Motorola's Latest Wireless Messaging System (WMS)
High Speed FLEX(TM) Multi-Frequency Roaming Protocol
Paging Infrastructure
Motorola's Asia-Pacific Paging Networks Division today announced that China Telecom
has commercially launched a nationwide paging roaming service in the twenty-two cities of
which Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Shenyang, Changchun, Hangzhou, Hefei, Nanning,
Changsha, Nanchang and Xian are deploying Motorola's Wireless Messaging System
(WMS) paging infrastructure.
China Telecom's 198/199 nationwide paging network was officially launched on Oct. 1
during China's 48th National Day. The eleven cities make use of Motorola's latest
state-of-the-art paging infrastructure system architecture, the Wireless Messaging System
(WMS). It includes the Wireless Message Gateway(TM) paging terminal, one of the highest
processing capabilities in the industry; the RF Conductor(TM) the high capacity paging
network controller; and Nucleus(R) paging transmitters with RF-Baton!(TM) network
interface. The complete system provides all the advanced messaging features that are
required by the China market. In addition, Motorola was the first to be awarded another
provincial wide US$8 million dollar FLEX(TM) protocol-based Multi-Frequency Network
contract in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, supported by Motorola's Wireless
Messaging Systems, after China Telecom's original 22 cities. The performance and reliability
of WMS clearly differentiates Motorola's paging infrastructure from the rest. With this setup,
China has become one of the most advanced paging operators in the world, offering
Multi-Frequency FLEX protocol-based Roaming services.
Motorola's paging system employs the Inter-switch Paging Networks Protocol (IPNP)
defined by China Telecom to support Multi-Frequency Roaming. The advanced network
provided by Motorola not only provides state-of-the-art performance for the new
Multi-Frequency Roaming Technology in China, but assures customers that the network will
be capable of providing other value-added informational services, two-way paging and
voice paging in the future.
"We congratulate China Telecom's launch of its 198,199 Nation Wide Paging Network.
And we thank China Telecom for choosing Motorola's WMS in its eleven important
provincial cities. We will continue to provide a total solution approach with our dedicated
local engineering services and assist China Telecom in bringing in the latest and most
advanced paging services to the country," said Mr. Jeff Dryjanski, Vice President and
General Manager of Motorola's Asia Pacific Paging Networks Division (APPND).
The FLEX protocol is the de facto standard for high-speed paging and has been adopted
by 16 of the top 20 U.S. service providers, as well as by market-leading providers in Asia,
Canada, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, representing 70 percent of the world's
largest paging markets. Motorola's new paging products are based on its FLEX protocol.
Motorola is a leading worldwide provider of wireless communications, semiconductors, and
advanced electronics systems and services. Major equipment businesses include: paging and
data communications; cellular telephones; two-way radios; personal communications;
automotive, defense and space electronics; and computers. Communications devices,
computers and millions of consumer products are powered by Motorola semiconductors.
Motorola's sales in 1996 were US$28 billion.
