How Is Motorola Solutions Positioned in CAD/RMS?
Motorola Solutions maintains strong presence in integrated hardware/software solutions, particularly where agencies need radio systems, body cameras, and dispatch software to work together.
Kansas City, Missouri approved a significant change order with Motorola for their Joint Operations Center Migration Plan. The expanded agreement includes increased system infrastructure, lifecycle maintenance, and cybersecurity costs totaling $2,824,533 over six years.
