Motorola Announces Availability of New Bandwidth Enhancing Solution at ANGA Cable 2008Motorola TX32 Decoupled Downstream Module delivers five-fold increase in downstream CMTS capacity to accelerate the delivery of personal media experiences

COLOGNE, Germany, May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ANGA Cable 2008 -- Motorola, Inc. announced the commercial availability of the TX32 Decoupled Downstream Module aimed at cable operators looking to offer ultra-broadband triple-play services at greater speeds and lower overall costs. The solution enables cable operators to deliver significantly increased bandwidth to new DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 3.0(R) cable modems such as Motorola's SURFboard(R) SB6120 and SBV6220, while preserving operator investment in legacy DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 1.x and 2.0 cable modems. The Motorola TX32 will be demonstrated live for the first time in Europe at ANGA Cable 2008.

By deploying new ultra-broadband service tiers capable of lightning-fast downloads, cable operators can now meet consumer's rapidly growing demand to view more and more content online and support their move to Web 2.0 levels of online social interactivity. Motorola's BSR 64000 CMTS/Edge Router and SURFboard cable modems are being used in successful end-to-end channel bonding deployments worldwide. With the addition of the TX32 to the portfolio, these channel bonded networks can seamlessly evolve to integrated CMTS (I-CMTS) environments with a simple software upgrade and the installation of a TX32 Decoupled Downstream Module.

"As a world leader in ultra-broadband solutions and DOCSIS 3.0 deployments, we are committed to providing cable operators with innovative and highly cost effective solutions," said Dr. George Simmons, corporate vice president and general manager, Access Network Solutions, Home & Networks Mobility, Motorola. "The Motorola TX32 solution allows cable operators to deploy channel bonding services today with only minor adjustments to their network at the headend. This represents a giant leap forward in the race for cost-effective, higher-capacity broadband solutions to deliver enhanced personal media experiences."

The TX32 is the industry's highest-density, integrated downstream solution. Each module supports 32 QAM channels in a single slot within the Motorola BSR 64000, CMTS/EDGE router. The TX32 solution requires one slot in the BSR 64000, whereas competitive alternatives require two slots to provide the same downstream density. As an integrated solution, full redundancy can be maintained which is valuable for operators who are looking to leverage DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 3.0 to increase the content delivered to their customers and to tap into the enterprise market.

The Motorola TX32 will increase the downstream capacity of deployed BSR 64000s by more than 500% and dramatically reduce the cost per downstream QAM. The TX32 also incorporates IPv6 and Advanced Encryption Services (AES).

Channel bonding is driving the initial move to DOCSIS 3.0 in Europe and the TX32 enables cable operators to efficiently deliver accelerated personal media experiences, including fast Internet services, in a highly competitive broadband market. This is testament to Motorola's global video leadership position and ability to support broadband everywhere, including certified and qualified DOCSIS 3.0 solutions.

OmniVision Turns Digital Imaging World Upside DownBackside Illumination Technology Improves Image Quality, Enables Design Shrinks Down to 0.9 Micron Pixels

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. , the world's largest supplier of CMOS image sensors, today launched its OmniBSITM architecture, a novel sensor design that adopts a radically different approach to traditional CMOS image sensor technology. Using backside illumination (BSI), OmniBSI enables OmniVision to continue offering improved image quality while extending its pixel roadmap down to 0.9 micron pixels, which is the key to continued miniaturization of digital imaging technology. OmniVision developed OmniBSI architecture with the support of its long-time foundry and process technology partner, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC).

BSI methodology involves turning the CameraChip(TM) sensor upside down so that it collects light through what was previously the backside of the sensor, the silicon substrate. This approach differs from conventional front side illumination (FSI) image sensors, where the amount of light reaching the photo-sensitive area is limited, in part, by the multiple metal and dielectric layers required to enable the sensor to convert photons into electrons. The FSI approach can block or deflect light from reaching the pixel, ultimately reducing the fill factor and causing additional problems, such as cross talk, between pixels. BSI reverses the arrangement of layers so that the metal and dielectric layers reside below the sensor array, providing the most direct path for light to travel into the pixel. This novel approach optimizes light absorption, enabling OmniVision to build a 1.4 micron BSI pixel that surpasses all the performance metrics of 1.4 micron, and even most 1.75 micron, FSI pixels.

OmniBSI architecture delivers a number of performance improvements over FSI, including increased sensitivity per unit area, improved quantum efficiency and reduced cross talk and photo response non-uniformity, which all lead to significant improvements in image quality. Since light directly strikes the silicon, the fill factor of the image sensor is significantly improved so as to deliver best-in-class low-light sensitivity. A much higher chief ray angle enables shorter lens heights which in turn allows for thinner camera modules, which are ideal for use in the next generation of ultra-thin mobile phones. Finally, BSI technology affords a much larger aperture size, which allows for lower f stops facilitating the development of better performing camera modules with superior camera performance.

