Motorola Makes Seamless Mobility Real

Company announces world’s first integrated, dual-network phone, slimmest clam, Apple iTunes™ alliance, home remote control, his-and-hers TV, and fingerprints-on-demand

ROSEMONT, Ill. -- 27 July 2004 -- On the eve of its annual financial analysts meeting, Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) unveiled groundbreaking products and partnerships that will create a seamless mobile experience for customers.

“People want to stay connected to the ones they love, the information they need and the gadgets that keep their lives humming -- and we’re making it possible,” said Ed Zander, chairman and chief executive officer of Motorola. “People’s connections don’t end at a doorway; they need smooth transitions from home to car to office and everywhere in between. We’ve got the technologies and the vision, and today’s announcements prove Motorola is making seamless mobility real.”

The company’s latest products in home monitoring, handsets featuring push-to-talk technology, 3G, EDGE, megapixel cameras and various public-service devices will be demonstrated by Zander at a media event today.

OUT IN THE WORLD
• Motorola RAZR V3 -- The ultra-thin Motorola RAZR V3 (just under 14mm) features a large (2.2”) display, external color display viewfinder, integrated camera, Bluetooth™ wireless technology, MPEG video playback, and a 3D graphics engine.

• iTunes™ Alliance -- Motorola and Apple announced a strategic alliance to bring the iTunes™ music player to Motorola’s next-generation mobile handsets. Music lovers will be able to transfer favorite songs from the iTunes™ jukebox on their Mac or PC, to Motorola’s next-generation 'always with you' mobile handsets, via a USB or Bluetooth connection.

• Very EDGE-Capable -- The Motorola A780 and V551 both combine the power of EDGE technology with advanced features and sophisticated design elements. Part of a complete 3G and 2.5G technology suite including solutions for GSM, GPRS, EDGE, and UMTS -- these new handsets are designed to help operators drive revenue by delivering compelling end-user experiences.

• Motorola C/V975 -- We’re making mobile broadband a reality with the ultra chic clamshell V975 and super slim candybar C975 -- the latest products to join Motorola’s extensive 3G handset stable. These exciting new mobiles deliver exceptional value with cutting-edge 3G technology at an affordable price, enabling consumers to experience an array of multi-media features -- from application and game downloads to shooting and sharing video with friends, family, and colleagues.

ENTERPRISE
• Motorola CN620 -- the world’s first integrated dual network (802.11 and cellular) for both voice and data communications. With the CN620, business users can seamlessly move from their company’s wireless network onto the cellular network without interruption. Enabled by a convergence of technologies, the new CN620 provides businesses with cost-savings opportunities, new user efficiencies, and enhanced communication capabilities.

• Motorola MPx220 -- With seamless access to Pocket Outlook® and Pocket Internet Explorer, the busy professional will never miss an email, IM or a call. The quad band, Motorola MPx220 with Windows Mobile™ software is the first truly powerful phone-first e-mail device.

In addition, the MPx220 offers an integrated 1.2 megapixel camera with flash and advanced multi-media messaging service (MMS).

MISSION CRITICAL
• Mobile Automated Fingerprint Identification System -- The Mobile Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) helps the good guys take their labs with them wherever they go. Mobile AFIS allows law enforcement and homeland security agents to rapidly establish identity by granting on-scene access to fingerprints, facial images and relevant record information and documents.

• Soft Switched Radio Network -- Motorola’s Soft Switched Radio Network (SSRN) enables first responders from different jurisdictions operating on different radio systems to quickly and affordably achieve interoperability. The SSRN uses standard Internet Protocol (IP) signaling and is the most advanced form of a “gateway” or “switch” because it seamlessly connects users from systems on different frequencies or platforms.

HOME
• Ojo™ Personal Video Phone -- The Motorola Ojo™ Personal Video Phone enables true-to-life, face-to-face communications with full-motion video and synchronized audio. Part of Motorola’s “connected home” product portfolio, Ojo helps consumers and small businesses have richer, more personal conversations with people important to them by using broadband to bridge the physical distance between them.

