New Delhi, Aug 30: Anil Ambani group's telecom arm, Reliance Communications (RCOM) is planning to tie up with Motorola and HP for the infrastructure and technology innovation unit for 3G mobile business.

RCOM, which won 3G spectrum in 13 circles, including Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, is planning to launch 3G services by the end of 2010.
