Fox Filmed Entertainment Selects Motient Corporation as Wireless Data Carrier

Entertainment Executives at Fox Divisions Benefit from Motient's Robust Network

Reston, VA - Motient Corporation, America's largest wireless data network carrier, today announced that Fox Filmed Entertainment, a subsidiary of Fox Entertainment Group, has deployed an initial batch of RIM 850 and RIM 857 Wireless Handhelds™ powered by Motient's eLink software. Executives at Fox now have access to important information they need, wherever they go, through instant 2-way wireless e-mail.

"We needed a reliable carrier with network coverage everywhere we travel in the U.S., which is why Motient was our top choice. The fact that eLink works in harmony with our Novell Groupwise applications was a huge factor in our decision as well," said Nader Karimi, vice president of emerging technology at Fox Filmed Entertainment. "The executives at Fox are constantly mobile, either on location, in airports, or in meetings away from their offices. Motient's network gets their messages to them wherever they are, instantly and reliably. That's invaluable to us."

The Motient network covers 100 percent of the metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the U.S., enabling wireless data access for more people than any other carrier. Only Motient provides the pervasive nationwide network coverage that equates to superior in-building, on-street and in-vehicle reach with the highest capacity of any wireless data provider.

"Motient has always enjoyed a strong relationship with members of the entertainment industry, and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial engagement serving Fox Filmed Entertainment," said Mike Fabbri, vice president of sales at Motient.