"Moving FSI pixel architectures down to 1.4 micron and below, under current design rules, poses some real challenges because metal lines and transistors are driving the aperture of the pixel close to the wavelength of light, its physical limit," said Howard Rhodes, Vice President of Process Engineering at OmniVision. "To overcome this with traditional FSI pixel technology would require a migration to 65 nm copper process technologies, which would significantly increase the complexity and cost of manufacturing. Because it allows for more than three layers of metal, BSI achieves significant manufacturing benefits without moving to smaller process nodes. This means routing can be simplified and die sizes can be smaller than in FSI sensors, without the need to move to smaller process nodes with all their associated complexities and additional costs."

"Although backside illumination concepts have been studied for over 20 years, up until now nobody has been able to successfully develop the process for commercial, high volume CMOS sensor manufacturing," said Dr. Ken Chen, Senior Director, Mainstream Technology Marketing, TSMC. "Combining OmniVision's imaging expertise with TSMC's experience in process development, we have delivered a truly advanced technology that defines the future of digital imaging."

"BSI allows OmniVision to further extend its competitive edge in digital imaging technology, while continuing the use of our production-proven, 0.11 micron process technology. This provides major cost and performance advantages for OmniVision and, ultimately, our customers," concluded Rhodes.

OmniVision is currently demonstrating an 8 MegaPixel, OmniBSI CameraChip sensor, and expects to start sampling first products before the end of June.

Motorola Powers TETRA with Innovative Fuel Cell Technology at TETRA World Congress 2008

HONG KONG, May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TETRA WORLD CONGRESS -- Motorola, Inc. today announced that it is showing a Dimetra IP TETRA base station with a fuel cell at the TETRA World Congress in Hong Kong. The fuel cell incorporates a reformer so that the base station can run using a water/methanol mix. This would overcome any supply issues associated with hydrogen and makes the fuel cell a viable solution in many more locations and in developing areas of the world. This solution was also shown at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain in February 2008, through a fuel cell powered cellular phone.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020307/MOTLOGO http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020415/MOTNOTAGLOGO )

In mission-critical or emergency operations, TETRA base stations must run continuously to provide secure communications even in times of power outages. Batteries or conventional generator solutions have to be provided as a backup for mains power at critical locations or if the mains power has regular outages. Generators have a number of disadvantages, including carbon emissions and noise. Fuel cell technology is advancing and now offers significant advantages that match the needs for TETRA base stations in challenging locations.

Motorola has investigated hydrogen powered fuel cell technology for TETRA, and in areas where hydrogen is readily available, it offers a viable alternative to diesel powered generators. Motorola is already actively planning the roll-out of hydrogen powered fuel cells in critical locations in a nationwide network in Northern Europe. Hydrogen fuel cells are now well proven in critical power back-up situations and can run for extended periods limited only by the capacity of the hydrogen, and the only emission is water.

Fuel cell technology is shrinking and Motorola is actively working with partners to investigate the feasibility of fuel cells in all types of mobile communications including mission critical radios. In many mission critical operations, there is a need for long periods of use without the ability to recharge the unit. Fuel cells offer the promise of extended periods of use without the need to return to base to recharge. Fuel cells can also be used to charge TETRA radios in remote locations, for example where TETRA is being used in an emergency and no power is available. Small fuel cells using liquid fuels are being evaluated as a means of charging several radios at one time in a compact desktop unit. Further announcements will be made during 2008 on the application of this technology in mission critical applications.

As TETRA service extends to more and more areas, the need for cost effective, reliable, and environmental-friendly back-up power becomes more significant. Motorola has already recognized this trend in cellular communications and has a wind and solar power solution available. This builds on the successful trial in Namibia of a wind and solar powered GSM base station. The wind and solar power solution can be used with remote TETRA sites, recognizing that there is a need to design the complete power system for continuous service during periods of unusual weather conditions. Fuel cell technology would complement wind and solar power to provide very high levels of availability in all seasons and extremes of climate.

"Motorola understands that public safety professionals require communications solutions that are easy-to-use, perform in ultra-rugged environments where power may be an issue, are ergonomically designed for public safety, and deliver real-time information seamlessly across multiple agencies," said Phey Teck Moh, vice president, Motorola Government & Public Safety, Asia Pacific. "Motorola's MOTOA4(TM) solutions are built around public safety requirements and a fundamental need for technology that is 'second nature,' enabling responders to focus on the mission and not the technology."

For more information, visit the Motorola booth at TETRA World Congress (Booth W) where it will showcase Technology That's Second Nature(TM) through its MOTOA4(TM) portfolio of mission critical solutions.
