Israel's Pelephone to use Motorola walkie-talkie tech

TEL AVIV, March 31 (Reuters) -
Israeli mobile phone operator Pelephone
said on Wednesday it signed a deal
with U.S. handset maker Motorola Inc
(NYSE:MOT - News) to use its
"walkie-talkie" technology.

Pelephone said its network would
use Motorola's Push-To-Talk
technology, which would be
functional in Israel in about four
months.

No financial details were released,
but communication sources in Tel
Aviv estimated that the deal is
worth about $3 million to $5 million.

The technology will allow cellphone
callers to use an additional
walkie-talkie facility, which lowers
costs, a spokesman for Pelephone
said.

Pelephone is owned 50 percent by
Bezeq Israel Telecom (Tel Aviv:BEZQ.TA - News)
and 50 percent by Shamrock Holdings of California Inc,
the investment company of Walt Disney's nephew, Roy Disney.
