MOT & Vodafone> Motorola mobile deals Electronics Times [ Motorola ] 's UK infrastructure operation has struck deals with two of the UK's competing mobile communications groups, Vodafone and Cellnet, to develop Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and the GSM-based General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technologies, respectively. Both deals were announced in Cannes, where UMTS and GPRS were at the forefront of discussions as global mobile groups sought and promoted solutions to boost revenues with data and Internet-based services. The Vodafone deal is based around the operator's use of Motorola's static system simulator for its recently announced third-generation wideband CDMA network deployment trials. It will also provide subscriber terminals for the Pathfinder project in Newbury. The $50m Cellnet deal has been struck by the Motorola Network Solutions Sector (MNSS) business to introduce GPRS across the Cellnet network, and includes the implementation of a core wireless data capability. Adrian Nemcek, general manager of MNSSs' customer solutions group, says the deals indicate Motorola's commitment to GPRS as the next step to 3G mobile comms. (Copyright 1999)
