Motorola Installs Mobile Data Solution for Basel Ambulance Service, Switzerland

BASINGSTOKE, England -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:
MOT) Commercial, Government and Industrial
Solutions Sector (CGISS) today announced that
working in partnership with Motcom Communication
AG in Zurich, it has completed the installation of
new mobile data software for Basel Ambulance
Service. The system will provide information from
the control room quickly and efficiently into the
field.

The system was installed in two phases and was
finalised with the mapping component in June
2003. The wireless data software, Motorola's
Premier MDC(TM), extends data and information
from databases in the dispatch office into the
field. This means that ambulance workers have the
latest incident information, including patient
history, as they step out of their vehicles. The
system also provides detailed information about
the target location as part of the automated
mapping system. This information was formerly
only retrievable via radio contact or sometimes it
couldn't be accessed at all.

The software resides on mobile data computers or
terminals, which are installed in the vehicles, such
as Motorola's MW800. Ambulance workers in the
field will be able to access information on vehicles,
people and property.

The Basel Ambulance Service serves a population
of almost half a million people and receives an
average of 20,000 emergency calls per year. Bruno
Muller, IT Director, Basel Ambulance Service,
commented: "We needed a mobile data system
that could provide immediate, detailed incident
and location information to our response vehicles,
allowing faster response times to emergency
calls."

The Premier MDC system is installed on Microbus
Mobile Data Terminals and also includes in-vehicle
mapping. The system seamlessly interfaces with
the existing computer-aided dispatch and API
(Application Programming Interface) to message
switch systems.

The Premier MDC system includes Global
Positioning System (GPS) capabilities that allow
Basel Ambulance personnel to view latitude and
longitude data on screen at all times and identify
their exact location when writing incident reports
or when requesting back-up assistance on a long
stretch of highway.

"We are pleased to provide this state-of-the-art
technology to the Basel Ambulance Service. This
project represents an important milestone as other
agencies and organisations throughout Switzerland
and Europe decide to implement mobile data
solutions," said Brett Smith, Product Portfolio and
Marketing Manager for Motorola CGISS' Integrated
Solutions Division.

The Basel Ambulance mobile data system is the
first Premier MDC system using General Packet
Radio System (GPRS) software in Europe. This
system also represents Motorola's first mobile data
ambulance contract in Europe, the Middle East and
Asia.
