MANAGEMENT ON THE MOVE

LOCATIONS

02 Feb 09. Motorola, Inc. launched its LTE trial network and testing lab in Swindon, UK. The occasion was marked with a live, over the air, standards compliant LTE call during which high-speed data services were streamed using Motorola’s LTE infrastructure operating in the 2.6GHz spectrum and a prototype LTE device. This latest expansion of Motorola’s LTE trial facilities offers operators the ability to engage in LTE technology field trials and detailed real-world equipment testing at the UK site. Additionally, Motorola can host the core elements of the LTE network for operators that require a hosted LTE trial in EMEA. The network and trial activity is fully supported by Motorola services, giving operators access to Motorola’s expertise in deploying and optimizing OFDM-based mobile broadband networks as well as developing 4G migration strategies.

03 Feb 09. The United States hopes to continue using an airbase in Kyrgyzstan
despite threats to close it, a Pentagon spokesman said Feb. 3, calling it “hugely important” for the resupply of US forces in Afghanistan. Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev was quoted Feb. 3 in Moscow as saying his government had decided to set a deadline for the closure of the base at Manas, a key logistics hub for US forces. “The government of Kyrgyzstan has taken a decision over the ending of the time period for the American base to remain on the territory of Kyrgyzstan,” he said after talks with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. “The decision will be announced very soon,” he added, quoted by Russian news agencies. Russia has long been irritated by the U.S. military presence deep in former Soviet territory, and numerous reports have suggested the base’s closure would be in exchange for financial aid. Pentagon officials said they hoped to continue to use the base. (Source: Defense News)
