Motorola and Cox Break World Record in Data Transmission Rates
Multiple records set; demonstrates potential for greater bandwidth efficiency and additional revenue opportunities for broadband operators.
ATLANTA-CableLabs Winter Conference � Motorola Mobility Inc. (NYSE: MMI) announced the achievement of a new world record for return path data transmission by using breakthrough technology from Motorola on Cox Communications� Las Vegas network infrastructure.
Using the ultra low noise, high performance Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 RX48 return path receiver module operating within a Motorola BSR 64000 CMTS Edge Router, the record of 356 Mbps for a 5-85 MHz return path was set by transmitting across twelve return path channels of which six channels employed 256QAM modulation. Typical HFC networks today have two or three upstream channels delivering an aggregate of 40-70 Mbps.
�The RX48 and these tests demonstrate that Cox�s HFC networks are much more future proof than many have believed,� Jay Rolls, senior vice president of technology, Cox Communications. �We also increasingly need to be able to segment our business and residential customers, visibility into which is provided by the 5-85 MHz return spectrum utilizing 256QAM. Our networks have the capability to support much higher data speeds than today without the need to replace any of the amplifiers, taps or cables.�
The test demonstrates how broadband operators can support more customers and more broadband rich services over existing networks, removing the need for inconvenient and costly new network construction. The new record also shows how the Motorola BSR 64000 CMTS Edge Router, with the RX48 can help lower the overall cost of DOCSIS for cable operators, while simultaneously opening new opportunities for business revenues.
In addition to establishing the world record at 5-85 MHz, a maximum transmission rate of 141 Mbps was also achieved over a 5-42 MHz return path using six return path channels. Three of these channels were able to operate using 256 QAM modulation, as opposed to 64 QAM maximum in use today, which is also believed to be a record. For the first time, cable operators can use the 5-42 return path to provide 100 Mbps dedicated to business customers and simultaneously provide residential customers with the return path bandwidth necessary to meet their growing needs.
All tests were conducted across Cox�s Las Vegas hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) network employing multiple DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 2.0 modems. It feeds a three amplifier cascade followed by an HFC optical link consisting of a standard Motorola DFB return path laser transmitting over 7 dB of fiber to the optical receiver. The output of this receiver was linked to the RX48 card in the BSR 64000. Measurements were made in accordance with standard cable industry practices. At the CableLabs conference, Motorola and Cox demonstrated the new record of 400 Mbps on a 5-85 MHz return path, which broke the previous record of 356Mbps
�We are very pleased to show the results of Motorola Mobility�s investment in DOCSIS 3.0 innovation,� said Joe Cozzolino, senior vice president and general manager, network infrastructure, Motorola Mobility. �The RX48 has clearly demonstrated that we are moving once again to a position of CMTS leadership. We are grateful to Cox for jointly working with us to demonstrate the continued great future of HFC networks and proving our belief in this breakthrough technology.�
About the RX48:
The RX48 provides between 33% and 50% higher data rates possible in the return path than previously possible based on its low noise receiver and hardware based DOCSIS 3.0 channel bonding capabilities. For example, with a 5-42 MHz return path connected to the RX48, it will be possible for the first time for cable operators to support 100 Mbps dedicated for business services in only three bonded return path channels instead of four, leaving three return path channels available for residential data services, all supported using only a single RX48 port in the CMTS.

HBO Latin America Selects Motorola Mobility�s Technology for All MPEG-4 Programming Distribution
Transition to all MPEG-4 will optimize bandwidth utilization, readying the network for delivery of more high definition services
HORSHAM, Pa. � Motorola Mobility Inc. (NYSE: MMI) announced that Home Box Office (HBO) Latin America will upgrade its satellite network using MPEG-4 video encoding and DVB-S2 8PSK advanced modulation to launch all MPEG-4 programming. The solution compresses, encrypts, modulates, and receives the high definition (HD) signals within a single integrated transmission system to allow HBO Latin America to expand its HD offerings to subscribers. It also features many distribution system enhancements developed collaboratively between HBO Latin America and Motorola.
HBO Latin America will utilize Motorola�s SE-5100 encoder to process HD video content and convert it to MPEG-4 format for distribution via satellite to affiliates. At the affiliates� downlink sites, the content will be received and processed real-time with Motorola's new DSR-4460 digital satellite receivers and DSR-6300 multi-channel integrated receiver/transcoders (IRDs) as part of the consolidated network-wide upgrade to MPEG-4 and, eventually, all-HD service distribution.
�Motorola�s advanced digital distribution solution leverages bandwidth efficient compression and modulation techniques to address the unique needs and challenging demands of HBO Latin America�s customer base,� said Jorge Duron, vice president and general manager, Latin America, Motorola Mobility. �It is the most advanced digital delivery system ever deployed in the region, yet remains very economical due to the advanced technologies that HBO Latin America developed in close cooperation with Motorola and have applied to their network.�
�Demand for high definition programing continues to grow in Latin America and Motorola�s commitment to the advancement of digital distribution will enable us to not only address our immediate network needs, but allow us to sustain our HD growth momentum long-term,� said Emilio Otermin, vice president of operations and engineering, HBO Latin America. �Working closely with Motorola, we designed an advanced digital distribution system to meet our unique needs and those of our affiliates.�
HBO Latin America will use Motorola�s uplink control system to execute a well-designed technology transition strategy.

