Motorola Awarded its Third TETRA Contract in Denmark

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, October 20/PRNewswire/ --

- Danish State Railways Chooses Motorola and TetraNet to Supply New
Communications System

Following a competitive tender, the Danish State Railways (DSB) S-train
has awarded Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) and TetraNet the contract to provide a
new TETRA (TErrestrial Trunked RAdio) network. The new network will deliver
seamless communications for the DSB's service personnel, including train
inspectors and drivers. As a result of this agreement, all public
transportation organisations in the capital, Copenhagen, will now be relying
on TETRA technology and services to meet their communication needs.

The contract covers a voice and data network and the provision of
Motorola MTH800 portable radios. In addition equipment for DSB S-train's
command and control centres will be provided, as well as air-time service and
maintenance. The network will be delivered before the end of 2005 as part of
a rapid rollout as part of DSB S-train's IT strategy to improve efficiency.

The MTH800 portable radios are capable of traditional voice calls and
sending and receiving data, meaning mobile users can access DSB databases in
the field. The portable radios are equipped with a WAP (Wireless Application
Protocol) browser for internet access and include a GPS (General Positioning
Satellite) receiver, meaning users' locations can be pinpointed even from
inside the trains.

The GPS features are a key part of the system for DSB S-train. In the
case of an incident or issue, the control centre can quickly and easily see
who is in the best location to solve it. GPS also has an effect on personnel
safety, as each radio has an emergency button which shows the user's exact
whereabouts providing greater peace of mind and personal safety.

TETRA technology was chosen because of its proven operational reliability
and its ability to prioritise traffic. The decision is part of DSB S trains
overall strategy to improve and future-proof its IT facilities as much as
possible.

"The solution gives DSB S-train a service that meets its needs for voice
and data communications on a day-to-day basis, but it also gives our Customer
the peace of mind that should there be an emergency situation TETRA is the
best technology to deal with this," comments Bo Wassberg, Country Manager,
Motorola Denmark. "Where ease of operation and security are key criteria,
TETRA is the preferred solution. We believe we were chosen because of our
experience as well as our ability to deploy this service in the short
timescale the Customer needed"

Although the TETRA open-standard was initially developed for mission
critical environments, it has also been embraced by public transportation
organisations, which have organisational requirements for secure, reliable
voice and data communications. In Denmark, the Copenhagen Metro was the first
organisation to choose TETRA, followed by Hovedstadens Udviklingsrråd (HUR),
operating more that 1,200 buses and now the commuter train services have also
chosen TETRA.
