"Motorolas performance completely exceeded expectations during our recent launch of the 2002 Khareff Season in Salalah. The network handled around 85,000 calls in the first three hours alone, with only seventy calls blocked due to congestion. Thats an amazing figure, keeping in mind that most of these calls were made in an area of one square kilometer." Mohammed bin Ali Al-Wohaibi, Executive President, Omantel

Belgium Within twelve weeks, a Motorola customers 3,000 cell sites were deployed and operational, providing coverage equal to 50% of the Belgium population. Bulgaria Within seven weeks, this Motorola network was operational, and within twelve weeks, it was commercially launched to meet the first phase of the customers license requirements. This full turnkey project, which included RF planning, site acquisition, and network implementation is a true testament to Motorolas highly effective network deployment service.

Motorola GSM Network Launch Experience

Since the mid 1980s, Motorola has developed, manufactured, and supported commercial wireless networks that have helped operators achieve their business and financial goals by providing implementation, migration, and optimization strategies that uniquely fit the needs of operators in both developed and emerging markets. With a long history of commercial GSM Radio Access Network (RAN) experience, Motorola has become a recognized technology leader. In 1991, we launched the worlds first working GSM cellular network in Germany. Today, over 22 GSM customers operate more than 120 major Motorola networks throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, Middle East, and Africa.

Combining Software and Services Capabilities for Increased Performance

Motorola has uniquely combined software and service capabilities (i.e., Motorola Interoperability Services (IOS) with Synthesized Frequency Hopping) to provide measurable advantages that improve capacity, enhance service quality, reduce churn, and increase network call volumes.

WINNING DEPLOYMENT STRATEGIES FOR EMERGING AND CURRENT OPERATORS

Motorola provides you with the exact network architecture you need for your business model todayand lays the foundation for what youll need tomorrow.
Building

the Foundation. Greenfield and startup operators around the world are leveraging Motorolas extensive GSM experience in system engineering, network deployment, planning and optimization, and robust GSM/GPRS features. While integrating their current investment in Motorola 2G networks, operators are setting the stage for the future with a solid 3G migration plan. Strategies from other Wireless Technologies. Operators migrate to new technologies (such as TDMA to GSM) to maintain market status, increase market share, or acquire incremental revenue. However, transition requirements can be costly and disruptive if not carefully planned. Motorola provides a comprehensive business analysis to assess the financial and network impact of transitioning your current network to a GSM/GPRS network. Expansion and IOT. We recognize that your network might be
