    HOLTSVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc.
(NYSE: MOT) announced today that its subsidiary companies Symbol
Technologies, Inc. and Wireless Valley Communications, Inc. (the
Companies), have filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Aruba
Networks, Inc. The lawsuit, filed on August 27, 2007 in the United States
District Court for the District of Delaware, concerns Aruba's infringement
of patents related to wireless local area network (WLAN) communication
technologies.
    Motorola, Symbol and Wireless Valley are pioneers in network
communication technologies, and currently hold many patents directly
related to WLAN technologies. Symbol introduced the market's first modern
wireless switch architecture, a breakthrough WLAN architecture that can
significantly lower the cost of deploying network infrastructure and drive
down the cost of managing, maintaining and upgrading wireless systems. Two
of the patents in this lawsuit relate to WLAN switching architecture
technology. Wireless Valley introduced the breakthrough concept of using a
predictive design approach, a three dimensional representation of an
environment, and site specific information in the design, implementation
and management of wireless networks in and around buildings. Two of the
patents in the lawsuit relate to WLAN site planning and RF management.
    The Companies are seeking a permanent injunction against Aruba's use of
the patented technologies and monetary damages for infringing use.
