LONDON - 19 October 2005 - Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) announced today that it is advancing its position as a biometrics solutions provider by enhancing its portfolio of identity management products. The comprehensive Identity Management portfolio broadens Motorola’s commitment to help governments evolve to next generation ePassports and National ID cards to help deliver safer travel worldwide. Motorola’s announcement was made at the Biometrics 2005 show in London.

Motorola’s enhanced Biometrics Identity Management Portfolio will enable countries around the world to better protect borders. Citizens will further benefit from the reduction of identity theft and fraud. Government agencies can select from a portfolio of enrollment stations to produce personalized secure documents, verification stations to verify a person’s identification, and wireless mobile devices to verify identification at national borders.

Motorola is a leading provider of Mission Critical communications solutions, including civil biometrics solutions and Automatic Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) to help governments and public safety agencies track and accurately identify individuals. Motorola is one of the world’s leading biometric companies, with solutions in more than 37 countries.

Motorola’s Biometric Identity Management portfolio combines fingerprints with 3D and 2D facial images identifying people by the sections of the face that are less susceptible to alteration. This highly accurate multi-modal biometric algorithm is designed to produce and verify travel documents, national IDs, voter registration, and social benefits. The robust portfolio also enables governments to more efficiently launch new secure document programs via a single point of access.

“Our ground-breaking use of 3D face combined with face/finger fusion make Motorola’s portfolio one of the most accurate in the industry,” said Darrin J. Reilly, General Manager of Motorola’s Biometrics Unit. “Our enhanced portfolio reinforces Motorola’s dedication to the biometrics market, illustrates our expertise in fusing multiple biometrics, and shows how we can integrate software with smart cards and secure documents such as ePassports.”
