Motorola Inc. - Conference Presentation Calls

Inventor Judah Klausner filed suit against Motorola Inc. and Research In Motion Limited, alleging infringement of technology patents related to visual voicemail. Visual voicemail lets phone users see who has left a voicemail and choose which messages they want to listen to. Klausner Tech reported that its suit against Motorola is based on its recently launched Cliq phone, right, sold by T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom. The company reported other Motorola models that use visual voicemail are covered by patent licences granted to mobile phone operators. Motorola declined comment. Klausner Tech reported the suit against BlackBerry maker Research In Motion relates to new BlackBerry Bold 9700 models.

The Enterprise Mobility Solutions business unit of Motorola Inc. announced that BIG Wireless has deployed a citywide wireless broadband network in Altoona, Penn. The wireless network combines Motorola's field-proven mesh wide area network (MWAN) and point-to-multipoint technologies to deliver reliable and secure public safety wireless broadband access and support for mobility applications used by the City's fire, police, codes and public works departments. Motorola's solution provides the bandwidth and capacity needed to support Altoona's current initiatives while also offering the flexibility to introduce future applications. Initially, the network will be used by the Altoona Police and Fire Departments for Internet access and high-speed mobile access to a wide range of applications. The Police Department initially will use the wireless network for access to the Pennsylvania Justice Network (JNET), Informant reporting software, field reporting and mapping applications, with plans to add computer-aided dispatch applications in the future. The Altoona Fire Department will also use the wireless network to access Firehouse reporting software, building plans, property and mapping systems, as well as Hazmat systems, with future plans for rip-and-run and mobile inspection applications. Public service officials will also benefit from the new citywide network. For example, city code officers will have mobile access to city permitting, property and mapping systems while bridge inspectors will have access to the statewide reporting system anywhere in the city. Altoona Water Authority personnel will also have access to internal mapping and water/sewer line databases when out in the field.
