3G technology making the lives of people easier through user-friendly compelling applications

The provision of 3G technology across the region offers an entirely new communication platform to the world of telecommunications by reliably delivering the latest in multi-media entertainment, advanced messaging and Bluetooth™ wireless technology at unprecedented speeds on mobile phones.

"Motorola is at the forefront of a new wave of communication technology - this is a position that we are not going to give up, and our portfolio of products is designed in such a way that we stay in pole position through 2005", stated Gene Delaney, President of Motorola's Global Relations and Resource Organisation.

Motorola's latest 3G phone - A835, is a consumer driven communication tool with the capacity to operate on third generation services and networks using very high data speeds of up to 384 Kbps. These high exchange rates are suitable for reliable video conferencing.

Motorola and Etisalat enjoy a special partnership arrangement regarding third generation services in the UAE. The recent announcement of a joint initiative aimed at affordably providing an end-to-end user solution across the UAE has made the deployment of this evolutionary technology real and accessible. The company has committed at exclusively providing Etisalat with state-of-the-art third generation mobile phones.

"By Etisalat providing the services and Motorola the handsets, we will collaboratively ensure our customers enjoy third generation related telecommunication services," says Etisalat

"Motorola is fully committed at providing third generation phones in the UAE market and I am sure it will yield great success," Delaney added. From a functionality perspective, Delaney highlighted that third generation phones in the region will kick start with demand coming from video conferencing. Motorola is also working very closely with Etisalat on developing Push-to-Talk over GPRS as well as showcasing its Broadband portfolio of products.
