CHENGDU, Jan 22, 2003 (SinoCast via COMTEX) -- Motorola's software center in
Chengdu passes the assessment of SEI CMM5. This center is the first research
center following SEICMM rules in China of Motorola. (SEI: Software Engineering
Institute, CMM: Capability Maturity Model)

This center was founded in January 2001 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. In the
beginning of its foundation, the 15-staff center just was a software laboratory,
and the number would be increased to 180 by the end of 2003.

Now, this center's main tasks are research of 2.5 and 3G technologies. Motorola
closed the research center in Canada and opened the Chengdu center in order to
focusing on China, the biggest market of the world.

The president of Motorola said that the company would keep investing in
construction of plants of broadband televisions and semiconductors, and software
centers in China. The company hoped its total output to be US$ 10 billion by
2006, with a total investment and procurement volume to be US$ 10 billion
respectively.
