MOTOwi4(TM) WiMAX portfolio

Key access networks in the MOTOwi4 portfolio include WiMAX, Canopy, backhaul, and Mesh Solutions. MOTOwi4 Canopy is a proven broadband wireless access solution that has been cost-effectively deployed in more than 100 countries -- including a country wide deployment in Macedonia -- and by more than 2,000 service providers since 2002 using 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. In the Macedonia deployment, an initial installation of more than 130 Canopy access points at various schools now also serves consumers and businesses in 36 cities and 170 villages. Altogether, that Canopy network has connected 360 primary and 100 secondary schools as well as 24 secondary school dormitories, 15 university facilities, another 15 local government offices, and more than 1,000 businesses, bringing high-speed wireless connectivity to rural and urban areas at price points that would not otherwise have been attainable.

Canopy technology, designed for unlicensed or managed spectrum, also enables WiMAX services supporting VoIP and IP data applications at price points that can meet customers' business case requirements.

The MOTOwi4(TM) WiMAX portfolio will include 802.16e products designed to meet WiMAX Forum(TM) certification based upon specific profiles to be developed by that industry forum. Operating in licensed spectrum and standards-based following IEEE 802.16 Rev e, Motorola's MOTOwi4 WiMAX products are designed to permit carriers to adopt the full scope of available fixed, nomadic, portable, and mobile applications. The initial product, the MOTOwi4 UltraLight Access Point designed for 3.5GHz and a fixed application, will be 802.16e compliant. It is expected to be available for customer trials by the end of Q2 2006.
