business and residential users are demanding.

Dell and T-Mobile Team To Bundle Wi-Fi Service
Thursday June 26, 7:00 pm ET
Special Offer Makes It Easy for Dell Customers To Try the T-Mobile HotSpot Service


ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2003--Dell(tm) (Nasdaq:DELL - News) and T-Mobile USA Inc. today announced an agreement that will make it easy for Dell's notebook computer customers to get high-speed Wi-Fi (802.11b) Internet access through the T-Mobile® HotSpot service.
Dell customers can now get 2,000 free minutes of the T-Mobile HotSpot service within the first 30 days after activation, when they sign-up for a new qualifying T-Mobile HotSpot service plan.(a)

With more than 2,600 convenient public locations, T-Mobile HotSpot is the nation's largest commercial Wi-Fi network including numerous airports and airline clubs, Borders Books and Music stores, Starbucks coffeehouses and soon at more than 1,000 Kinko's locations. These convenient locations allow Dell customers with a wireless-enabled notebook or PDA who subscribe to T-Mobile HotSpot to check e-mail, surf the Web, watch streaming video or download multimedia presentations in places where they already go as part of their daily routine.

T-Mobile was the first U.S. wireless carrier to fully embrace Wi-Fi as a complement to its existing all digital national wireless voice and 2.5 G high-speed data network.

Motorola and Others Collaborate to Develop Revolutionary Interactive Radio
Monday June 23, 6:02 am ET
Industry Innovators Set to Deliver Digital Quality Music and More Using Existing AM/FM Broadcast Equipment


AUSTIN, Texas, June 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc.'s (NYSE: MOT - News) Semiconductor Products Sector is pairing its Symphony(TM) digital radio chipset with capabilities from other technology and manufacturing innovators to deliver an in-vehicle interactive radio that promises to bring consumers more services and broadcasters more revenue. StratosAudio, Motorola and Hyundai Autonet are working to develop and demonstrate a competitively priced interactive receiver and broadcast system with content identification and one-button purchase capabilities by September 2003.


With the interactive Symphony digital radio, consumers can expect to experience great digital-quality sound with enhanced home stereo features in addition to identification, real-time response, purchase and digital download of on-air events. Broadcasters can expect to recognize increased ad revenue and listener loyalty with minimal equipment change and capital investment.

Giving Listeners More Than Music

StratosAudio, an interactive broadcast radio service provider, gives listeners a means to respond to on-air content - making purchases and requesting more information at the press of a button.

The StratosAudio Broadcast Management Software (SABMS) is designed to provide instant in-vehicle access to advertised discounts and premiums, music information, listener voting, traffic alerts and more, with follow-up via mobile phone and the Internet. This one-button capability meets the demands of listeners, including the 62 percent who, according to a 2001 Edison study, want to know the artist and title for every song they hear on the radio.

"We are intrigued by the marriage of Motorola Symphony digital radio's enhanced audio and StratosAudio's interactive services and look forward to experimenting with those capabilities," said Jeff Littlejohn, senior vice president of Engineering, Clear Channel Radio. "Today's savvy listener has shown an affinity toward Title and Artist information; the interactive Symphony Digital Radio marries that interest with listener fulfillment."

StratosAudio's SABMS is designed to extend the reach of digital content to the vehicle. Listeners can respond while in transit or hours later by reviewing on-air events cached in the radio's memory. They can buy music from major record label catalogs with hundreds of thousands of digital tracks available. These tracks may be downloaded to a PC and burned on a CD.

Launched last fall, the Symphony digital radio chipset was engineered to deliver enhanced sound quality and signal reception for existing analog broadcasts. Designed for home and automotive stereo systems, Symphony digital radio is engineered to greatly improve the reception, quality and reach of traditional AM/FM analog broadcasts.

Growing Listener Base and Ad Revenue

Real-time online reporting based on listener participation gives broadcasters and their customers precise feedback on demographic response. The interactive Symphony digital radio offers the potential for a more intimate relationship with a greater number of key listeners and the opportunity to target advertising. This capability can help secure new and existing advertisers - who, according to the Radio Advertising Bureau's annual survey, want to see a return on the $20 billion (USD) a year they spend.

From an investment perspective, the costs are minimal. An average broadcaster may spend up to $3,000 (USD) to acquire an RDS/RBDS (radio data system/radio broadcast data system) encoder. SABMS is designed to deliver a real-time playlist data feed to the RDS encoder for identification of on-air content in addition to data population of the station Web site, mobile devices and interactive Symphony digital radio receivers.

Broadcasters who participate in the promotion of StratosAudio's interactive services will receive a free SABMS license.

About Symphony Digital Radio

Based on Motorola's 24-bit digital audio architecture, Symphony digital radio uses digital signal processors (DSPs) to filter and improve signal reception. The software architecture allows for radio tuning, audio processing and data reception simultaneously on a single processor and software thread. Listeners hear less static and fading, fewer pops and hisses. Symphony eliminates station bleed over and extends listening range due to enhanced signal reception, providing higher quality sound overall.

Pricing and Availability

Hyundai Autonet (HACO), a leading supplier of automotive electronics and long time Motorola customer, is manufacturing the interactive Symphony digital radios currently in development. StratosAudio and Motorola anticipate conducting demonstrations of the in-vehicle interactive services later this summer; receivers are scheduled to be available for retailers in time for the 2003 holiday shopping season. Consumer pricing for the radio is projected to be in line with current radios on the market and receivers are expected to be available later this year.

About StratosAudio, Inc.

StratosAudio's technology is engineered to allow radio listeners and mobile phone users to instantly purchase music and other content, respond to advertisements and talk shows at the press of a button while listening to AM/FM radio. Data captured from a radio station playlist is routed to RDS- and RBDS-compliant radios then on to the StratosAudio Business Systems Database for presentation on the Web or mobile phone. Real-time reporting based on user response is designed to increase broadcaster demographic intelligence while driving revenue. StratosAudio, Inc is headquartered in Century City, California.
