Motorola Solutions focuses on mission-critical communications for first responders and enterprises. Its offerings combine rugged voice radios, body cameras, and an integrated command-center platform with video security, access control, cloud-based 911, and AI-powered analytics. The product ecosystem works as an end-to-end system: field devices capture voice, video, and data, which feed into a central command-and-control software for dispatch, situational awareness, and secure storage, enabling coordinated responses across teams. The company differentiates itself by building a connected, software-enabled ecosystem built around reliability and scale for public safety, backed by strategic acquisitions (like Avigilon) to integrate hardware, video, and analytics into one platform. Its goal is to provide a trusted, seamless flow of intelligent data across voice, video, and data to keep first responders and critical operations connected in high-stakes moments.

The Covilhã-based company currently operates in airports, bridges, motorways, petrol stations, industrial units, and commercial spaces. It serves clients in Portugal and has a subsidiary in Brazil focused on mobility and security operations. DeepNeuronic's technology will be integrated into Avigilon, Motorola Solutions' video security platform, making it available to customers in over 100 countries.

Motorola Solutions' APX NEXT XN becomes first radio to achieve NFPA 1930 certification

Motorola Solutions announced that its APX NEXT XN P25 smart radio and XVN500 remote speaker microphone are the first in the industry to achieve the National Fire Protection Association's NFPA 1930 certification. This latest standard supersedes NFPA 1802 and represents the highest level of ruggedisation with new software safety protocols. The devices underwent rigorous testing, including exposure to direct flame, heat testing to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and drop testing from 9.8 feet. The latest APX NEXT XN model adds low earth orbit satellite connectivity to LMR and broadband, extending coverage to approximately half a million square miles of the US traditionally unreachable by land-based cellular towers. Firefighters can now access voice-enabled applications including SmartQuery for agency policies and SmartTranslate for voice-to-voice translation in the field.
