Nextel and Giuliani Partners Announce Strategic Alliance To Improve Public Safety Communications

Reston, Va. and New York, NY – May 2, 2002 -- Nextel Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTL), a leading provider of fully integrated wireless communications services, and Giuliani Partners LLC today announced a strategic alliance to significantly improve public safety communications across the United States. The public safety community is facing two critical communications challenges – the need to resolve interference to their communications systems and to allow for instant, rapid, secure communications capabilities between public safety authorities across multiple jurisdictions. Giuliani Partners will contribute expert advice with regard to the communication needs of public safety authorities and key members of the Giuliani Partners team will provide guidance on the implementation of the solution.

"Public safety agencies in many areas of the country are increasingly facing problems with communications disruptions and interference," said Rudolph W. Giuliani, Chairman and CEO of Giuliani Partners LLC. "This interference can disrupt critical safety communications among police officers, firefighters, rescue teams and other emergency response personnel, putting both them and the public they serve at risk. Giuliani Partners is committed to helping resolve these concerns and improving the ability of public safety authorities to speak with one another during both day-to-day operations and crisis situations."

"Nextel’s alliance with Giuliani Partners brings to the table unmatched knowledge of the unique communications needs associated with both day-to-day and emergency public safety operations," noted Tim Donahue, Nextel President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are committed to working with government and industry constituencies to find the best solutions for resolving interference and creating the opportunity for seamless public safety communications. The Giuliani team is equally committed to these goals and we are pleased to be working together."

The effort will be supported by the extensive public safety background and experience of senior executives from Giuliani Partners including New York City’s former Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, former Fire Commissioner Thomas Von Essen and former Director of the Office of Emergency Management Richard Sheirer.
