HORSHAM, Pa., Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Motorola Mobility is working with WESCO International's subsidiary, TVC Communications, to offer its Carrier Ethernet portfolio--an end-to-end component system designed to give service providers a competitive advantage in vying for the more than 130 billion-dollar(1) advanced business services and mobile backhaul solutions market.

"Businesses want relationships with service providers that can provide highly resilient Ethernet connectivity ranging from tens of megabits to gigabits," said Joe Cozzolino, senior vice president and general manager, Network Infrastructure Solutions, Motorola Mobility. "Through our strategic agreement with WESCO's TVC Communications, Motorola's Carrier MEF Certified Ethernet solution offers service providers the flexibility to service business customers or mobile operators with low-cost deployment opportunities via existing outside plant or new fiber builds addressing various business services applications. With Motorola's end-to-end business services portfolio customers can launch new, revenue-generating business services quickly, easily and cost-effectively."
