History and when Motorola Solutions, Inc. was founded
Motorola Solutions was established in 2011 when Motorola Inc., originally founded in 1928, separated into Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions. Prior to the split, Motorola had been a pioneer in radio communications during World War II, mobile-communication infrastructure and early technologies that shaped global telecommunications. The restructuring allowed Motorola Solutions to concentrate exclusively on mission-critical communications and public-safety technologies.
Throughout the 2010s, the company expanded its software and video capabilities through strategic acquisitions.
These included Avigilon, which added advanced video-surveillance and AI analytics; WatchGuard for body-worn and in-car cameras; Spillman Technologies for records-management systems; and other firms specializing in command-center applications.
These acquisitions enabled Motorola Solutions to evolve from a hardware-centric communications provider into a fully integrated public-safety technology company.
The company modernized its product offerings by strengthening digital radio systems, enhancing P25 infrastructure and integrating cloud-based software for emergency-response management. Its growth strategy focused on creating a unified ecosystem combining communications, video, data analytics and command-center operations within a single platform.
From 2020 to 2024, Motorola Solutions experienced increased demand for video security, cloud-native public-safety platforms and AI-powered analytics. The company expanded managed services, strengthened cybersecurity offerings and deepened global partnerships.
At the same time, it continued to support mission-critical radio infrastructure for police, fire departments, industrial operations and critical-infrastructure organizations.
By 2024, Motorola Solutions had reaffirmed its position as a global leader in mission-critical communications and safety technology, integrating hardware, software and services into a unified platform that supports public-safety agencies and essential industries worldwide.
