Motorola Adds Full Redundancy and Increased Downstream Capacity to Proven
High-Density I-CMTS Solution

Latest Motorola BSR 64000 software release enables MSOs to ensure high
availability of voice, video and ultra-broadband for commercial and
residential customers

HORSHAM, Pa., March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT)
today announced the launch of software release 5.2 for the widely deployed
DOCSIS(R) 3.0 CableLabs(R) Bronze Qualified Motorola BSR 64000 integrated CMTS
(I-CMTS). Release 5.2 introduces TX32 redundancy providing an advanced level
of system-wide high-availability and service assurance for ultra-broadband
networks, delivering downstream bonded services for commercial and high-tier
customers as well as increased service tiers for residential customers. In
addition, the new release supports a doubling of BSR 64000 downstream capacity
while continuing investment protection that has made the BSR 64000 the easiest
CMTS platform to migrate from DOCSIS 2.0 to DOCSIS 3.0.

Cable operators require greater and more cost-effective downstream capacity in
order to support ultra-broadband applications such as the downloading and
streaming of HDTV and the viewing of IPTV. At the same time, increasing
competition in consumer broadband services and a heightened focus on
commercial services is driving cable operators to differentiate on the quality
of their service. These dynamics place an even greater demand on increased
network capacity and end-to-end redundancy, both of which release 5.2 and the
BSR 64000 I-CMTS solution deliver in the most cost effective manner.

"Cable operators are seeking to differentiate themselves in today's highly
competitive broadband market not only by winning the speed race, but by
increasing their focus on network availability. Downtime to the consumer is
unacceptable where there is a choice of service providers." said Dr. George H.
Simmons, corporate vice president and general manager, Access Network
Solutions, Motorola, Inc. "With BSR software release 5.2, cable operators can
increase downstream capacity, offer ultra-broadband speeds of up to 160 Mbps,
and maintain high-availability of their DOCSIS based voice, video and data
services all while protecting their legacy investments."

Release 5.2 expands downstream capacity per BSR 64000 with the support of dual
TX32 modules per chassis. This increase in downstream channel density and
bandwidth helps cable operators provide greater capacity and bandwidth for
commercial and high-tier residential customers. In addition, operators can now
leverage superior control of IPTV traffic with greater multicast traffic
control, enhanced multipath routing redundancy, and subscriber billing with L2
MAC configuration. The BSR 64000 also supports superior bandwidth management
capabilities by supporting both DOCSIS 3.0 downstream channel bonding and
dynamic load balancing simultaneously across existing 2:8 and TX32 modules.

Motorola's DOCSIS 3.0 Bronze qualified CMTS includes support for IPv4 and IPv6
and is backwards compatible with DOCSIS 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 standards to further
protect investments in operators' CPE portfolio. Designed for service
assurance, the BSR 64000 is also compatible with Motorola's NBBS device
management platform and Motorola's eCare solution for remote customer
configuration and support.
