- Company to deliver full range of OMA-compliant PoC solutions to
promote increased interoperability and adoption worldwide

Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced that it will support
the new Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) standard recently released
by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) -- PoC 1.0 and XDM 1.0 -- on its
PoC-capable device portfolio and network solutions. By implementing
these new OMA PoC enablers, Motorola will be able to offer more open
and interoperable end-to-end PoC solutions to operator customers,
provide consumers with an even greater seamless experience, and help
drive overall PoC adoption worldwide.

The new OMA PoC enablers will offer a variety of benefits to users
of compliant handsets and services. OMA PoC 1.0, a multi-party form
of immediate communication, allows mobile phone users to engage in
walkie-talkie style one-to-one and group conversations. OMA PoC 1.0
cooperates mainly with two other Enabler Release specifications --
OMA XDM Document Management Enabler 1.0 (OMA XDM 1.0) and OMA
Presence Enabler 1.0. These enablers give users the ability to group
communities of friends or colleagues for one-to-one and one-to-many
conversations, and also to see their presence for availability. The
presence feature, which Motorola will also support when it becomes
ratified, allows end users to reflect their availability and
preferred mode of interaction.

Motorola's many PoC-capable handsets currently deployed across
markets worldwide -- such as the super-thin SLVR -- are designed to
be forward compatible and support the OMA feature for carriers that
utilize the Motorola server solution. In addition, Motorola will
begin to deliver new OMA PoC compliant devices that will support the
PoC, XDM and presence features and will work seamlessly with all OMA
PoC network implementations.

"The OMA standard ratification marks the beginning of a new
chapter in the evolution of push-to-talk over cellular by giving
consumers the ability to 'push-to' friends, family and colleagues
regardless of which carrier they subscribe to," said Peter Neary,
Director, Global PoC Handsets, Motorola Mobile Devices. "This kind of
access was key to driving the success of SMS over the last few years
and we believe it will do the same for PoC. As a leader in PoC
solutions and a key contributor to the OMA test specification, we're
excited to be at the forefront of driving PoC adoption through
greater interoperability."

Motorola played an integral role in defining the technical enabler
test specifications for the OMA PoC standards -- in addition to
taking a lead position in defining the OMA Test Fest environments and
networking configuration requirements. "Adopting the new OMA
standards is a continuation of Motorola's commitment to open
standards and to our customers," added Neary.
