www.Ring-Tones.co.za: Motorola, Inc. announced today that it is the first major cell phone manufacturer to redesign all its mobile phone and accessory chargers (external power supplies) to be ENERGY STAR-qualified. ENERGY STAR is designed to help consumers identify energy-efficient products which meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Energy (DOE).

Climate change is widely recognized as one of the greatest challenges facing the world today, and Motorola is doing its part to help protect the environment and spur innovative solutions such as ENERGY STAR-qualified power supplies.

"EPA salutes Motorola's leadership as the first company to ensure all of the power adapters in their phone chargers earn the ENERGY STAR," said Bill Wehrum, Acting EPA Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation. "By being more energy efficient, ENERGY STAR-qualified adapters reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution associated with the generation of electricity."

According to EPA, if every phone sold in the U.S. this year used an ENERGY STAR qualified adapter in its charger, the energy saved could light 760,000 homes for a year. In addition, it would prevent well over 1 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent emissions of more than 200,000 cars.

"At Motorola, we realize the importance of helping to protect the environment," said Greg Estell, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, MobileME, Motorola, Inc. "As a leading provider of consumer electronic products to millions of American homes, Motorola is dedicated to providing solutions, like ENERGY STAR-qualified chargers, that help improve the everyday lives of consumers."

The ENERGY STAR logo will be incorporated on the packaging of Motorola's aftermarket wall-charging solutions so consumers can easily identify energy efficient products.

www.Ring-Tones.co.za: Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) has expanded the capabilities of its state-of-the-art, centralized Network Operations Center (NOC) and Security Operations Center (SOC) to offer managed services such as remote monitoring and diagnostics for private and public wireless networks, including cellular and wireless broadband systems. These expanded capabilities ensure continuous performance and stability monitoring, immediate event detection and troubleshooting, and technical dispatch services across multiple types of networks.

Historically, Motorola has offered monitoring services for private radio system customers such as municipalities, enterprises and public safety agencies. In 2006, Motorola enhanced its monitoring process and implemented a software solution to manage events for private and public networks, known in the industry as a correlation engine. This new solution provides end-to-end service visibility to rapidly expose and resolve network and security issues. Technologists were required to participate in a six-month training program to help them become experts in detecting, characterizing and responding to issues identified by the correlation engine.

"Motorola's Network and Security Monitoring services are backed by a set of industry standards designed to assure superior service delivery across key measures in system reliability, routine maintenance, rapid response and restoration," said David Jones, vice president, Global Services Delivery, Motorola Networks & Enterprise. "In 2005, Motorola's NOC achieved TL9000 certification to ensure the highest level of quality system management. Likewise, our SOC is on track to achieve certification by mid-year. Today, more than 600 global customers benefit from our NOC/SOC operations."

One of those customers is Cobb County Department of Public Safety, Georgia, which is managed by Tracy Roberts, radio system manager for Cobb County. Roberts oversees the County's newly installed digital 800 MHz public safety communications system that serves 2600 county and municipal subscribers across 345 square miles. Roberts is an advocate of Motorola's real-time monitoring services for Cobb County's integrated ASTRO trunked voice and data network.

"Before contracting with Motorola's NOC, we responded to network issues as they occurred and basically operated in a break-fix mode," said Roberts. "With real-time monitoring services, potential problems are identified quickly before they adversely impact the network or the users of the network. It is a critical management tool that helps maximize system uptime and provides immediate awareness of network problems enabling managers like me to enhance our resolution tactics."

Co-housed within its NOC, Motorola offers a best of breed Security Operations Center, providing 24x7 security monitoring services. Aided by leading correlation and visualization tools, Motorola's SOC technologists keep a proactive eye on customers' networks -- as well as Motorola's -- to quickly detect and characterize suspicious and malicious activity and respond intelligently. Early detection and rapid characterization are key to identifying and responding to trouble before users and vital services are impacted -- critically important to global companies like Motorola.

Motorola manages its own IT security operations in-house, monitoring more than 69 locations globally. Due to the enormous investment in cost, most companies don't manage their own security, according to Jones, they outsource it.

"Our capabilities and expertise demonstrate our ability to scale and provide high performance monitoring to customers on a global basis," he said.

www.Ring-Tones.co.za: Ce De Candy Inc., manufacturer and distributor of SMARTIES(R), the classic sugar candy line, has implemented an enterprise mobility solution to meet the FDA's new Food Bioterrorism regulation while also increasing the efficiency and accuracy of manufacturing processes throughout its supply chain and warehouse.

