Motorola Extends Its Telematics Leadership With Explosive Growth in Numbers

    More than 1.5 million Telematics Systems Shipped by Motorola Worldwide

    LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5 Committed to establishing itself as
a leader in the Telematics industry, the Motorola Telematics
Communications Group (TCG), today announced it has shipped more than
1.5 million Telematics systems worldwide since January 1999.  Leading the way
with a comprehensive offering of in-vehicle technologies, Motorola has been
delivering Telematics since the introduction of the Ford RESCU system in 1996.
    Telematics systems include applications ranging from cellular telephone
capabilities to Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation and wireless
Internet access.  As Motorola's automotive OEM partners commit to making
Telematics systems standard equipment on more of their vehicles, the
sales number is expected to grow substantially.  As an experienced, proven
end-to-end global Telematics solutions provider, Motorola is continuing to
expand its portfolio of equipment, services, applications and strategic
alliances to meet the growing demands of the market worldwide.
    "Motorola is viewed as the leader in the emerging wireless Telematics
industry.  Since our invention of the car radio 70 years ago, Motorola's
commitment to the automotive industry has remained strong," said Brian
Santoro, vice president and director of global sales and marketing for
Motorola TCG.  "Our Telematics systems and our enabling technologies make
up the vast majority of all Telematics shipments.  The explosion of the
Telematics industry is expected to be a major growth engine for Motorola going
forward."
    Motorola breaks down the Telematics industry into four major segments of
increasing functionality -- the connected car, the safe car, the productive
car and the fun car:

    -- The connected car: The Telematics solution for the connected car offers
       consumer enhanced personal calling from an integrated phone system.  It
       features wireless and hands-free communications, such as embedded
       cellular phones and portable handset support electronics.

    -- The safe car: This segment adds the ability to take advantage of such
       services as emergency calling, roadside assistance, stolen vehicle
       tracking and remote door unlock.  Features include integrated wireless
       communication systems, hands-free capability, precise positioning and
       on-board computer products.

    -- The productive car: This segment adds voice portal Internet access
       capabilities, advanced dynamic navigation and real-time traffic
       services and enabling technologies for mobile commerce.  The productive
       car also boasts a Java on-board computing platform, Java applications
       framework and Telematics applications software.

    -- The fun car: The fun car adds capabilities for infotainment services,
       home-networked audio/visual entertainment and access to wide bandwidth
       wireless networks.  The fun car adds features such as satellite audio
       and integration into other multi-media electronics, bringing the
       endless possibilities of media directly to the vehicle.
