Mission-critical ecosystem of technologies developed in Penang,
taken to the world
Motorola Solutions is celebrating 45 years of innovation in
Malaysia, recognising the country’s highly skilled engineering
talent and capability to deliver advanced technologies for
customers all over the world.
Motorola Solutions first established supply chain operations in
Penang, Malaysia in 1974. Today, it develops technologies across
its mission-critical technology ecosystem at the facility.
In 2014 the company opened its ‘Innoplex’ research and
development (R&D) centre in Penang, its largest R&D centre
outside of North America. Equipped with state-of-the-art
laboratories and product design and development capabilities, the
centre develops next generation Land Mobile Radio (LMR),
broadband-LTE devices and system solutions for Motorola Solutions’
customers worldwide.
Leading-edge solutions and services designed and developed in
Penang have been deployed by public safety agencies across the
world. This includes the trusted APX 8000HXE HazLoc
radio used by fire and rescue teams working in the presence of
chemicals and gases and the WAVE TLK100 Two-Way
Radio that enables coverage on nationwide cellular networks
with the ease of two-way radio communication and functionality.
The Innoplex continues to deliver a variety of innovative
services including 24/7 network monitoring, management and
guaranteed reliability for Motorola Solutions’ mission-critical
customers.
Malaysia prominent within expanding Asia Pacific talent
base
Motorola Solutions’ thriving operations in Malaysia have enabled
it to expand its Penang workforce from 10 software engineers to a
team of more than 1,700 today. These highly-skilled roles include
industrial design, software, electrical, electronics and mechanical
engineering.
Penang’s expert teams conduct rigorous compliance testing to
meet and exceed product standards all over the world while
continuing the development of new solutions in partnership with
customers.
Motorola Solutions’ rapidly growing software engineering
workforce in Asia Pacific is now approaching 2,000. This includes
160 video analytics and AI specialists in Vietnam added through the
recent acquisition of VaaS and 60 mobile applications
developers with Gridstone in Australia.
“Motorola Solutions continues to evolve its mission-critical
ecosystem of technologies across voice, video security, software
and managed services. Our highly skilled teams in Malaysia play a
significant role in developing these technologies and accelerating
their adoption all over the world,” said John Andersen, deputy
managing director of the Motorola Solutions Penang Operations and
Design Centre.
“We are proud to have extended our journey to 45 years and look
forward to continuing to take Malaysian innovation to the world,”
he said.
Through its charitable arm, the Motorola Solutions Foundation,
the company has provided more than USD $700,000 to support
Malaysian initiatives to advance education and research within
STEM-related fields. This includes the Penang Science Cluster which
educates more than 3,000 students and 300 teachers from 75 schools
on design thinking process, coding and electronics.
