Item 1: Business
General
We design, manufacture, and sell communications infrastructure, devices, system software and applications, and provide
services associated with their use. Our products and services are designed to help our government and enterprise customers
improve their operations through increased effectiveness and efficiency of their mobile workforce and can be found in a wide
range of workplaces, from the retail floor to the warehouse floor, and from the small town police station to the most secure
government offices.
We conduct our businesses globally and manage them by product lines. Our broad lines of products are categorized into
two segments, which are:
Government: The Government segment includes public safety communications systems, professional and
commercial two-way communication systems, and the devices, system software and applications that are associated
with these products. Service revenues included in the Government segment are primarily those associated with the
design, installation, maintenance and optimization of equipment for communication systems, as well as lifecycle
management solutions and a portfolio of managed system services.
Enterprise: The Enterprise segment includes rugged and enterprise-grade mobile computers and tablets, laser/
imaging/radio frequency identification (“RFID”) based data capture products, wireless local area network (“WLAN”)
and integrated digital enhanced network (“iDEN”) infrastructure, software and applications that are associated with
these products. Enterprise service revenues include maintenance, integration, and device and network management.
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware as the successor to an Illinois corporation, Motorola, Inc.,
organized in 1928. We changed our name from Motorola, Inc. to Motorola Solutions, Inc. on January 4, 2011. Our principal
executive offices are located at 1303 East Algonquin Road, Schaumburg, Illinois 60196.
Government Segment
The Government segment's products and services are sold to a wide range of customers, including government, public
safety and first-responder agencies, municipalities and commercial and industrial customers who operate private
communications networks and manage a mobile workforce. In 2013, the Government segment's net sales represented
approximately 69% of Motorola Solutions’ consolidated net sales.
Our Industry, Products, and Services
The Government segment has the following principal product lines:
Public Safety Radio Systems: We offer an extensive portfolio of network infrastructure, devices, system software and
applications, and provide services based on standards, including our "ASTRO" products, which meet the Association of Public-
Safety Communications Officials Project 25 (“APCO P25”) standard, and our "Dimetra" products which meet the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (“ETSI”) Terrestrial Trunked Radio (“TETRA”) standard, as well as broadband
technologies (Long-Term Evolution (“LTE”) and WiFi). In addition, we offer critical system software and applications and the
ability to integrate application platforms in the public safety command center, including voice, computer aided dispatch, and
multimedia, including video.
Professional & Commercial Radio Systems ("PCR"): We offer an extensive portfolio of radios and communication
systems to enhance productivity and safety for mobile and field workers in the hospitality, education, manufacturing,
transportation, utilities and retail industries. Our products offer a broad range of price points, functionality and form factors to
meet varying customer needs. Our digital line of MOTOTRBO products meet the open Digital Mobile Radio ("DMR")
standard developed by ETSI.
