Motorola Brings Leading Aerospace Technology to the Automobile

  Motorola Sublicenses Technology from Honeywell to Commercialize Gyros For
                            The Automotive Market

    NORTHBROOK, Ill., Aug. 20 Motorola , today
announced it has sublicensed intellectual property from Honeywell to design
and manufacture Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) silicon-based gyros for
the automotive and truck markets.  Honeywell, a market leader in gyros for
aircraft guidance and control applications, will provide Motorola with access
to MEMS gyro technology and expertise, including an extensive patent portfolio
licensed from Draper Laboratory, a preeminent developer of guidance and
navigation technology.

    Motorola will use the silicon MEMS gyro as a component in its inertial
sensor modules, which measure angular rate and acceleration.  The inertial
sensor modules will have application in vehicle stability control and rollover
safety systems, as well as vehicle location and navigation systems.
Motorola's expertise in silicon micro-machining and electronic module
manufacturing will permit commercialization of the technology for an
anticipated 2004 model year vehicle release.

    The combination of Motorola's automotive presence and Honeywell's
aerospace experience will enhance the development of sensing products for
advanced vehicle dynamics and control systems.  The resulting products will
offer a cost effective solution to the measurement of a vehicle's angular rate
that is resistant to shock and radio frequency interference.  The sensor
modules will also provide improved performance over temperature and vibration
conditions typically encountered in harsh automotive environments.

    "As a leader in the automotive sensor business, we are continually
expanding our product base and investing in new and innovative technologies
that our customers need," said Kirk Sievers, sensors business director,
Automotive and Industrial Electronics Group (AIEG), an operating unit of the
Motorola Automotive Communications and Electronic Systems (ACES) Group.
"Combining this superior silicon-based technology with Motorola's unique
manufacturing capability allows Motorola to enter the vehicle dynamics sensing
market as a cost and performance leader."