• Motorola High-Definition Dual-Tuner Digital Video Recorder -- The Motorola DCT6412 high-definition dual-tuner digital video recorder gives you control over your home entertainment experience by letting you watch what you want, when you want. This digital cable set-top offers popular “trick-play” features, such as pause and rewind of “live” television, and can record both standard- and high-definition broadcasts.

• Home Media Architecture -- Motorola Home Media Architecture (HMA) enables consumers to enjoy access to stored media on connected devices throughout the home. With HMA, you can watch or schedule recordings of your favorite shows from anywhere in your home.

Motorola also announced several other exciting new developments, including:

• Verizon -- Motorola and Verizon Wireless signed a three-year general purchasing agreement to increase Verizon Wireless’ network capacity and coverage. Verizon Wireless will deploy Motorola’s CDMA2000 1X radio base stations, IP call processing platforms and advanced messaging solutions in major markets.

• VIVO-- has awarded Motorola’s Brazilian subsidiary, Motorola Industrial Ltda., a major contract for 25 Motorola SoftSwitches for CDMA (MSS-C). Commercial deployment is already underway in Londriana.

• OFDM -- Motorola Labs, through extensive research and field tests over the past four years has established Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) as a key technology in the next generation of heterogeneous wireless networks. It has proven 30-year-old existing technology can be applied to high-speed mobile networks to deliver peak downlink speeds of up to 300 Mbps. This research demonstrates that future all-IP mobile networks using OFDM technology have the capability to provide a broadband user experience, previously thought to be unattainable.

Forbes.com: Motorola Ventures targeting China, Asia

Motorola Ventures targeting China, Asia
Anna Marie Kukec Daily Herald Business Writer, 07.29.04, 12:05 PM ET

After five years, Motorola Ventures has matured with the volatile tech industry and is preparing to increase its investment in overseas startups, including those in China. India also could be a target.

The Schaumburg-based investment arm of Motorola Inc. wants to help Motorola boost its seamless mobility strategy, said Warren E. Holtsberg, Motorola Venture director of equity investing, global strategy and corporate development.

"If I don't make money, I don't meet strategy and develop the products we need for customers," Holtsberg said Wednesday.

Many of its startups are in the United States with a few in Canada, Israel, France, China and Finland. But Ventures wants to do more in China and enter India because of their pioneering spirit and booming populations eager for new communication devices.

Motorola's main strategy is seamless mobility, the continuous wireless connectivity between the home, auto, office and outside world so that no matter where you go, you have access to different products that will work interchangeably.

Motorola is so eager to pursue this strategy, it intends to review roughly 2,000 companies this year for possible investment.

Communications Equipment Spending Rebounding, Says S&P Equity Analyst in New Study
Thursday July 29, 10:21 am ET
Convergence of Electronic Networks a Significant Opportunity for Equipment Providers


NEW YORK, July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- A rebound in expenditures on enterprise networking equipment and telecommunications -- the two main markets for communications equipment -- is underway and is expected to continue throughout 2004, says Standard & Poor's Equity Research in a semiannual study of the industry. The survey, Industry Survey on Communications Equipment, published twice yearly by Standard & Poor's, a leading provider of independent investment research, ratings and indices, takes a close look at the issues affecting the industry, including industry convergence, accelerating data traffic, the transition to packet switching, Voice-Over-Internet Protocol, third generation (3G) networks, and building out the last mile, or "edge," of the data network to bring high-speed communications into more households and businesses.


"Convergence of the global communications infrastructure toward a series of linked networks presents long-term opportunities for communications equipment providers," says Ari Bensinger, Communications Equipment Analyst, Standard & Poor's Equity Research Services and author of the survey. "As telecom and cable companies enter each others' markets, they will need to upgrade their infrastructure. The more competitive environment will also create new demand for companies that can help customers build and manage multipurpose networks."

