Motorola Wins Malaysian Contract
Motorola's Malaysia subsidiary, Motorola Electronics Sdn Bhd, has been awarded a contract to optimize the existing 2.5 and 3G data networks of Maxis Broadband. Motorola's Network Optimization Service is already available on Maxis 3G networks, and is expected to be commercially deployed on the operator's 2.5G networks by Q4 2005.
Through the use of enhanced data reduction techniques and protocol acceleration algorithms, the Motorola solution greatly reduces download times to provide enhanced user experience promoting increased data usage. In addition, by achieving more efficient use of their existing infrastructure, network operators can help increase subscriber capacity, reduce capital expenditure and network operating costs.
Motorola first started installing Maxis' GSM system 10 years ago, and in 2001 installed its GPRS wireless data network. Maxis currently has a total of approximately 6.5 million customers with a rising trend in data wireless subscribers.
"Today's mobile users are rapidly moving towards a converged lifestyle where the mobile phone is no longer treated as a means to place voice calls only. We are now seeing more users turning to their mobile phones for data-intensive usage such as Web surfing and sharing multimedia content with friends," said Maxis' Head of Product Development and Management, Karim Abdul Malik. "With Motorola's network optimization solutions, we can now enhance the attractiveness and usability of mobile data services to our customers."
