LU-New Product> THE INDEPENDENT SOURCE FOR WIRELESS INDUSTRY NEWS February 11, 1999 February 11, 1999 Lucent, TeleComm. Systems offer SMS solution MURRAY HILL, N.J.—Lucent Technologies Inc. and TeleCommunication Systems Inc. introduced a short message service solution they said allows mobile phone users of a common network to send text messages to each other and receive message-receipt acknowledgements. Called Mobile Originated Short Message Service, the solution allows for two kinds of message acknowledgements. Delivery Acknowledgement notifies the sender that the message was delivered and opened successfully. The User/Manual Acknowledgement prompts the user to respond to questions from the sender in a multiple choice format. For example, the question ‘‘What do you want to do tonight?'' could have three possible responses: 1) stay in 2) see a movie 3) go to dinner. The solution supports Time Division Multiple Access technology and is expected to work on Code Division Multiple Access technology in the third quarter. The company hopes to extend the service to allow mobile users to send messages to Internet users as well.

Iridium Problem?. Posted 11/02/99 5:34pm by Mike Magee No Iridium phones shipped in UK yet An Iridium representative in the UK confirmed today that no single satellite phone has yet shipped in the United Kingdom. We don't know how many have been sold in greater Europe also. And it could be quite a while before the sales ramp up from zero to one. The representative said Iridium hoped to make an announcement next week. The satellite phones are manufactured by Iridium's partners, Motorola and Kyocera, and distributed by Brightpoint throughout the world. Questions still remain about quality, according to source close to both Iridium and Kyocera. He said: "Iridium is doing hardware and software updates at least three times a day. The problem is the equivalent of the Doppler effect." By that he meant that the number of Iridium satellites hanging over our planet could not necessarily pass on the correct messages one way without a similar message bouncing back from the next satellite on. ®