"Spending on communications equipment should continue to improve as we anticipate telecom services providers will spend $30 billion in 2004, even with last year but a reversal of steep spending declines in previous years. Adding to that, positive key economic indicators, such as higher employee payroll growth, point to an improving technology spending environment among enterprise customers."

Industry Survey on Communications Equipment also provides explanation of the impact of industry trends on major companies in the industry such as Adtran (Nasdaq: ADTN - News), Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO - News), Ericsson (Nasdaq: ERICY - News), and Nokia (NYSE: NOK - News).

Industry Survey on Communications Equipment is part of the Standard & Poor's Industry Surveys series, produced by its senior equity analysts, that keeps a watchful eye on 52 U.S. industries, offering insights into trends and conditions that affect leading companies' market performance. Covering 1,500 U.S. stocks, Standard & Poor's equity analysts have the largest U.S.-based equity research coverage.

Standard & Poor's Industry Surveys provide a broad and fundamental overview of each industry's structure, its recent performance, and an analysis of trends that will influence it in the future. Each survey is organized into the following sections: Current Environment, Industry Profile/Industry Trends, How the Industry Operates, Key Industry Ratios and Statistics, How to Analyze a Company, Industry References, Comparative Company Analysis, and a Glossary of terms used in that industry. Both text and data are provided, as are references to additional sources of industry information. Two surveys on each industry are published each year.

NexGen City Announces IEEE 802.XX BRIDGE Component for NexLink™ Municipal Wireless Network

New development integrates IEEE Standard 802.XX (WiMax and WiFi) functionality into NexLink Network's high-speed environment.
July 2004 (Newstream) -- NexGen City™, manufacturer of mobile, high-speed wireless communications systems for first responders and municipal personnel, on July 27 announced that it has developed technology to allow IEEE Standard 802.xx (both WiMax and WiFi) communications on its NexLink™ Network. This gives municipal workers the option of using either the company's NexCard™ wireless interface product in a highly mobile environment or a standard 802.xx card in a low-speed nomadic scenario.

The 802.xx bridge product, a single unit housed within a NexLink wireless router or access gateway, enables 802.11 a, b, and g nodes to communicate with the NexLink node and then utilize the NexLink Network as the wireless backhaul for that communications traffic. Testing is well underway. Availability of production units is planned for the fourth quarter of 2004.

"We recognize the need to offer the best possible communications access for the task at hand," said Richard Dwelle, NexGen City president. "There are times when a truly mobile subscriber needs access to high-speed data while traveling at rapid rates and, thus, can use our NexCard interface. Alternatively, there are times when one simply wants to leverage an existing investment or is looking at more residential capabilities."

The 802.xx product addition gives municipalities options not readily available in the past with such a network. The NexCard interface functionality delivers broadband connections to both municipal and public safety wireless users while traveling at moderate to high speeds. Additionally, cities and counties can now offer both households and businesses Internet access in an 802.xx environment, ubiquitously, across the city. This enhances the effectiveness and breadth of the network and increases its value to cities as a return on their investment.

The new 802.xx capability is yet another product that continues to enhance and round out NexGen City NexLink products including: the NexPaq™ handheld communicator, the NexCard™ wireless interface for laptops, and the fixed NexLink™ intelligent wireless routers and access gateways. Within a NexLink network, both mobile and fixed infrastructure devices are "network nodes" acting as repeaters and routers. This creates a self-forming and self-healing network with ad hoc peer-to-peer networking capabilities.

Dave Meitzen, chief operating engineer in charge of R&D says, "This 802.xx technology allows a more economical cell deployment in rural areas. The cost per megabit delivered to the end user will continue to decline thus saving municipalities' and communities' money."

