GPS Updates

July 28, 2004, A-GPS Issue Update: Solution Has Been Identified By Motorola Engineers. Nextel Developing Rollout Plans.

Motorola recently became aware of a software issue affecting assisted global positioning satellite location (A-GPS) services for the Motorola i205, i305, i530, i710, i730, i733, i736 and i830 iDEN® phones. Engineers from Motorola and Nextel are working diligently to remedy the situation and have identified a fix, which requires a two-part solution. The first part is to deploy a network solution, and this has been completed. The second part of the fix is to update software on customers’ phones, and Nextel is developing plans now to help update those affected phones.

Nextel's Motorola iDEN phones continue to be fully operational with regard to other services, including cellular phone calls, Nextel Direct Connect® calls, voice mail, Caller ID and wireless data applications such as text messaging, email and SMS. Nextel will continue selling its current line of Motorola iDEN phones and will update any functionality as required to address this issue.

For customers using the Motorola i58sr and i88s iDEN phones, the A-GPS commercial location services capabilities are fully functional; however, these phones will require a software update to ensure they can take advantage of E911 Phase II functionality in those areas where Nextel has deployed Phase II service. E911 Phase II is a technology that provides 911 call centers with the approximate physical location of the wireless handset used to place a 911 call.

Nextel's E911 Phase II service is now available for updated phones, and Nextel and Motorola are working around the clock to expedite the updating process. E911 Phase I service is available in a large portion of the country for affected phones that have not received updated software. When a user makes an E911 call with Phase I service, the call transmits the caller's cell phone number and nearest cell site to Public Safety Answering Points — or 911 — call centers.

Nextel is rolling out a program to deploy the new software for the phones, and will share more details once the plan is solidified.
