    ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola,
Inc. (NYSE: MOT), a leading provider of broadband wireless access
technologies, has been at the forefront of promoting WiMAX as a
cost-effective means for delivering wireless connectivity for fixed,
portable, and mobile applications. Dan Coombes, senior vice president and
chief technology officer, Motorola Networks and Enterprise, will deliver a
keynote address: "Creating an End-to-End Ecosystem for WiMAX Networks", at
WiMAX Strategies 2006 to discuss how the company is collaborating to
develop a comprehensive ecosystem for satisfying global demands for
personal broadband "on the go," and for promoting the universal adoption of
this standards-based technology.
    WiMAX, built on the technology heritage of WiFi, is designed to
effectively and efficiently connect devices to the Internet and expand data
and voice services across wide areas. Coombes will talk about the market
opportunity for WiMAX, including the many services and applications that
will be enabled by the technology. He will also provide a detailed overview
of its benefits and capabilities -- for operators, manufacturers, content
providers and consumers -- to answer the growing question, "Why WiMAX?"
    "As with any new technology, developing an ecosystem is an essential
step in advancing its adoption and driving volume, which in turn lowers the
costs to make it more affordable -- not just for the operators who deploy
it but for the consumers who drive its popularity as well," said Coombes.
    A replay of the Coombes' keynote presentation will be available
beginning at 1:00 p.m. CDT June 8, 2006, at