About NexGen City

Formed in 2002, NexGen City develops, manufactures, and markets wireless broadband communications systems for cities' first responders and municipal workers. The company's integrated solutions for high-speed data, voice, streaming video, and geolocation applications include field-tested mobile devices and intelligent wireless infrastructure components. Deployment of NexGen City's NexLink™ wireless broadband mobile network is nearing completion in the City of Garland, Texas. The project, covering 57 square miles, is the first and geographically largest deployment of mobile mesh networking technology for use by a public safety organization.

The closely held company is privately funded. Its 46,000 sq.-ft. headquarters office is located at 1680 N. Glenville Drive, Suite 100, Richardson, Texas 75081.

Falvey Library provides wireless Internet access


by Gerald Dierkes, Evening Supervisor, Circulation Department

February 2004 Blueprints



Falvey Memorial Library joins Bartley, CEER and Tolentine in providing the Villanova community with wireless Internet access. Many library patrons have noticed the unusual-looking hub antennas mounted to the Library’s ceilings. Villanova students, faculty or staff members may find these wireless access points, or hot spots, in the following locations: the Reserve Room and the Holy Grounds area, throughout the first floor (including the Current Periodicals room), and above the study carrels and tables on the second, third and fourth floors (including the Kolmer group study rooms).

These hot spots, in the Library and throughout the campus, will soon be designated by the “Villanova Wireless” symbol.

Forbes.com: Trio to combine cell and wireless LANs

Trio to combine cell and wireless LANs
Phil HochmuthNetwork World, 07/26/04, 07.26.04, 10:52 AM ET

Avaya, Motorola and Proxim this week are expected to announce a co-developed handset and enterprise network gear that let mobile phone users roam between cellular networks and wireless LANs.

The combination holds the promise of cutting phone costs for business customers and making mobile workers more productive. It is based on a new Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based Wi-Fi/cellular handset from Avaya and Motorola, IP-based or IP-enabled PBXs from Avaya, plus new WLAN switch and thin access points developed by Avaya and Proxim.

Users are both intrigued and skeptical.

"We have hundreds of house staff who need internal wireless communication at low cost," says John Halamka, CIO at CareGroup Systems, a Boston hospital network. With an Avaya PBX network, Halamka says he is looking into the vendor's Extension to Cellular technology, which lets any cell phone act as an extension of a PBX. But further integration of cellular and WLAN would be more valuable, he says, because staff could use their cell phones for five-digit dialing over CareGroup's WLAN. This also would reduce the electromagnetic interference that signals from cell phones cause.

Another user points to a potential drawback in the cellular/voice-over-WLAN (VoWLAN) technology.

Motorola's OFDM Field Tests and Research Prove Capability to Achieve 300 Mbps Mobile Broadband Data Rates
Tuesday July 27, 1:11 am ET
Pioneers development of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) solutions for ultra high-speed next generation wireless networks


SCHAUMBURG, Ill., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT - News), by combining results from field experiments and research conducted by Motorola Labs, has proven existing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology can support high-speed mobile networks with a peak downlink speed of up to 300 Mbps. This research demonstrates that future all-IP mobile networks using OFDM technology have the capability to provide a broadband user experience that was previously thought to be unattainable.
ADVERTISEMENT


"Motorola Labs, through extensive research and field tests over the past four years has established OFDM as a key technology in the next generation of heterogeneous wireless networks," said Padmasree Warrior, chief technology officer, Motorola. "The promise of affordable, available mobile broadband is driving Motorola's vision of seamless mobility."

Motorola Labs recently completed a series of mobile wide area broadband wireless field experiments using OFDM on a 20 MHz bandwidth channel with multiple antenna handheld devices. Applying data from the field experiments in laboratory tests, Motorola Labs validated that a 20 MHz mobile OFDM channel can support peak uncoded channel data rates of up to 300 Mbps.

