Already, BellSouth International is making the decision to overlay CDMA-based 1XRTT technology over its existing TDMA networks in Latin America. Do you perchance have any confirmation that BellSouth International or Cingular have made a contractual commitment to do such an overlay? Don't know if this was an overlay... Caxton ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., Sept. 13, 2000 -- Motorola, Inc.'s Global Telecom Solutions Sector (GTSS) has been awarded a $20 million commercial contract to provide Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) to wireless network subscribers in Uruguay. Motorola will deploy its 3G capable base stations in conjunction with South American cellular provider Movicom BellSouth Uruguay. The system is the first Personal Communication Services (PCS) CDMA cellular network available to customers in Uruguay. The network will cover the area between the capital city of Montevideo and Punta del Este on the South American coast. "We are very pleased to bring the very first CDMA system to Uruguay," said Jose Figueroa, vice president and general manager of the Latin America and Caribbean Region for Motorola's GTSS. "Bringing the vast array of CDMA customer solutions, such as wireless Internet access to a completely new country, gives us great pride as we improve the communication standards in South America." Uruguay follows Argentina as the second South American country in which Motorola and Movicom BellSouth have installed a PCS CDMA system. Forty radio frequency (RF) sites are fully operational, using SC(TM)4812T technology. The network, installed in record time, went commercial on Aug. 4. It is one of the most modern networks in the region, according to Figueroa. CONTACT: Motorola NSS Pubic Relations \| Roderick Kelly \| 847/632-6730 \| Rkelly1@email.mot.com