The FDA regulation required that food manufacturers maintain records that allow complete traceability for all raw goods and manufactured products by June 2006. To meet the critical mandate, Ce De implemented a mobility solution consisting of the Motorola MC9000 rugged mobile computer running PTS's TracerPlus software, as well as the Motorola WS5100 Wireless Switch, AP300 Access Ports and the ES3000 with Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch. The solution was configured to existing processes at Ce De Candy within one week, with full deployment being finalized within the following four weeks.

"We needed a solution that would allow us to comply with the FDA mandate, but at the same time, not disrupt the manufacturing processes we already had in place," said Rick DePinto, IT manager for Ce De Candy. "The Motorola/PTS enterprise mobility solution met our firm timing and budget requirements, increased our productivity, and improved data quality and process efficiencies, while providing the superior ruggedness that is essential in our warehouse environment."

The Motorola MC9000 is used to scan raw materials received from vendors and placed into inventory in the Ce De warehouse -- each material is immediately assigned a raw material lot number which will eventually be connected to a finished good and its finished goods lot number, as per the Food Bioterrorism regulation. The finished goods lot number will be used for tracking through the pick and pack process and until finished goods are shipped out against a customer order.

"Motorola's manufacturing solutions play a vital role in improving the operations of organizations," said Kevin Prouty, senior director of manufacturing solutions, Motorola Networks & Enterprise.

www.Ring-Tones.co.za: Sony Ericsson today announces the launch of Night Tennis Miami, a revolutionary new concept that combines a tennis tournament, the world’s best DJ acts and a UV fashion feast – all in the dark. Paul Oakenfold, Masters at Work and Murk will be taking to the decks and promise to rock Miami on the 22nd and 23rd March 2007.

Night Tennis is part of Sony Ericsson’s sponsored entertainment, competitions and events programme running during the week of the Sony Ericsson Open (21st March – 1st April). This is the second Night Tennis event, the first premiered in Madrid during the Sony Ericsson Championships, November 2006.

Eight players will take to the court wearing specially designed neon whites to serve up a new type of tennis. Played in pitch black, with UV as the only source of light, its fast paced round robin format promises to revolutionise the way tennis is played and watched.

Night Tennis will provide clubbers with a sensory extravaganza like no other. Each tennis game is punctuated by explosive beats and an incredible light show, delivered to the audience on a unique 25m projection screen. The balls, court and net along with player’s shirts, skirts and shoes will be fully UV reactive. In between games a fashion extravaganza will showcase the latest in illuminated style.

As each tournament draws to a close and the adrenaline starts to drop away, Murk will warm up the crowd up with their Miami Classics Set. On the Thursday night, Masters at Work will follow, playing their legendary New York Classics Set and Friday night will see legendary DJ Paul Oakenfold take the crowd dancing long into the night with his Classics Set.

Paul Oakenfold is a pioneer of the dance music scene and likes to be ahead of the game. He is therefore looking forward to performing at Night Tennis; “I’m very intrigued by the whole Night Tennis concept - who would have expected sport and electronic culture to combine in this way? The opportunity to play a rare set of classics at the Winter Music Conference is something that is a challenge as well as being a real night of nostalgia for me and the people of Miami.”

Louie Vega from Masters At Work says, ‘We are delighted to be invited to play at this unique event during the Miami conference week. To play a night of complete classics for the Miami week will be very special for us’.

Dee Dutta, CVP and Head of Marketing for Sony Ericsson explains, “Sony Ericsson is really excited to be staging Night Tennis at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami. Our aim is to create a party experience that young people in the city can enjoy, bringing them closer to the excitement and power of the stadium tennis being played by some of the world’s most famous sports stars. It’s brilliant to have DJs like Paul Oakenfold and Masters at Work onboard for Night Tennis. We’re looking forward to a truly spectacular event.

Our partnership with the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour is the largest and most innovative in the history of the sport. We are making the game more fan friendly, interactive and exciting through music and technology – live bands at events, live scoring and enhanced content to mobile phones.

The Sony Ericsson Open will be held at the Tennis Centre at Crandon Park, Miami, Florida from March 21 - April 1, 2007. It boasts the strongest full-field of players from both the ATP and Sony Ericsson WTA Tour outside the Grand Slams. 96 men and 96 women in the singles and 32 men's teams and 32 women's teams in the doubles will vie for over $6.9 million in prize money. Defending champions are Roger Federer in the men’s singles, Svetlana Kuznetsova in the women’s singles, Jonas Bjorkman/Max Mirnyi in the men’s doubles and Lisa Raymond/Samantha Stosur in the women’s doubles.

www.Ring-Tones.co.za: Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced it is initiating a new open source project to develop a complete high availability operating environment based on Service Availability Forum(TM) (SA Forum) standards. The objective of the new "OpenSAF" project is to accelerate broad adoption of an SA Forum compliant operating environment.

