>,,„.. ..it,, „ Systems Group Indonesia awarded us a contract for systems that are to eventually become part of a nationwide network. In Germany, Bundespost Telekom qualified Motorola as one of three potential suppliers for the Dl (GSM digital) cellular network. In Sweden, Comvik awarded us the GSM operational network, and in the U.K., we shipped the first pre-operational base station for the nationwide GSM system. TELCEL S.A., Motorola's Spanish joint venture, was awarded the GSM operational system for Seville. We signed agreements in principle with Alcatel and Siemens to cross-license each other's essential GSM Pan-European Digital Cellular patents. In Latin America, we were awarded contracts in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Mexico and Uruguay. We unveiled the technology for our new Wireless In-Building Network (WIN), which is to provide highspeed communications among personal computers and other electronic equipment inside a building. The technology makes possible a whole family of wireless communications systems and components planned to be introduced in the 1990s. The first will enable wireless local area network (LAN) communications among personal computers. The sector expanded its European Software Center in Cork, Ireland, to develop cellular systems. The cellular manufacturing center at Swindon, England, became operational, and a design engineering center was established in Fort Worth, Texas. The Cellular Subscriber Group broke ground for a new headquarters in Iibertyville, 111., and a manufacturing center in Easter Inch, Scotland. In the Computer Group, the MultiPersonal™ Computer was introduced. Designed as an "office integrator" for the commercial desktop, it is based on the 88000 RISC microprocessor, AT&T's UNIX* operating system, and the X Window graphics standard developed by MIT. The system enhances office productivity through networked word-processing, spreadsheet and database benefits. New functionality for the product includes the MultiPersonal Image Exchange, which enables users to send and receive facsimile documents on-line and route them to the proper network user. Scanned images can be modified and inserted into documents, which can be distributed electronically or stored on optical disk. Motorola maintained its leadership as a supplier of VME processor modules. We began shipments of the MVME165, a microcomputer module built around the MC68040 microprocessor. It is designed for embedded control and distributed real-time applications. General Automation Inc. will purchase our Delta Series 3000 and Delta Series 8000 computer systems under a long-term original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreement. Major contracts for commercial systems were received from the State of Tennessee and Service Merchandise Co., Inc. Sales increased 8% to $599 million and orders rose 14%. The group recorded an operating loss of $1 million, compared with operating profits of $18 million in 1989, because of the loss on the sale of the Codex Corp. headquarters building in Canton, Mass. Codex introduced new products and systems aimed at building its ability to offer networking systems and products worldwide. As the domestic leased line modem market and the worldwide statistical multiplexer markets declined, Codex continued to gain larger shares of each market while making the transition to the networking systems business. Investments in surface-mount technology and advanced manufacturing process resulted in several replacement products with smaller size and world-class quality and functionality. The new Codex 3600 Communications Platform gives customers flexibility in migrating to digital at their own pace. It can run at 24,000 bits per second (bps) when configured as a leased-line modem. A simple upgrade allows customers to configure the platform as a digital transmission device. Complementing the platform is the new 3500 Digital Service Unit/Channel Service Unit and a terminal adaptor for the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). With Release 3 of the Codex 9800 Series Network Management System, Codex delivered an Operational Interface kit that allows Codex or other vendors to write interfaces to manage non-Codex products. Codex also introduced interfaces to the "supermanagers" offered by IBM, Digital Equipment and AT&T. Codex won a major data networking contract from the Federal Aviation Administration, and began shipping products to the U.S. Defense Communications Agency as part of its Bulk Modem requirements contract. Motorola Blue Star, Ltd., our data communications joint venture in Bangalore, India, began production of its first products. It received a contract from the Centre for Railway Information Systems for Indianmanufactured high-speed, leased-line modems and multiplexers based on Codex technology. Sales and orders at UDS grew rapidly, mainly because of the high-speed dial-up modem market. Shipments of 9,600 bps V.32 modems more than doubled, while sales of digital products also increased. Orders for V.32 modems included one from the Japanese National Railroad in Hokkaido* Japan. UDS became the first U.S. company to receive approval for a V.32 dial-up modem in Germany. In Egypt, the National Packet Switched Network (Arento) selected UDS V.32 and V.22bis models for its international network. Products such as the UDS GlobalView™ Network Management System are designed to address the customers' need for control of the dial-up network. 22
