GENEVA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 8, 1999-- Company to Unveil Wireless Internet "Portfolio" of Networks, Access Devices, Content, Applications and Services at World Telecom '99

Motorola, Inc., the world's largest supplier of wireless communications equipment and leading supplier of embedded solutions, will unveil its new wireless Internet communications architecture vision as well as its new, Internet-ready mobile communications product line at World Telecom '99 in Geneva, Switzerland, October 9-17, 1999.

These newly branded elements of Motorola's integrated, end-to-end communications solutions will be demonstrated live at the Company's exhibit (Hall 5, Stand 5011), throughout the weeklong telecommunications extravaganza.

Via interactive displays, technical seminars, meetings and dinners, Motorola will provide Telecom attendees with a comprehensive view of the wireless Internet age. From never-before-seen next generation technologies that combine voice, data and multimedia into one broadband IP-based network architecture to cutting-edge products like the Motorola Timeport P1088 -- a Java(TM)-powered phone/personal organiser offering Internet connectivity -- Motorola will illustrate real-time solutions for end-users around the world.

This spectrum of products and services supports Motorola's theme for Telecom, "Transforming the Nature of Communications," and it's vision for the future. "We consider this the 'debut' of a new Motorola for a new century," said Christopher B. Galvin, Motorola's chairman and chief executive officer.

"Motorola intends to play a pivotal role in the transformation of communications," said Galvin. "The convergence of wireless communications and the Internet will provide limitless access to information in all forms and will provide an extraordinary opportunity for network operators and service providers to gain new subscribers, migrate to next generation technologies and increase revenues. We are at the gates of the greatest inflection point in the history of communications the merging of the wireless and Internet paths."

Wireless communications and the Internet are already booming:

For users everywhere, the wireless Internet will mean access to information without restrictions of time and location. For network operators and service providers, facing intense consumer demand for new services and advanced communications capabilities, it offers an array of attractive new solutions and business opportunities. For business enterprises and government agencies, it offers the flexibility to better manage multiple dimensions of their communications systems.

At World Telecom '99, Motorola's new line of core network products will show attendees how Internet Protocol (IP) packet technology and a distributed transport/routing, server, software and processing environment can provide dramatic new end user service like: voice over IP, fax over IP, short message services, mobile IP, email, multimedia applications including streaming video and more.

Formed from strategic alliances with some of the world's leading Internet companies including Cisco Systems and Sun Microsystems, Motorola's network products and the wireless Internet vision that drives them, will create a stable, cost-effective, easy way to migrate to and use emerging technology.

In addition to witnessing live demonstrations of speed dialing, caller ID, call forwarding, web-based dialing, and failure call path recoveries via core network products, Telecom '99 attendees can expect to test Motorola's new end-user products, including two new exiting Motorola Timeport phones:

Motorola Timeport P1088 smart phone -- the first dual-band GSM smart phone based on Java technology integrates personal communications with personal organiser functions and access to the Web(a) via two of the World's most powerful browsers: HTML and WAP.