The goals of the OpenSAF project are to:

• Create an open source implementation of a high availability operating environment which includes the SA Forum Application Interface Specification (AIS)
• Develop necessary additional complementary services necessary to deploy and manage the software
• Accelerate the development of SA Forum specifications by proposing enhancements implemented in the OpenSAF project
• Establish a broadly adopted high availability operating environment that can be leveraged by computing technology companies, NEPs, and other industries requiring high availability, and ISVs -- Utilize an open source licensing model not tied to any commercial implementation

With this approach, network equipment providers (NEPs) will be able to leverage the implementation of a deployed high availability software platform with the knowledge that enhancements will be proposed to the SA Forum for inclusion in future open specifications. NEPs also will be able to help service providers lower operating costs by using a common software platform across multiple types of equipment. Common predictive actions and common provisioning and monitoring interfaces will help reduce training and specialization, enabling service providers to use their resources more flexibly, efficiently and productively.

Many NEPs have endorsed the concept of the OpenSAF initiative, including Ericsson (Nasdaq: ERIC), Motorola's Networks and Enterprise business, Nokia (NYSE: NOK), Nortel (NYSE: NT), OKI (TYO: 6703), and Siemens Networks.

Several providers of computing and communications technology also have indicated support for the OpenSAF initiative including Interphase (Nasdaq: INPH), MontaVista Software, Inc., and Wind River (Nasdaq: WIND).

Both Motorola and Ericsson will contribute resources from the beginning of the initiative to enhance the open source product and accelerate the development and deployment of SA Forum specifications based on industry requirements. Motorola initially will contribute its NetPlane(R) Core Service (NCS) software to the OpenSAF project. NCS is a complete operating environment that includes SA Forum services and a complementary set of required services necessary for a deployable implementation.

Hakan Eriksson, chief technology officer, Ericsson: "Ericsson is a strong supporter of initiatives such as OpenSAF. By focusing on reference implementations for established standards, we believe that OpenSAF can both accelerate the development and improve the quality of future specifications."

Asif Naseem, president of SA Forum: "The SA Forum's HPI specification is already delivering benefits as a widely adopted industry standard. The OpenSAF project will help repeat that success with the SA Forum AIS specification, extending those benefits to all developers of platforms that require 5NINES availability. Customer adoption of the AIS implementation depends on real world implementations of the standard, and Motorola's implementation contributes to the ongoing success of SA Forum."

Stephen Dow, vice president and general manager, Embedded Communications Computing, Motorola, Inc: "Feedback from our NEP customers has prompted us to undertake this initiative as an open source project can leverage development resources throughout the industry. This can lead to more rapid development of a fully featured deployable reference implementation of SA Forum compliant high availability software for a wide range of platforms."

Magnus Karlson, chairman of the board, SCOPE Alliance: "The OpenSAF project is consistent with the SCOPE Alliance goal of promoting and enabling an ecosystem of both suppliers and consumers of COTS building blocks based on open source and open interface specifications. SCOPE views implementations like OpenSAF as important test beds for standardization enhancements, and mechanisms for accelerating the adoption of new features for COTS building blocks."

Ken Klein, chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president at Wind River: "Collaborative, open source development plays a significant role in Wind River's device software optimization strategy and we welcome the opportunity to actively participate in the OpenSAF initiative. We believe this effort will result in a reliable, feature-rich high-availability framework for our networks customers. We are committed to including support for OpenSAF in Wind River(R) Workbench, our industry-leading comprehensive set of device software development tools, thus providing customers a common development environment across multiple software development projects."

Jorge Magalhaes, director of marketing, Embedded Communications Computing, Motorola, Inc.: "We will transition our Avantellis(TM) series communications servers to utilize OpenSAF. This will make a pre-integrated and validated ATCA based computing platform available to the market shortly after the first release of the open source code."

Tom Kelly, Chairman & CEO, MontaVista Software: "As a long time contributor to the OpenAIS open source work, MontaVista is excited to support the OpenSAF initiative. Combined with ATCA based hardware and a Carrier Grade Linux operating system, OpenSAF provides a key high-availability component to complete a full carrier grade commercial-off-the-shelf solution. MontaVista will include support of OpenSAF in our MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition and our DevRocket development tool suite."

The first release of the open source code base will be made available by end of 2nd quarter on the OpenSAF Web site ( http://www.OpenSAF.org ).
