Motorola and Power & Telephone Sign Distribution Agreement for Wireless Broadband Products

(I-Newswire) June 9, 2005 - Both companies are exhibiting Motorola's Canopy� Platform during SUPERCOMM 2005, June 6-9, at Chicago's McCormick Place. The Canopy Platform is being exhibited in Motorola's Booth 48039 and Power & Tel's Booth 24015.

"We are always looking to ensure that our product portfolio meets the full needs of our customers," said Jim Drain, vice president of the Telephone Group for Memphis, Tenn.-based Power & Tel. "Having a strong wireless offering is becoming essential in the independent telephone market. We are extremely thrilled to be working with Motorola, which is known industry-wide for the quality of their products and technology. The Canopy portfolio should be an ideal fit for our independent local exchange carrier (ILEC) customers that are seeking affordable and reliable ways to extend their DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) services to areas they just can't reach with fiber."

Power & Tel is a worldwide distributor to the telecommunications and cable television industries with customers in 62 countries.

"Power & Tel has a long history of supplying independent telecom operators with their telecommunications needs. There has been a growing need to provide rural telecom operators with a wireless broadband alternative that offers a relatively quick return on investment while delivering reliable, high-speed Internet service to their end-users," said Sal LoSchiavo, worldwide channel director for Motorola's Wireless Broadband Business.
