Motorola wins China cellular contracts ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., Feb 9 (Reuters) - Motorola Inc said Monday its Cellular Infrastructure Group (CIG) has been awarded two contracts totaling $13 million to provide communications services in China. One contract will replace the existing digital cellular Global System for Mobile (GSM) Communications network and another will expand the analog Total Access Communications System (TACS) network in China's Shanxi Province. The Shanxi Posts and Telecommunications Administration will install Motorola CIG's M-Cell base station equipment to upgrade and reconfigure its existing GSM network in Taiyuan city . After the GSM replacement projects have been completed by mid-1998, the overall GSM capacity in Shanxi will increase to 350,000 subscribers from the current total of 70,000. In addition, Motorola CIG will install city-wide enhanced networking equipment and add new base stations to increase Taiyuan's analog TACS network capacity to 44,000 subscribers from the current 30,000.

OT..OT..OT >...introduce him to the Extreme Sport of Tree Skiing?... the SI thread will throw in a Q phone so you can stay in touch...< Funny you should mention that, Mike. I was somewhat reluctantly dragged up to a double black diamond ballbuster that basically consisted of a cliff populated by about a million christmas trees. When we got off the top-most lift on the mountain, the maniac leading this charge pointed uphill at a cluster of communications gear perched a couple hundred vertical feet above us and indicated we would be hiking up the rest of the way. This elicited a few choice comments from yours truly, but nothing to match the stream of invective that I reserved for him when I saw what we would be er... skiing down. As I jumped off into the abyss the last thought I had was "shoot, I sure wish I brought my Q-phone. One of those dishes has got to be Sprint PCS" Trust me, the sphincter got plenty of exercise on that particular run. -JLF
