EJL Wireless Research Comments on Potential JV Between Motorola and Nortel Networks


(Market Wire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) REDWOOD CITY, CA, February 15 / MARKET WIRE/ --

"The recent proposal of a joint venture
between Motorola's wireless infrastructure business and Nortel Network's
wireless infrastructure business would, in our opinion, be the equivalent
of 1+1 = -2 and not 3," says EJL Wireless Research founder and President,
Earl Lum.

"Our BTS contract analysis for 2007 indicates lagging market share for both
companies in the 2G market and virtually no market share in 3G. The
combined company would be the third largest for global and GSM BTS
transceivers and number one in CDMA transceivers based upon 2006 market
share figures. While both companies have bet everything on WiMAX
technology, we are cautious as to the real market opportunity for WiMAX
compared with LTE," says Lum.
