Motorola Mobility and Orange UK Announce Motorola ATRIX™, the Future of Mobile Computing
The world’s most powerful smartphone packs the power and capabilities of a PC in your pocket through Motorola’s revolutionary webtop application
Basingstoke, U.K. – Motorola Mobility, Inc. (NYSE: MMI), and Orange UK announced Motorola ATRIX™, which unleashes the power of the smartphone like never before. Motorola’s revolutionary webtop application makes Motorola ATRIX the only smartphone to carry the power of mobile computing inside your pocket. Designed to bring unprecedented computing capabilities to your smartphone, Motorola’s webtop application runs a full Mozilla Firefox 3.6 browser and supports Adobe® Flash® Player to open up all the rich graphics, animations and video on the web. Motorola ATRIX includes a dual core processor with each core running at 1 GHz, delivering up to two GHz of processing power, and 1 GB of RAM. Put simply, Motorola ATRIX is the world’s most powerful smartphone.
“We want to empower individuals, giving them new ways to stay connected, informed and entertained at home, on the job and anywhere in between,” said Andrew Morley, vice president of marketing for Motorola Mobility, EMARA. “We are finding that consumers are increasingly using smartphones as their primary digital screens. Motorola ATRIX ushers in a new era in mobile computing and has the power to deliver on its promise to empower individuals as it comes loaded with the Motorola webtop application, which enables consumers to enhance the capabilities of their smartphones and simultaneously reduce their need for additional mobile computing screens.”
“We are proud to be the UK launch partner for Motorola ATRIX, a ground-breaking product that delivers on our ongoing commitment to offer customers the latest multimedia devices,” said Phil Roberson, director of Devices, Everything Everywhere, the company that runs Orange UK. “Motorola ATRIX offers our customers a new and exciting way to stay in touch with the people who matter the most to them.”
Motorola ATRIX is designed to essentially become a user’s primary digital hub to create, edit and enjoy documents, media and content. This is facilitated by Motorola’s webtop application and by the optional Motorola HD Multimedia Dock and Motorola Laptop Dock that provide users with a larger screen, keyboard and trackpad – enabling an enhanced and more interactive experience with their devices.
While in webtop, users are given a window into the smartphone that enables access to all of the device’s functionality within Android. Calls continue uninterrupted if Motorola ATRIX is removed from a dock. Plus, the new Entertainment Centre feature lets you show all of the photos, music and videos you already enjoy on-the-go on a big screen in your living room.
Motorola ATRIX provides consumers with instantaneous access to all their emails, files and media. While using the webtop application, business customers will benefit from the Citrix Receiver application for complete access to commercial desktop-licensed software. In addition to the full suite of office productivity and email applications, users can also access a great number of web applications such as Salesforce.com, Google Docs, and any HTML application or service from a full desktop browser.
Motorola ATRIX runs Android™ 2.2 with access to more than 100,000 apps and games in the Android Market™.
Motorola is highlighting two industry-leading companion docks for ATRIX:
The Motorola HD Multimedia Dock as three USB ports and an HDMI port enabling connections to a keyboard, mouse, speakers and HDMI-compatible monitor for working at your desk, or connecting to an HDMI-compatible television and home theater audio system for enjoying video, music, games and more.
The Motorola Laptop Dock has an incredibly thin design with an 11.6-inch screen, 36Wh three-cell battery that delivers up to eight hours of battery life, full keyboard, stereo speakers, and weighs just 1.1 kilograms. Users simply dock their Motorola ATRIX into the back for true mobility at work, at home and playing on the go in a form factor that’s lighter and smaller than most laptops on the market.
Key features and specifications:
A dual core processor capable of opening web pages twice as fast as most other smartphones, rendering games faster and displaying HD video on big-screen TVs
A full 1 GB of RAM for twice the RAM of most smartphones to deliver effortless multi-tasking, such as watching a movie while receiving and responding to email
The world’s first qHD display for a smartphone, offering high resolution and 24-bit color, making it easier to read indoors and outdoors
Front- and rear-facing cameras for video chat and the ability to record in HD
Up to 48GB of storage (16GB internal and optional 32GB MicroSD card) – enough to store thousands of songs, photos and movies
Optional 3G Mobile Hotspot service for connecting up to four additional Wi-Fi-enabled devices
Biometric fingerprint reader for easily unlocking your phone while providing extra security
Under 11mm thin with an extra large 1930 mAh battery for extended standby and talk time
Two microphones employing noise-reduction technology so your calls will be heard loud and clear in even the noisiest environments