Motorola Mobility and Orange UK Announce Motorola ATRIX�, the Future of Mobile Computing
The world�s most powerful smartphone packs the power and capabilities of a PC in your pocket through Motorola�s revolutionary webtop application
Basingstoke, U.K. � Motorola Mobility, Inc. (NYSE: MMI), and Orange UK announced Motorola ATRIX�, which unleashes the power of the smartphone like never before. Motorola�s revolutionary webtop application makes Motorola ATRIX the only smartphone to carry the power of mobile computing inside your pocket. Designed to bring unprecedented computing capabilities to your smartphone, Motorola�s webtop application runs a full Mozilla Firefox 3.6 browser and supports Adobe� Flash� Player to open up all the rich graphics, animations and video on the web. Motorola ATRIX includes a dual core processor with each core running at 1 GHz, delivering up to two GHz of processing power, and 1 GB of RAM. Put simply, Motorola ATRIX is the world�s most powerful smartphone.
�We want to empower individuals, giving them new ways to stay connected, informed and entertained at home, on the job and anywhere in between,� said Andrew Morley, vice president of marketing for Motorola Mobility, EMARA. �We are finding that consumers are increasingly using smartphones as their primary digital screens. Motorola ATRIX ushers in a new era in mobile computing and has the power to deliver on its promise to empower individuals as it comes loaded with the Motorola webtop application, which enables consumers to enhance the capabilities of their smartphones and simultaneously reduce their need for additional mobile computing screens.�
�We are proud to be the UK launch partner for Motorola ATRIX, a ground-breaking product that delivers on our ongoing commitment to offer customers the latest multimedia devices,� said Phil Roberson, director of Devices, Everything Everywhere, the company that runs Orange UK. �Motorola ATRIX offers our customers a new and exciting way to stay in touch with the people who matter the most to them.�
Motorola ATRIX is designed to essentially become a user�s primary digital hub to create, edit and enjoy documents, media and content. This is facilitated by Motorola�s webtop application and by the optional Motorola HD Multimedia Dock and Motorola Laptop Dock that provide users with a larger screen, keyboard and trackpad � enabling an enhanced and more interactive experience with their devices.
While in webtop, users are given a window into the smartphone that enables access to all of the device�s functionality within Android. Calls continue uninterrupted if Motorola ATRIX is removed from a dock. Plus, the new Entertainment Centre feature lets you show all of the photos, music and videos you already enjoy on-the-go on a big screen in your living room.
Motorola ATRIX provides consumers with instantaneous access to all their emails, files and media. While using the webtop application, business customers will benefit from the Citrix Receiver application for complete access to commercial desktop-licensed software. In addition to the full suite of office productivity and email applications, users can also access a great number of web applications such as Salesforce.com, Google Docs, and any HTML application or service from a full desktop browser.
Motorola ATRIX runs Android� 2.2 with access to more than 100,000 apps and games in the Android Market�.

The Motorola HD Multimedia Dock as three USB ports and an HDMI port enabling connections to a keyboard, mouse, speakers and HDMI-compatible monitor for working at your desk, or connecting to an HDMI-compatible television and home theater audio system for enjoying video, music, games and more.
The Motorola Laptop Dock has an incredibly thin design with an 11.6-inch screen, 36Wh three-cell battery that delivers up to eight hours of battery life, full keyboard, stereo speakers, and weighs just 1.1 kilograms. Users simply dock their Motorola ATRIX into the back for true mobility at work, at home and playing on the go in a form factor that�s lighter and smaller than most laptops on the market.
Key features and specifications:
A dual core processor capable of opening web pages twice as fast as most other smartphones, rendering games faster and displaying HD video on big-screen TVs
A full 1 GB of RAM for twice the RAM of most smartphones to deliver effortless multi-tasking, such as watching a movie while receiving and responding to email
The world�s first qHD display for a smartphone, offering high resolution and 24-bit color, making it easier to read indoors and outdoors
Front- and rear-facing cameras for video chat and the ability to record in HD

LAS VEGAS and BASKING RIDGE, N.J- CES-� From the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), 4Home Connected Solutions, a division of Motorola Mobility, Inc., announced connected home services that leverage the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network. Real-time remote monitoring and control of consumers� homes and their energy consumption will be possible using select smartphones. This collaboration between 4Home and Verizon Wireless will be showcased during CES at the Verizon Wireless booth.
�4Home has been working with Verizon Wireless and the LTE Innovation Center for more than a year to develop these second-generation connected home services for LTE,� said Jeff Crews, director of business development at 4Home. �Offering these kinds of value-added services over LTE only enhances the customer experience. Homeowners can enjoy faster response times and real-time, high-quality video streaming when viewing their homes from Verizon Wireless LTE-enabled handsets.�
Overview of Connected Home Services and LTE
Connected home services are a new generation of consumer services that allow users to remotely monitor and control the connected devices in their homes, individually and as a system. The services currently include energy management, home security and monitoring, home health, and media management. The 4G LTE network allows these services to be offered on compatible phones, further enhancing the mobile experience.
�Verizon Wireless� ongoing work with 4Home through the Innovation Center is a great example of how a collaborative approach will result in consumer- and business-friendly solutions,� said Brian Higgins, executive director, LTE ecosystem development at Verizon Wireless. �Connected home services are made better by the power and capabilities of our 4G LTE network.�
Verizon Wireless� 4G LTE network is the fastest, most advanced 4G mobile network in the United States, providing speeds up to 10 times faster than its 3G network. In addition, the company is turning on its 4G LTE network at more than 60 commercial airports, most within the 38 initial market launch areas and some outside those areas, for added convenience for road warriors. The company�s 4G LTE network ultimately will connect a full range of electronic devices and machines to each other.
�We continue to see more leading service providers entering the connected home market,� said Bill Ablondi, director of home systems research at Parks Associates. �Not only is this suite of services an ideal extension of service providers� current offerings; our research shows that consumers desire to be connected to their homes as well as other people. It looks like 2011 will be the year the smartphone becomes the next generation of universal remote controller.�
