Motorola extends leadership in optimizing cable networks for high bandwidth video and data services

HORSHAM, Pa., May 12, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT)
today announced that it has achieved DOCSIS(R) 3.0 certification for the
Motorola SURFboard(R) SB6120 and SBV6220 cable modems and DOCSIS 3.0 bronze
qualification for the Motorola BSR 64000 cable modem termination system
(CMTS)/edge router. The suite of customer premises equipment (CPE) and headend
solution products successfully completed feature testing as part of the
CableLabs(R) Certification Wave 58, based on the DOCSIS 3.0 CableLabs Project
specification.

DOCSIS 3.0-based technology, including downstream channel bonding and
IPv6, has been integrated into Motorola's SURFboard CPE and CMTS to help cable
operators offer whole-home, high-bandwidth media services. The Motorola
SURFboard SB6120 and SBV6220 modems support DOCSIS 3.0 data functionality and
are backwards compatible with DOCSIS 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 standards, allowing
operators to deploy them today even ahead of an infrastructure upgrade to
enable new advanced services.

In response to the explosion of consumer video applications, cable
operators are looking to optimize their networks by delivering DOCSIS 3.0
technologies at the headend and in subscribers' homes. Motorola CMTS and
cable modems are being used in successful end-to-end channel bonding
deployments worldwide. Motorola enabled the world's first commercial channel
bonding deployment through Starhub in Singapore, supports the first full-field
deployment of DOCSIS 3.0 services for J:COM in Japan and delivers 100 Mbps
high-speed data service to subscribers for Korea's largest cable operators.

"Motorola has been a leader in DOCSIS technology from day one, working to
provide innovative solutions that interoperate with equipment throughout our
customers' networks," said Alan Lefkof, corporate vice president and general
manager, Motorola Broadband Solutions Group. "In addition to our cable modem
certification and CMTS qualification, we offer customers the full knowledge of
field experience in DOCSIS 3.0 implementations, complimented with our
expertise in carrier-grade network and device management. We are committed to
integrating bandwidth-expanding technologies into all of our SURFboard cable
and digital voice modems, gateways and CMTS platform as well as to developing
technologies and revolutionary architectures beyond DOCSIS 3.0."

"The DOCSIS 3.0 specification establishes ways for cable companies to tie
multiple 6 MHz transmission channels together to deliver data at speeds in
excess of 160 Mbps to consumers," said CableLabs President and CEO,
Dr. Richard R. Green. "DOCSIS 3.0 also incorporates support for the Internet
Protocol version 6 (IPv6), allowing cable operators to expand their service
offerings beyond current limits. We would like to thank Motorola for the
support shown for our DOCSIS initiative."

    Motorola's SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 CPE portfolio enables operators to:
    -- Protect their installed base of high-speed data customers
    -- Deliver new high-value / high-bandwidth, multimedia services
    -- Deliver competitive, high-capacity commercial services to their
       business customers

Designed for service assurance, the Motorola SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 CPE are
compatible with Motorola's NBBS Device Management Platform and Motorola's
eCare for remote access customer component troubleshooting and configuration,
eliminating unnecessary truck rolls.

Motorola's commitment to invest in the BSR 64000 CMTS/edge router and to
provide innovative solutions to cable operators in the battle over bandwidth
is demonstrated by this recent accomplishment. The TX32 DOCSIS 3.0 Decoupled
Downstream Module enables operators to:

    -- Quintuple downstream capacity of a BSR 64000 while maintaining full
       redundancy
    -- Reduce cost per downstream channel by up to 60%
    -- Simultaneously support of DOCSIS compliant 1.x, 2.0 and new DOCSIS 3.0
       cable modems and feature sets

Motorola will be showcasing the DOCSIS 3.0 certified and qualified
products at The Cable Show, May 18-20, 2008 at the New Orleans Convention
Center, South Hall, Booth #1405.

Fact Sheet

SURFboard(R) SB6120 Cable Modem

The Motorola SURFboard SB6120 is DOCSIS 3.0 certified. It enables cable
operators to provide their customers advanced multimedia services through
additional upstream and downstream bandwidth availability. It provides them
with an economic option for greater than 160 Mbps of user data throughput,
without the need for hybrid fiber coax (HFC) plant upgrade. The SB6120
supports IPv4 and IPv6 as well as Advanced Encryption Services as part of the
DOCSIS 3.0 standards.

The SURFboard SB6120's enhanced tuner supports up to a 1 GHz downstream