Ericsson - Aircel's largest 3G partner in India
Ericsson to deploy 3G network in six of Aircel's market areas or circles
Millions to be connected through mobile broadband with Aircel
Mobile broadband solution includes radio, core, transmission and related services
Aircel, India's leading mobile operator, part of Maxis Communications Berhad, Malaysia, has awarded Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) a contract to roll out a 3G/HSPA network across six out of its 13 circles or geographic market areas. These six circles currently serve more than 100 million subscribers and Ericsson will be Aircel's largest partner for 3G implementation. Aircel will offer its customers services such as video telephony, mobile broadband, mobile TV, video on demand and others including music downloads, video tones, instant messaging and online gaming.
For many people, broadband has changed from being "nice to have" to being an absolute necessity in modern-day life - for conducting business, managing a household or as a means of entertainment. Likewise, the mobile phone has become one of the main tools for nearly 5 billion people in the world to communicate. Along with mobile broadband, it enables whole new ways of keeping in touch, accessing services and working on the move.
Sandip Das, CEO of Maxis says, "Ericsson and Maxis, have a long history of infrastructure partnership starting up from 2G through to 3G and possibly future technologies, across our subsidiaries and allied companies operating in Malaysia, India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. We respect them and look forward to their continued support to our group's commitment to providing quality networks and advanced services to our customers".
Hans Vestberg, President & CEO, Ericsson says, "Maxis group and Aircel is a preferred partner for us. We greatly value our strategic association and the India 3G agreement further reinforces this partnership".
Gurdeep Singh, COO of Aircel says: "For many people in India connected for the first time, 3G mobile broadband will bring completely new types of services and benefits. We are confident that with this partnership, we will benefit from Ericsson's global expertise of 3G deployments, and will be able to offer our customers a world-class 3G experience.
Gowton Achaibar, head of Ericsson India, says: "We are extremely excited to partner with Aircel for the implementation of its 3G network. We foresee 3G brings economic advantages and increased social interaction in the country. With the advent of 3G, the mobile phone will not just be about convenience and satisfying a basic need for communication; it will also provide access to services such as healthcare, education and information, supporting people's livelihoods."
Under the agreement with Aircel, Ericsson will provide core, radio and transmission network equipment as well as related services such as network rollout, network technology and consulting, radio network optimization and support services. The mobile broadband network will include the latest multi-standard radio base station, RBS6000, and the MSC Server Blade Cluster, which will drastically boost the capacity of the network and evolve it into an IP network. The framework contract will be implemented from 2010 to 2012. Deliveries and deployment are underway. Aircel and Ericsson made the first successful 3G call last week in Chennai and Coimbatore.
The six Aircel circles Ericsson provides 3G technology in are: Tamil Nadu Bihar; Orissa; Jammu Kashmir; North East; and Assam.

China Unicom and Ericsson in managed services contract
Ericsson wins managed services contract with China Unicom, serving five major cities of China's eastern Anhui province
Ericsson takes full responsibility for base station sites, fixed network and transmission in a three-year integrated field maintenance agreement
Allows China Unicom to cut its costs and provide improved services for its subscribers
The longstanding partnership between China Unicom and Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) passed a landmark as Anhui Unicom - a provincial company of China Unicom - signed a three-year integrated field maintenance agreement with Ericsson, making Ericsson its largest managed services partner in Anhui Province. Ericsson will take care of the maintenance work for base station sites, as well as fixed network and transmission.
This is the largest managed services contract between the two to date. By outsourcing field maintenance, more time is freed up for the operator to focus on its existing and potential customers.
Li Chao, General Manager of Anhui Unicom, says: "Anhui Unicom and Ericsson have been strategic partners for many years and we have a very high opinion of Ericsson's expertise in all aspects. We believe that Ericsson will extend its successful managed services business model and world-leading capabilities to Anhui and help us improve our network efficiency, lower operational cost, and fulfil our commitment to the consumers."
Mats H Olsson, President of Ericsson China & North East Asia, says: "China represents the largest telecom and internet market in the world with some 800 million mobile subscribers and 420 million internet users. It also has the largest telecom infrastructure, with more than 320,000 3G base stations. We hope that by becoming Anhui Unicom's largest managed services supplier we will set a benchmark for field maintenance services throughout China Unicom."
Anhui is the eighth most populated province in China and has a mobile penetration of around 50 percent. The field maintenance agreement between Ericsson and Anhui Unicom covers five major cities of China's eastern Anhui province including Wuhu, Xuancheng, Bengbu, Chuzhou, and the province capital city Hefei.
In the past, Ericsson has been one of the major suppliers to Anhui Unicom and its largest GSM supplier. Ericsson has also long-term cooperation with the customer in professional services, including network rollout, network performance improvement, learning services and spare-part management.

