Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) is a global provider of public safety, government, defense, and enterprise security solutions, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and operating primarily in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other international markets. The company operates through two main segments: Products and Systems Integration, which supplies infrastructure, devices (including two-way radios), video security, and access control technologies; and Software and Services, which delivers command center software, unified communications, managed services, and cybersecurity support. Its customers span a wide range of sectors, including law enforcement, fire and rescue, military and defense, utilities, healthcare, education, and retail, among others.
Founded in 1928 and rebranded from Motorola, Inc. to Motorola Solutions, Inc. in January 2011, the company has a long history rooted in the communications equipment industry and now focuses almost exclusively on mission-critical communications and video security for professional and government users. As a large-cap stock in the Information Technology sector with a market capitalization of approximately $74 billion, Motorola Solutions is one of the larger pure-play providers of land mobile radio (LMR) systems, a niche where it competes with firms such as L3Harris Technologies and Hytera, serving a customer base that relies on highly reliable, secure communications infrastructure.
