Kosovo Selects Motorola Canopy® Wireless Broadband Platform to Enhance Mission Critical Communications

KOSOVO - 13 March 2006 - Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT), a global leader in wireless communications, announced today that its Canopy™ wireless broadband platform has been deployed in Kosovo. Motorola, together with KPS and UNMIK initiated and implemented a private encrypted Voice over IP network using Motorola’s Canopy® Wireless for the Kosovo Police Service /UNMIK Police (United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo).

Motorola and its subcontractors (NETRA Macedonia and InterAdria Kosovo) installed and linked more than 20 police stations at regional cities’ Headquarters and remotely located Police and Border Control stations all over Kosovo.

The system consists of Canopy backbone links of up to 60 Mbps and a VoIP gateway server, PBX telephony functions and remote location telephones.

The phone calls, data and video images packets are using Canopy’s built-in encryption and being transmitted over six Canopy links of over 200 Kilometers distance at an exceptional voice and data transfer quality. The links create a backbone of wireless LAN with distances for single link of up to 40 Kilometers.

A full management and control system of the Canopy links and the Voice over IP gateways provides a complete status of the network at any given time. System integration included equipment, software, PBX’s and services from different companies including AudioCodes. Each unit on the network is remotely controlled and enables software upgrades, performance review, log history and remote boot.

The Canopy wireless broadband platform proved its reliability and durability in Kosovo’s extreme weather conditions delivering an excellent Voice, Data and Video link at excellent fault proof rates.

Motorola’s professional teams provided a combined solution and ensured a tailored, cost-effective communication system that is best at its class, while utilizing the advanced Canopy wireless communications solution. Officers of The Kosovo Police force and the UNMIK reported that they were extremely satisfied with Motorola’s system and intend to proceed and connect all border control Stations.