Ericsson will take care of the maintenance work for base station sites, as well as fixed network and transmission.
This is the largest managed services contract between the two to date. By outsourcing field maintenance, more time is freed up for the operator to focus on its existing and potential customers.
Li Chao, General Manager of Anhui Unicom, says: "Anhui Unicom and Ericsson have been strategic partners for many years and we have a very high opinion of Ericsson's expertise in all aspects. We believe that Ericsson will extend its successful managed services business model and world-leading capabilities to Anhui and help us improve our network efficiency, lower operational cost, and fulfil our commitment to the consumers."
Mats H Olsson, President of Ericsson China & North East Asia, says: "China represents the largest telecom and internet market in the world with some 800 million mobile subscribers and 420 million internet users. It also has the largest telecom infrastructure, with more than 320,000 3G base stations. We hope that by becoming Anhui Unicom's largest managed services supplier we will set a benchmark for field maintenance services throughout China Unicom."
Anhui is the eighth most populated province in China and has a mobile penetration of around 50 percent. The field maintenance agreement between Ericsson and Anhui Unicom covers five major cities of China's eastern Anhui province including Wuhu, Xuancheng, Bengbu, Chuzhou, and the province capital city Hefei.
In the past, Ericsson has been one of the major suppliers to Anhui Unicom and its largest GSM supplier. Ericsson has also long-term cooperation with the customer in professional services, including network rollout, network performance improvement, learning services and spare-part management.

Netia has sights set on Polish households
Netia, Poland's second-largest fixed network operator, recently extended its managed-services contract with Ericsson by three years. By putting its network operation in reliable hands, the operator can focus on its major asset: private households.
Poland is now fully mobile. The penetration rate of mobile services is as high as 120 percent, because people are signing up for multiple subscriptions. But rather than competing for new mobile subscribers, Netia has chosen a different path. It is going after fixed broadband household consumers, a market that for many years was monopolized.
Miroslaw Godlewski, CEO of Netia, says: "We have been very active in the development of this newly-available market and the result is that there has been a fast increase of broadband services in our country. The speeds are rising and prices for broadband access are also dropping quickly – which makes it more affordable, so more people are signing up for services."
The operator recently joined the trend of bundling services. Instead of just selling broadband as before, Netia is now packaging its services with unlimited calls subscriptions and other fixed voice packages. Some companies have already started upselling the third service, TV, though not always IPTV, and bundling with other technologies, such as satellite. Netia is getting ready to bundle three services and offering it to more and more users.
Netia has been the biggest beneficiary of the deregulation of the market. In the past three years, it has taken a 30 percent market share of net additions and has been the fastest growing company in terms of providing broadband services to new users. This also means that Netia has been growing revenue – which is not very common among telecom companies.
So what type of support does Netia need from Ericsson?
Godlewski says: "Part of the support is already happening due to the big outsourcing contract that we just signed with Ericsson. Being a fast growing company and juggling a number of priorities, it's crucial for us to be able to hand over the more stable part of the business to reliable hands. Helping us with some of the dilemmas – how, when, and in what way we should move into the next generation network – and then helping us making that transformation will be vital. For a local company like Netia, it's not obvious how this has been done at other companies. It’s very beneficial for us to get help from a global company like Ericsson."

Computing industry leaders form Asia Cloud Computing Association to drive regional adoption, security, and policy
Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Systems, EMC Corporation, Microsoft, NetApp, Nokia Siemens Networks, PLDT/Smart, Rackspace, REACH, Telenor, and Verizon, today announced they have formed Asia Cloud Computing Association (Asia Cloud), an open collaboration forum based in the Asia Pacific region.
The non-profit, vendor-neutral organization will address regional issues and challenges to adoption of cloud computing in Asia including privacy and security concerns, compliance and regulatory mandates, licensing models, service levels, and other market risks.
The research firm IDC estimates that the market for cloud computing in Asia outside Japan will grow to around US$1.3 billion this year and will continue to expand at a rate of approximately 40 percent a year until 2014 (Source: IDC, 2010), whereas in Japan, currently the second largest IT market globally, the cloud computing market is expected to grow to US$29.2 billion in 2015 (Source: Japan’s Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry 2010). However, security concerns, data storage regulations, low penetration of bandwidth in some countries, and government policies oriented to traditional computing models are inhibiting market growth.
“Cloud adoption in the Asia Pacific region has yet to reach its full potential. The regulatory landscape and varying market maturity levels have fragmented the adoption of cloud computing in the region,” noted Asia Cloud chairman and REACH chief information officer, Sundi Balu. “Organizations in Asia have voiced several concerns, particularly around security, service levels, and regulatory positions. There is a strong sense of urgency to have these concerns resolved by an open industry collaboration focused on the actual market realities and conditions in Asia. With Asia Cloud as a platform, key stakeholders can collaborate on issues specific to Asia and enable faster and more efficient adoption of cloud computing.”
The organization will evaluate global cloud standards produced by other industry associations and determine which can be adapted or advocated regionally. Initial working groups include those for public policy and regulatory issues, security, taxonomy, and carrier-grade applications. Anticipated deliverables for 2011 include best practices, a cloud-readiness index, development of a taxonomy, and the establishment of formal relationships with other organizations in cloud computing.
“Cloud computing will play a fundamental role in re-shaping how telecommunications service providers offer applications to end users and how their internal systems are implemented,” said Mike Murphy, initiator of the Carrier-Grade Cloud Computing Working Group and head of Technology APAC, Nokia Siemens Networks. “Asia Cloud Computing Association is a great vehicle for industry leaders to direct that re-shaping in a consistent manner.”
Asia Cloud welcomes computing service, hardware, and software providers, end users, and government/policy, research/academic organizations to join the effort. More information about Asia Cloud and a membership prospectus are available at www.asiacloud.org.

