SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) announced today that it has named Winncom Technologies as a distributor to sell Motorola's Canopy wireless broadband products into Russia and other Eastern European countries.  In addition, Winncom will be establishing a channel of authorized Canopy solutions providers in the region.

Winncom Technologies Corp., a subsidiary of ARC Wireless Solutions Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: ARCS), is a value-added distributor of wireless broadband, wireless fidelity (WiFi), voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), virtual private network (VPN) and other wireless networking related products and services.

"We have experience in selling wireless broadband products and we are very pleased to be able to add the Canopy portfolio.  Motorola is a unique company in that it offers a complete wireless end-to-end broadband network solution, including global support services and training.  We believe the portfolio of products we will be adding to our distribution channels will be well received by our customers throughout the region," said Gregory E. Raskin, chief executive officer of Winncom Technologies.

"We are seeing great sales gains in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa because these regions don't have a lot of existing high-speed data connectivity alternatives, and where they do, it's often expensive and unreliable," said Dennis Stipati, director of sales for Motorola's Canopy Wireless Broadband business in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

Michael Cai, senior analyst with Dallas-based Parks Associates, said governments in Eastern Europe are interested in delivering broadband services to more businesses and households.  "Eastern European countries such as Russia and Poland have broadband penetration rates of lower than 0.5 percent, but as the economies of these regions continue to grow, more and more computers will be purchased, and in turn, more people want high-speed connectivity," said Cai.  "I expect wireless broadband to play an important role and show steady percentage growth in Eastern Europe for the next several years."
