Motorola Unveils New Addition to the APEX Universal Edge QAM Product Family Tweet

APEX1500 to support growing demand for narrowcast applications, enable switched digital video for cable operators.

HORSHAM, Pa – The Mobile Devices and Home business of Motorola, Inc.(NYSE: MOT) announced the launch of the Motorola APEX1500 Edge QAM; a flexible, high-density, universal edge QAM solution designed to enable more cost-effective deployment of service providers’ narrowcast content to subscribers.

“The continuing rise in demand for bandwidth for narrowcast services such as video on demand (VOD) and switched digital video (SDV) is driving the need for edge QAM solutions with more flexibility, lower power consumption and higher density,” said Bob Wilson, vice president, Networked Video Solutions Group, Motorola Mobile Devices and Home. “As the newest member of the APEX product family, the Motorola APEX1500 does a stellar job of meeting those tough requirements while being a truly universal edge device.”

With the new Motorola APEX1500 Edge QAM, Motorola delivers a standards-based solution with comprehensive support for SDV and VOD, including Modular Headend Architecture (MHA), VOD encryption and RF port-level redundancy, all in a cost-effective two rack unit platform. The Motorola APEX1500 also supports full session VOD encryption, allowing every VOD session to be uniquely encrypted for each set-top to meet the increasing security requirements of content providers. Additionally, when used with the Motorola SDV solution, the Motorola APEX1500 supports edge encryption of SDV streams for Mediacipher® markets, thus eliminating the need for a separate centralized network encryption device.

Building on industry leading RF technology available in the Motorola APEX1000 platform, the Motorola APEX1500 offers high QAM density and low power consumption, making it ideal for narrowcast applications. The Motorola APEX1500 gives cable operators unparalleled flexibility in network design, availability and maintenance costs by incorporating up to six hot-swappable QAM modules and two hot swappable and redundant power supplies, all of which are sharable with the Motorola APEX1000.

A rich history of innovation and demonstrated leadership make Motorola an ideal partner to help service providers move into the "Internet Era of TV." Motorola is focused on delivering solutions that help connect people to their content and community, thereby creating compelling consumer experiences as well as new revenue-generating applications for service providers. The APEX product family contributes to those solutions by supporting efficient IP video delivery over DOCSIS, complementing Motorola’s suite of bandwidth-expansion solutions that can free spectrum for allocation to IP video.

Motorola will be demonstrating the APEX1500 at The Cable Show 2010 in Los Angeles, May 11-13, Motorola Booth #1321.

Kallasvuo addresses Nokia AGM, says 2010 a key year Tweet

Helsinki, Finland - Nokia has built a solid foundation for future success, CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo told shareholders Thursday.

"By combining services with devices, Nokia is in a stronger position to grow and create more value for our shareholders," Kallasvuo said. "We still have plenty of work to do, but we have built a solid foundation. We believe in our strategy."

Nokia's strategy is based on the vision of a future that is truly mobile. People increasingly live their lives in ways that are free from the constraints of place; they want to be able to access and experience the things that matter to them, and share those experiences with others, wherever they are and whatever they happen to be doing.

Kallasvuo said about 83 million people around the world are already registered active users of Nokia services, which increasingly are included with the purchase of a Nokia mobile device.

As evidence of Nokia's achievements thus far, Kallasvuo cited the following statistics:

- The Ovi Store, which opened a year ago this month, is now averaging about 1.7 million downloads a day. There are also localized versions of the store in 18 countries, supporting 30 different languages.

- Nokia's free pedestrian and car navigation software has been downloaded more than 10 million times since it was launched in January. The service is now available for more than 70 countries and in more than 45 languages.

- Comes With Music, which makes millions of songs available for download at no extra cost for up to a year with the purchase of certain Nokia devices, was recently launched in China and India - two of the world's largest and fastest-growing markets.

- Nokia Messaging is growing rapidly, supported by more than 70 operators globally.

- Ovi Mail, which is targeting the billions of potential first-time e-mail users around the world, has registered 8 million subscriptions. That's a rate of about 1 million subscribers a month.

- Nokia Life Tools is providing people in India and Indonesia with agricultural information, educational services and entertainment. In less than a year, it has attracted more than 1.5 million paying subscribers, and Kallasvuo announced the service will soon be extended to China.

Kallasvuo said the rapidly growing demand for applications, games and other mobile content is no longer just a Western phenomenon. "It's a global trend that plays to one of Nokia's strengths, our global presence," he said.

Kallasvuo cited the success of a Finnish company, Offscreen Technologies, which makes a variety of mobile applications. People from virtually every country in the world have downloaded Offscreen's apps with Nokia devices more than 25 million times.

In reviewing Nokia's performance in 2009, Kallasvuo noted that the company sold 432 million devices worldwide - more than its top three competitors combined. 2009 marked Nokia's 12th consecutive year as the world's largest manufacturer of mobile devices.

But 2009, Kallasvuo noted, was a difficult year, due to a weak global economy. "The recession coincided with our transformation, as well as changes in our device portfolio. With all these factors together, it resulted in a decrease in operating profit and earnings per share, compared with 2008. Despite the challenging conditions, Nokia continued to maintain strict controls on costs and has maintained a solid financial position," Kallasvuo said.

This year, Nokia is planning to introduce a new generation of devices that is expected to help close the gap with the competition in high-end smartphones, Kallasvuo said.

"Our approach has been to concentrate on fewer, competitive products that bring the features of Symbian-based smartphones to more and more people around the world. And we are well on our way to doing that."

In addition, Nokia is continuously improving the experience and value of Ovi services that are tightly integrated with its devices, creating reasons for people to start using them and to come back again and again.

Kallasvuo expressed optimism about the MeeGo software platform, which will be used for Nokia's next mobile computer.

"We are working hard to reclaim leadership in high-end smartphones and mobile computers." he said. "It is critical that we improve the customer experience with the usability of both our devices and our services."

Really, really lost Tweet

"What will happen to you if you don't have free SatNav on your Nokia phone?

At Nokia, we always start with the human problem, and only then look to find the resolution through technology. Here, it was a simple observation, but one which bothered us nonetheless: how in 2010 are people still getting lost?

And the answer is actually in your pocket.

Our Nokia smartphones are all GPS-enabled, the equivalent of a top-of-the-range SatNav. From this day on, Nokia is giving away SatNav for free on all Nokia smartphonesits free and its for everyone. Forever. Because Nokia believes that everyone should be free to get to the people and places they love.

May everyone everywhere find their way."
