Your problems, our solutions

For 89 years, Motorola Solutions has been helping people be their best in the moments that matter. It does this by providing two-way radio communications devices and infrastructure tailored to users’ needs. The company pioneered mobile communications in the 1930s with car radios and public safety networks, made the equipment that carried the first words from the moon in 1969 and in 1983 launched the world’s first commercial handheld cellular phone and system.

While this year may be one short of the company’s 90th birthday (it was originally founded by the Galvin brothers as the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation back in 1928), it is significant as it marks the 10th anniversary of the introduction of the MOTOTRBO™ digital radio platform.

The MOTOTRBO portfolio has been instrumental in enabling users’ transition from analogue to digital technologies, allowing them to benefit from improved reliability, voice quality and battery life. Since its introduction, Motorola Solutions has added features such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, job-ticketing, GPS and location tracking, dispatch applications, text messaging, and longer talk times, all supported by one of the industry’s biggest application developer programmes. The company’s commitment to MOTOTRBO can be seen by the fact that it has recently launched a new MOTOTRBO hand portable radio and a repeater, and continues to expand the platform’s capabilities with software such as WAVE, which enables MOTOTRBO users to seamlessly communicate with colleagues using smartphones, tablets or desktop computers.