The field tests of Motorola Labs' mobile OFDM system were conducted in the greater Chicago area in both urban and suburban environments. In the field tests Motorola Labs attained data throughputs exceeding 20 Mbps with a latency of just 25 milliseconds while simultaneously demonstrating real-time applications including videoconferencing, multi-Mbps streaming video, and voice over IP and traveling at typical highway speeds (in excess of 100 kilometers per hour or 62 mph).

The promise of faster wireless networks that can meet the demand for mobile broadband that supports multi-media applications has great appeal to operators.

"As the telecomm industry becomes more complex and competitive, operators need to get the most efficiency and speed from their networks while delivering a superior end user experience at a greatly reduced cost per bit," said Adrian Nemcek, president and chief executive officer of Motorola's Global Telecom Solutions Sector. "Several leading telecom operators from around the world have witnessed our continuing OFDM field trials in Chicago and have been favorably impressed with the performance."

Motorola will be sharing its OFDM research experience in cooperation with IEEE, ITU, ETSI, 3GPP and 3GPP2, and will be an active contributor in introducing OFDM to the standards bodies. Motorola also recently joined the WiMAX Forum as a principal member. The WiMAX Forum promotes and certifies compatibility of wireless broadband products based on the IEEE 802.16 standards.

In addition to its research and development of OFDM solutions, Motorola's wireless broadband access portfolio includes market-ready solutions for:

CDMA2000 1x EV-DO
High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA)
WiFi
Canopy(TM) broadband wireless portfolio
Editor's Note

OFDM is a radio technology that combines time and frequency multiplexing to implement extremely high data rate wireless systems efficiently. It is currently being adopted for fixed and nomadic broadband wireless applications such as WiFi and WiMAX, and is being studied for use in the next generation of cellular equipment.

The combination of OFDM with other technologies is seen as a key enabler of the next generation of wide area broadband wireless systems. Some of those other technologies include adaptive modulation and coding (AMC), fast automatic repeat request (hybrid ARQ), multiple antenna techniques, advanced error control coding techniques (turbo and LDPC coding) and a unified approach to system development.

Motorola Labs also is conducting research into physical layer, data link layer, medium access control, network and system designs for future broadband cellular, public and private wide-area wireless systems. These systems, broadly characterized as the next generation wireless service after 3G, have additional applications into public and private systems. These systems are expected to have sustained data rates beyond 20 Mbps, and peak data rates upwards of 100 Mbps. Motorola has published reports and papers on its research in OFDM and these topics at several IEEE conferences and in journal publications. A reference list is available.

Motorola Turns Enterprise Business Communications Inside Out
Tuesday July 27, 1:10 am ET
Unveils Enterprise Seamless Mobility(TM) Products, Delivering Enterprise Communication Capabilities Inside and Out of the Office


ROSEMONT, Ill., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT - News) today debuted three new products for the company's Enterprise Seamless Mobility(TM) solution, which delivers enhanced business communications, cost-savings opportunities and productivity improvement to a commercial enterprise and greater mobility and accessibility for enterprise employees.
ADVERTISEMENT


The Enterprise Seamless Mobility solution will provide contiguous, wireless communications across both enterprise and cellular networks to deliver enhanced capabilities and significant cost savings opportunities. For enterprise employees, Motorola's solution delivers boundary-less communications, where capabilities and features normally available only inside the office (enterprise telephony, e-mail, intranet and Internet, calendars, and corporate directories) are now available for the user on the go.

"Our growing portfolio of products, seamlessly connected, will bring voice and data-rich services to people where they are: at home, in the auto, in the world, or at work. This is one of our solutions for the space we call 'work,'" said Ed Zander, chairman and CEO. "We believe this technology will change the notion of work. Work will no longer be defined as where you are, but as what you do and how you do it. One device, one phone number, one voice mail -- and the key functionality of your office desktop -- on a single mobile device."