Nokia Siemens Networks to improve mobile networks across Afghanistan
Nokia Siemens Networks to improve mobile networks across Afghanistan Afghan Wireless selects telecoms supplier to enhance its capacity, coverage and agility
Afghan Wireless Communication Company (AWCC) plans to increase coverage, particularly in rural areas, and provide a range of new mobile services. Nokia Siemens Networks will modernize and expand the operator’s 2.5G (GSM/GPRS) network and provide subscriber data management and charging and billing platforms. As a result, more people will be able to access mobile services across the country.
With close to 17 million subscribers, Afghanistan’s current mobile penetration is around 57%*. This shows the great strides the country has taken since 2002 when there were no phones in the country**. At the same time, there remains a clear opportunity to expand into the underserved parts of the country and reach a larger segment of the rural population.
"We are committed to improving the mobile network for our people across Afghanistan. While this demanded overhauling our network to build additional capacity and introduce new technologies, we also had to protect our existing investments," said Daniel M. Florentine, Member Board of Directors AWCC. "We selected Nokia Siemens Networks as we fully trust its capabilities and expertise – the company will prepare us for a seamless transition to next-generation technologies."
"The mobile phone– and the opportunities it brings – are becoming a fundamental right for all citizens. As in the rest of the world, people across Afghanistan want widespread access to mobile networks," added Veqar ul Islam, head of sub region "east", Nokia Siemens Networks Middle East and Africa. "We can help Afghan Wireless deliver consistent services across the country and provide the required edge to outperform competition while reducing its capital and operational costs."
As part of the contract, Nokia Siemens Networks will upgrade the operator’s radio network with its energy-efficient Flexi Base Station and Flexi Base Station Controller to deliver increased capacity, connectivity and uninterrupted services. The small size and low energy consumption of these units make them highly suitable for operation in remote, rural areas. AWCC will also benefit from lower operational costs with the deployment of integrated packet-based transport capability that supports increased voice and data traffic on the installed base of network connections. In addition, the operator’s energy costs will be reduced as a result of swapping outdated mobile switches with state-of-the-art mobile softswitches.
Nokia Siemens Networks will also roll out its subscriber data management solution, including its One-NDS centralized subscriber repository so that AWCC can easily generate insights on end-user behavior to develop services catering to the specific needs of different users. The telecom suppliers’ charge@once billing platform will improve AWCC’s time-to-market for new and targeted marketing campaigns and combine services across pre-paid and post-paid subscribers. In addition, Nokia Siemens Networks will deliver a complete range of professional services, including network implementation, care and system integration.

Swisscom Selects Motorola’s Ultra-Broadband VDSL2 Gateways for Advanced Multi-Play Services
Switzerland’s leading telecom provider will use Motorola’s new 7600 Series gateways to deliver advanced services such as high definition video, high-speed data, and digital voice
Zurich, Switzerland – Motorola Mobility announced that Swisscom has chosen to deploy the new Motorola 7600 Series of ultra-broadband VDSL2 gateways to deliver advanced services including high definition (HD) video, high-speed data and voice-over-IP (VoIP) to its subscribers.
“Motorola and Swisscom have been close partners for over eight years, and this latest deployment builds on our strong relationship. This is another validation of Motorola’s leadership position in developing advanced customer premise solutions that enable our service provider customers to offer rich multi-play services,” commented Steve McCaffery, vice president and general manager, Home business EMEA, Motorola Mobility.
The 7600 gateways are based on the latest VDSL2 technology with integrated ADSL2+ fallback, featuring an integrated high-performance network processor and DMT-based VDSL2 modem. Combined with Motorola's embedded firmware, the 7600 series gateways provide the advanced routing, quality of service (QoS), and TR-069 remote management capabilities that allow service providers like Swisscom to monetize their broadband networks while improving efficiency and reducing costs.
The 7647-47 is a combination VDSL2/ADSL2+ gateway designed for homes where multiple services are to be delivered to several users and/or devices. The 7647-47 includes two integrated FXS/voice ports for VoIP support, four 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN ports, an 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi access point, and a built-in firewall for secure home networking.
The 7640-47 is a combination VDSL2/ADSL2+ gateway designed for single user households. The 7640-47 includes an integrated FXS/voice port for VoIP support, two 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN ports, and a built-in firewall for secure home networking.

DOCOMO and University of Tokyo to Conduct Joint Research for Urban Planning Based on Mobile Spatial Statistics
NTT DOCOMO, INC. announced that it will conduct a joint research project with the University of Tokyo which involves utilizing mobile spatial statistics – population statistics compiled from the data required for mobile service provision – for efficient urban planning. The project will take place from November 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011, with data coming from Kashiwa City, a suburb of Tokyo in Chiba Prefecture, where one of the University of Tokyo campuses is located (see attachment).
In the research, DOCOMO will estimate fluctuations in geographic population distribution based on mobile spatial statistics. The University of Tokyo will then analyze the correlation between the estimated population distribution and the actual urban space data. DOCOMO and the University of Tokyo plan to release the research results at academic conferences.
As part of an initiative to make social contributions through its mobile business, DOCOMO is conducting research for the utilization of mobile spatial statistics in collaboration with specialists and various organizations. The goal is to make practical use of such statistics for the general public as a means of contributing to the development of society and industry.
Mobile spatial statistics are aggregate data that include mobile phone locations and user attributes, from which individual users are never identified.

Telenor's next generation communication
*
New frame agreement between Telenor and Ericsson for more cost-efficient fixed voice production
*
Telenor enabled to offer Norwegians personalized and richer telephony services such as chat, presence, and video communication in the fixed network
*
Transformation to a common all-IP (IMS) core and service platform provides cost efficiency and prepares the ground for new revenue streams
*
Telenor secures a future-proof path for convergence of their mobile and fixed networks, while preparing for 4G
Imagine a communication service that automatically follows you wherever you go, and you could see the status of your friends and contacts on any of your phones and devices and then connect easily to them with voice, video or chat. A service that lets everyone in the house know that an incoming call was specifically for you. Well, this can become reality for Telenor's subscribers in Norway thanks to the new IMS based solution, Multimedia Telephony (MMTel) from Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC).
Telenor, Norway's largest fixed and mobile telecommunications service provider, is constantly seeking new ways to provide additional value for their customers. By transforming its fixed network into one IP-based converged network (IMS) and by gradually migrating all of its subscribers to a common IP-based service platform, Telenor secures a future service offering with high quality voice and multimedia services. The platform is also made ready for the introduction of 4G voice.
Ericsson will, under this contract, also consolidate all mobile and fixed subscriber data into a centralized user database based on a Data Layered Architecture (DLA). This will allow Telenor to integrate its fixed and mobile service offering while providing a flexible service package serving the specific needs of entire households and businesses.
Robert Puskaric, Head of Region Northern Europe and Central Asia says: "Because our solution is designed to allow for cost-efficient rich communication, it provides a future-proof way to consolidate Telenor's existing networks and get the most out of the new multimedia services entering the market. We are proud to drive the evolution of the network for an innovative and forward looking operator like Telenor, starting with the fixed voice services."
Rolv-Erik Spilling, CTO Telenor Norway, explains how the MMTel and IMS solution first and foremost will modernize the production systems and reduce the cost for fixed voice services and then also serve as a platform for increase of our revenues. "By transforming all services to IP-based technology, our subscribers can over time benefit from richer and more convenient communications; for example, knowing who is available for a call and having an individual number for each member of the family. The richer functions will make it possible for us to create tailor-made offerings for users or groups with very specific and differentiating needs such as family and business users."
Under the agreement, Ericsson is the sole supplier of the new MultiMedia Telephony (MMTel) solution in Telenor's fixed network and the prime integrator of the project. The solution includes an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Core network, Ericsson's own MMTel Application Server (MTAS) and an Ericsson Data Layered Architecture solution for consolidating user data.
