DUBAI, United Arab Emirates ? August 19, 2003 ? Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) Global Telecom Solutions Sector (GTSS) today announced it has signed an expansion contract worth approximately $19 million with MTC-Vodafone, Kuwait?s largest mobile network operator. The contract includes network services and equipment to increase network capacity and coverage, and to enhance MTC?s general packet radio service (GPRS) service by activating GPRS Coding Schemes 3 and 4 (CS3/4). GPRS CS3/4 enables the provisioning of data services at up to 70 kbps, providing the necessary capacity and throughput to handle most of the data services commercially available to wireless subscribers today.

Motorola will begin deploying its Horizon Macro base stations to provide increased coverage in MTC?s 900 and 1800 networks. All of Motorola?s Horizon radio access network (RAN) solutions are compliant with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standards for GPRS CS3/4.

?Motorola has been a trusted and reliable supplier of network infrastructure equipment to us for many years,? said Dr. Saad Al Baraak, director general for MTC. ?We launched our nationwide GPRS service using a Motorola network just last year, and with this latest expansion of our enhanced GPRS performance, we can offer more customers the latest applications, providing them with an even better service experience.?

?This important network expansion project with MTC is the latest example of how Motorola is building on its strong relationships with leading carriers in the Middle East to deliver equipment and services that can help improve the performance of their networks today, while offering long-term flexibility and value for their capital expenditures,? said Jeff Cherif, vice president for the Middle East and Africa region for Motorola?s GTSS.

Motorola is a leader in GPRS, delivering a full solution including handsets, network infrastructure and applications. Motorola?s GPRS CS3/4 solution can be implemented over an existing Motorola GSM network with a software load and the addition of a packet control unit (PCU), and supports all vendors? GPRS-enabled handsets on the market today. To provide continued flexibility to operators as they migrate their networks, Motorola?s existing Horizon networks also can be upgraded to Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution (EDGE) with a simple hardware upgrade and EDGE software. The new generation Horizon II base station, one of the most powerful for its size on the market, is both GPRS and EDGE capable.
