Motorola WiMAX Accelerates the Delivery of Personal Media Experiences at WiMAX Forum Global Congress 2008

Broad ecosystem of WiMAX devices enables live real-world experiences

AMSTERDAM – WiMAX Forum Global Congress – 16 June 2008 - Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) will demonstrate its global WiMAX leadership with a showcase of its wi4 WiMAX portfolio and compelling WiMAX-enabled experiences at stand 3.37 during the WiMAX Forum Global Congress 2008, in Amsterdam, 17-18 June.

“For service providers, WiMAX is primed to deliver an economical wireless broadband network that will enable service providers to offer applications that meet demands of consumers and enterprise customer both today and tomorrow,” said Fred Wright, senior vice president, cellular networks and WiMAX, Motorola Home & Networks Mobility. “Motorola’s early investment and development in WiMAX ensures that our customers benefit from a comprehensive portfolio of WiMAX access points and devices designed to deliver fixed, nomadic and completely mobile personal media experiences.”

For consumers, access to rich media experiences both at home and on the move is becoming a ‘must-have’. Recent research* from Motorola revealed that amongst 1,000 members of the Millennial Generation (ages 16-27), 76 percent believe that their personal lifestyle would change dramatically without the Internet. Motorola will demonstrate the ability of WiMAX to support compelling consumer applications, via its live gaming demonstration, inviting visitors at the stand to challenge members of the Millennial Generation on-site and virtually via the online gaming server.

Motorola will also demonstrate a broad ecosystem of WiMAX solutions and devices, with Motorola infrastructure, such as the WAP 400 access point, interoperating live with devices from a variety of third party providers, as well as Motorola devices. The showcase of experiences such as VoIP, bandwidth-hungry applications such as video streaming, and mobility, will be displayed using devices with embedded chipsets including low-cost WiMAX-enabled laptops, fixed devices including the CPEi 750, PC cards such as Motorola’s PCMw 200, and USB dongles for ‘plug-and-play’ connectivity.

Motorola is a leading provider of WiMAX solutions, delivering both the infrastructure and devices for consumers and enterprises. With 19 contracts for commercial 802.16e WiMAX systems in 16 countries, Motorola has already shipped more than 3,600 access points and 120,000 CPEs and PC cards.
