Motorola Delivers Tetra Digital Radio System for Kazan Metro

MOSCOW, October 20/PRNewswire/ --

- Kazan Metro Now Has the Most Advanced Subway Communications in Russia
After Rollout of Motorola Compact Tetra System

Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announces that it has completed the
deployment of a TETRA (TErrestrial Trunked RAdio) digital radio system for
Kazan City Administration and Kazan Metropolitan Company. The project was a
joint effort between Optima, MS SpetsTelecom, and Motorola's certified
distributor, RCI.

As part of the project, the customer received a Motorola Compact TETRA
digital radio system, including six multi-channel base stations and 450
radios. Additional TETRA equipment was installed on the Kazan Metropolitan
Company office building in order to provide coverage for both underground
(tunnels, subway stations) and overground facilities.

The project was commissioned in August 2005 to coincide with the
celebration of Kazan's millennial anniversary. To ensure the successful
rollout of the project, MS SpetsTelecom, the operator for the TETRARUS
Federal Project, provided the required frequency spectrum in Kazan, along
with its expertise in deploying and maintaining similar systems. RCI and
Optima were selected as integrators for the project.

The Motorola Compact TETRA system fully complies with the TETRA standard.
Since it was first used in the Russian market, many small and medium-sized
customers have already chosen the benefits of TETRA digital radio technology
to address their communications needs including traditional PMR, wireless
telephony, paging and packet data. Motorola's Compact TETRA offers a scalable
solution to serve both small local teams of hundreds of people, and larger
organisations with thousands of employees.

Stuart Broome, Director, Motorola Government & Enterprise Mobile
Solutions, Russia, Belarus and Armenia, said: "Professional radio users in
Russia, as well as all over the world, are committed to advanced digital
trunking solutions, because they value the reliability and features powered
by the latest technology. We are excited to launch the first TETRA system in
Russia deployed for a subway, and we believe that this deployment will unlock
new opportunities for us in the transportation communications market. The
advanced digital radio system for Kazan metro means better command and
control for all the subway's services, and ultimately, a higher level of
safety for passengers."
