Motorola Solutions and Sierra Wireless Provide Broadband Communications for First Responders on the Road

Motorola Solutions products will work seamlessly with Sierra
Wireless’ AirLink® in-vehicle routers for mission-critical LTE data
sharing and communications
When first responders are on the road, they need to be able to
share data in real time, regardless of where the mission takes
them. Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) is teaming up with
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) to deliver LTE broadband
in-vehicle communications as part of its integrated platform for
mission-critical communications.
Incorporating Sierra Wireless’ AirLink LTE in-vehicle routers
into Motorola Solutions’ offerings will allow police officers,
firefighters and emergency medical personnel to securely share data
while en route to or at the scene of an incident. Today, Motorola
Solutions is offering the AirLink MG90 and MP70 LTE-A Pro routers
that work on any commercial broadband network. They are also
FirstNet Ready™ to operate on the network being built by AT&T
in public-private partnership with the First Responder Network
Authority (FirstNet Authority).
With this technology, first responders will have the ability to
create secure Wi-Fi hot spots nearly anywhere. This will allow them
to set up mobile workstations for fast access to agency
information, including key databases and systems. They can also
share pictures and videos of what’s happening with arriving
personnel, as well as with specialists who can’t be at the
scene.
“Working with Sierra Wireless, we’ll be providing first
responders with in-vehicle broadband communications that will work
seamlessly with several of our product offerings,” said Scott
Mottonen, Motorola Solutions vice president of Devices. “For
example, users of our Si500 body-worn camera will have the ability
to securely upload videos from their vehicles, saving precious time
to share critical information with the command center.”
Motorola Solutions APX™ two-way radios can also be connected to
Sierra Wireless routers to offload data applications.
Data-intensive exchanges – such as updating an APX radio’s software
or securely changing encryption keys – can be rerouted from a
Project 25 (P25) radio network to a broadband network for improved
speed and responsiveness.
“Together, we’re offering first responders tightly integrated,
proven communications solutions that will give them the tools they
need to respond to emergencies safely and effectively and to save
lives,” said Tom Mueller, vice president, Product Line Management,
Sierra Wireless. “For 25 years, Sierra Wireless has been enabling
secure, reliable communications systems for public safety
organizations. We’re proud to work with Motorola Solutions to
continue advancing first responders’ communications
capabilities.”
Sierra Wireless’ end-to-end network management enables
simplified, remote and simultaneous real-time configuration,
control and troubleshooting of Sierra Wireless in-vehicle routers,
connected mobile assets and mission critical applications.
