Motorola Scores with Transportation Customers in Asia

Motorola’s end-to-end business-critical communications solutions sales to rail and port operators gain momentum across Asia Pacific

MALAYSIA, May 19, 2006 – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT), a global leader in wireless communications, has been rapidly gaining momentum as a solution provider for major transportation operators across Asia Pacific. One of many milestone awards from key transportation customers in Asia Pacific includes Malaysia’s Express Rail Link (ERL) Sdn Bhd and Modern Terminal Limited in Hong Kong – Asia’s first seaport to implement the TETRA (TErrestrial Trunked RAdio) system.

ERL is the operator of Malaysia’s first high-speed train, providing airport services at the Kuala Lumpur City Centre Air Terminal and high-speed rail services between the air terminal and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
“The Express Rail Link was one of the major milestone wins for Motorola as it is the world’s first operational TETRA system for rail. One of the key reasons customers, such as ERL, cite for having chosen Motorola as the preferred radio communications partner-of-choice include our reputation as an experienced and reliable end-to-end communications solutions provider for transportation operations worldwide. We are a global company with a strong local presence,” said Asri Hassan, country sales manager, Networks & Enterprise, Motorola Technology Sdn Bhd.

TETRA is a dedicated network infrastructure that delivers secure voice, data and messaging services for one-to-one and complex group communications on a common mobile radio communications platform. It is an open standard ideal for seaports, subways and airports.

Jeff Spaeth, vice president, Networks & Enterprise, Asia Pacific, Motorola, Inc, said:
