ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT), world leader in the development and deployment of
TETRA communication solutions, today announced the shipment of its one
millionth TETRA terminal. The customer receiving this milestone terminal is
the Jordan Armed Forces (JAF).
Motorola will supply TETRA portable devices, including MTH800 terminals,
MTM800 Enhanced mobiles and CM5000 TETRA Gateway repeaters for use on JAF's
TETRA network, providing increased security across Jordan. The contract was
awarded to Motorola following an evaluation process that included
comprehensive interoperability testing of the terminals on the customer's
network. As a symbol of the significance of this major milestone, Motorola
will be presenting a gratitude award to his Royal Highness Prince Faisal Bin
Al Hussein of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan during an award ceremony taking
place on the 2nd day of IDEX 2009.
"We are very pleased to be working with Jordan Armed Forces and providing
our robust and reliable TETRA radios. It is great to have reached such an
important milestone which has been achieved through our championing and
development of TETRA technology worldwide. Our focus remains on developing and
designing intuitive products that match the demands and needs of all different
types of users across all continents. The market is continuing to grow and
diversify and we are well placed to push the technology even further," said
Manuel Torres, vice president and general manager, Motorola Government &
Public Safety, EMEA.
The shipment is the latest TETRA success for Motorola in the Middle East
and North Africa region, which is currently experiencing rapid growth. In
recent months Motorola has been awarded a number of contracts across this
region and others for the provision of TETRA networks and terminals. In Asia
Pacific, Motorola's TETRA solutions continue their stronghold in the public
safety sector while gaining fast traction in transportation such as metros and
airports. As an indicator, over 60,000 Motorola TETRA radios were in use by
various agencies in China to support the 2008 Olympics Games while recently,
the company announced TETRA wins for three airports in India alone. Motorola
is poised to capitalize on the growth and expansion in 2009 and beyond. The
number of TETRA users is expected to continue to grow with Motorola already
deploying new TETRA solutions for customers around the world such as Austria,
Denmark, Norway, Portugal and Hong Kong.