Motorola's Enterprise Seamless Mobility products are part of an overall solution architecture created in collaboration with Avaya and Proxim. Motorola products include the CN620, a new dual-network Mobile Office Device (MOD), the Wireless Services Manager and the Network Services Manager. These components work with IP telephony software from Avaya and wireless local area network (WLAN) infrastructure from Avaya and Proxim.

How Enterprise Seamless Mobility Works

The standards-based solution supports contiguous communication services to users across enterprise wireless networks and public cellular networks. Inside the enterprise, the Motorola CN620 uses the 802.11 standard to connect to the enterprise IP Telephony system through a secure, voice-enabled wireless local area network. The Wireless Services Manager allows communication to seamlessly continue outside the enterprise into the wide-area cellular network. The user can actually walk out the door of the enterprise, mid-call, and seamlessly flow from the company's wireless network onto the cellular network without interruption. The convergence of these technologies provides businesses with cost savings opportunities, new user efficiencies, and enhanced communication capabilities.

Cost-savings can be achieved through intelligent call routing -- the solution routes calls to the preferred available network. Device consolidation is another area of cost-saving opportunity as the office desk phone, mobile phone and other devices can be replaced by the one Dual-Network Mobile Office Device. Productivity is enhanced as users can be reached inside or out of the enterprise on a single phone number, with one device, and only one voice mailbox to check. New capabilities are provided through wireless access to corporate applications including e-mail, data and directories inside or outside the enterprise campus.

The solution also incorporates advanced and innovative power saving techniques, Quality of Service (QoS) standards, and industry standard security mechanisms.

CN620 Dual-Network Mobile Office Device (MOD)

Motorola's CN620 Mobile Office Device (MOD) ties together WLAN and cellular technologies in a single device for easier, more efficient, access to voice and data networks both inside and outside the office. Users can be reached inside or outside the enterprise at a single phone number, and retrieve messages from a single voice mailbox. Inside the enterprise, the solution will support secure "always on" mobile access to valuable IP telephony features and capabilities. The solution provides the same access to many of these key features to mobile workers outside the enterprise while on the cellular network, including call hold, conference calling, multiple simultaneous active calls, and access to corporate email, data, applications and directories.

The CN620 makes its mark with integrated dual network (802.11 and cellular) capabilities for both voice and data communications. Uniquely designed for enterprise use, the CN620 provides flexibility and interoperability with enterprise back office and desktop applications. The CN620 allows users to surf both the corporate intranet and the internet, providing access to vital corporate information and applications -- using the enterprise high-speed network inside the WLAN. The CN620 also features an innovative one point navigation dial, with easy access to key communications tools and push-to-talk voice messaging inside the enterprise, further enhancing its usability.

Wireless Services Manager

Motorola's Wireless Services Manager (WSM) facilitates the seamless hand- off between WLAN and cellular networks, providing contiguous communication even as enterprise users move from one network to another. The WSM also enables the extension of enterprise telephony functions into the cellular network, delivering enhanced and transparent functionality to users. Push-to-talk voice messaging within the enterprise is also facilitated by the WSM. The Wireless Services Manager provides solution security with mechanisms that validate network elements, devices and users.

Network Services Manager

Motorola's Network Services Manager provides system administration tools to securely configure and manage the Enterprise Seamless Mobility solution. It is designed to provide simple integration into existing network management systems.

Each of these products is part of a complete solution architecture. IP telephony components include Avaya's suite of IP-enabled MultiVantage(TM) Communications Applications, which includes the company's flagship IP telephony software, Communication Manager. This software helps enterprises evolve to secure and reliable converged communications, and supports seamless hand-offs between WLAN and public cellular networks. The voice-enabled WLAN infrastructure from Avaya and Proxim facilitates mobility within the WLAN and implements Quality of Service (QoS) standards to ensure voice quality.

Availability

The Enterprise Seamless Mobility solution is entering its final commercialization stages, with trial customer deployments currently underway at three major enterprise locations as well as Motorola, Avaya and Proxim corporate offices. Commercial availability is expected later this year.
