Software Combines Element
Management With Bandwidth and Authentication Tools
Schaumburg, IL -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) has introduced Prizm
2.0, a network management software platform that helps operators reduce
the operating and capital costs of running a Canopy(R) wireless network
while enabling tiered service offerings that can create new revenue
streams. |

Canopy wireless networks are part of Motorola's MOTOwi4 portfolio of
wireless broadband solutions and services that create, complement and
complete IP networks. MOTOwi4 includes Canopy fixed broadband, Mesh,
Broadband over Powerline, and WiMAX solutions for private and public
networks. Prizm 2.0 is the optimal management platform for Canopy
wireless broadband networks, providing full element management
capability, including bandwidth and authentication management,
integrated into a single platform. The Prizm software platform includes
a solid migration path to support the entire MOTOwi4 portfolio.
"Prizm 2.0 helps operators of both large and small Canopy networks by
providing full element management capabilities specifically designed to
lower costs and increase the value of their Motorola Canopy network,"
said Tom Hulsebosch, senior director of sales and marketing for
Motorola's Canopy Wireless Broadband Group. "For example, Prizm 2.0 can
be used to preserve bandwidth to deliver premium services to customers
with the introduction of integrated bandwidth and authentication
management."
Prizm 2.0 can reduce network management expenses by enabling network
operators to manage software features through the deployment of floating
software licenses. These licenses offer network operators the
flexibility to migrate services throughout the network and deploy higher
throughput services based on customer demand. This pay-as-you-grow
business model creates an opportunity for service providers to compete
at low price entry levels by offering 512Kbps Canopy Lite Subscriber
Modules that can be upgraded with license keys through Prizm 2.0 to 1
Mbps, 2 Mbps, 4 Mbps and 7 Mbps. Prizm 2.0 is available now, and
availability of the Canopy Lite upgrade license keys is expected in the
third quarter.
Network management automation can also reduce operational expenses of
on-going network operations. As such, Prizm 2.0 addresses many other
network operator-oriented needs including network failure notification,
user authentication, centralized and automated network configuration,
bandwidth management and network access privileges. Prizm 2.0 software
was designed to integrate smoothly into an operator's existing
Operations Support Systems. The Prizm 2.0 software was designed to
quickly and smoothly integrate into existing network management
environments and supports multiple industry standard interfaces,
including XML and SNMP. Prizm 2.0 can be deployed within any Canopy
network, including point-to-point and point-to-multipoint deployments,
regardless of frequency. Motorola's Canopy platform is a robust,
high-speed wireless broadband solution for cost-effective connectivity
for private networks, such as governments or enterprises and for
Internet service providers and carriers. Its superior performance
promises one of the lowest total costs of ownership and is designed to
significantly reduce a provider's start-up, maintenance and leased-line
costs. Further information on Prizm 2.0 and a 30-day no obligation trial
