Motorola Solutions

Motorola Solutions, Inc. is an American technology company that provides safety and security products and services. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the company provides critical communications, video security, and command center technologies, used by public safety agencies and enterprises.

Motorola Solutions' offerings are grouped into three primary categories: critical communications land mobile radio (LMR) devices and networks, command center technologies to connect voice, video and data feeds; and video security including devices, AI-powered analytics and management tools. The company also provides managed services and support through a global network of operations centers.

It is the legal successor of Motorola, Inc., following the spinoff of the mobile phone division into Motorola Mobility in 2011.

On January 4, 2011 Motorola Inc. split into two companies: Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions. Motorola Solutions, the public safety and enterprise security side of the business, began trading as a separate independent company under the NYSE symbol MSI.

In April 2011, Motorola Solutions and China's Huawei Technologies settled a legal dispute over trade secrets, which cleared the way for Motorola Solutions to complete the sale of its networks business unit to Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) for $975 million in cash. As part of the transaction, approximately 6,900 employees, and responsibility for supporting customers of Motorola Solutions’ GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, WiMAX and LTE products and services transferred to NSN.

In 2012, the company released the world's first handheld public safety LTE device, the LEX700 mission-critical handheld radio. The device combined rugged hardware with the ability to connect with public safety LTE, cellular, IP and P25 networks

In January 2014, the company announced its acquisition of Twisted Pair Solutions, a provider of push-to-talk over broadband applications for secure, real-time communication on any device. Twisted Pair created an integrated communications system that allows different devices (smartphones, tablets, and PCs) to talk to each other in business, public safety, and military applications.

Later that year, the company completed the sale of its Enterprise business, comprising rugged mobile computers, tablets, and barcode scanners, to Zebra Technologies for $3.45 billion in cash. As part of the sale, approximately 4,500 Motorola Solutions employees from locations throughout the world were transferred to Zebra. Assets transferred to Zebra included two earlier Motorola-acquired companies: Symbol Technologies (acquired in 2007) and Psion (acquired in 2012).
