As a Motorola Platinum Partner, we put out feelers just for the sake of self-preservation when it comes to news from Chicago, where the Motorola HQ worldwide is located. 

Today, exciting news reaches us: Motorola Solutions takes over one of the leading manufacturers of End-to-End video security solutions. In its segment, IndigoVision is not only a hardware manufacturer but also a software developer, among other things for automatic detection of body temperature, an interesting feature due to the COVID 19 pandemic.

The synergies resulting from these areas could be even more interesting. It should be noted that Motorola radios, especially TETRA radios but also increasingly DMR radios, are very often used in safety-critical areas - e.g. in airports or by security forces.

For several years now, we have recognised that Motorola is increasingly trying to cover areas other than pure radio communication. Body cams, interesting dispatcher solutions and the networking of the various technologies are increasingly becoming the focus of the group.

So far the assessment of Spreenauten GmbH - let Motorola have its say:

CHICAGO - 17 June 2020 - Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) today announced that it has completed its acquisition of IndigoVision, a UK-based provider of End-to-End video security solutions.

Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, IndigoVision develops complete End-to-End video security solutions, including cameras, video management software, encoders and storage devices. 

The acquisition demonstrates Motorola Solutions' continued investment in video security and analytics and reinforces the company's strategy to become a leading provider of next generation End-to-End video security solutions. IndigoVision's products will complement Motorola Solutions' existing video portfolio, which includes fixed cameras, in-car and body-worn cameras (body cams) and advanced analytics and software, and will provide enhanced market reach to a broader customer base.

"We share IndigoVision's commitment to providing End-to-End video security solutions that increase security and efficiency," said John Kedzierski, senior vice president, Video Security and Analytics, Motorola Solutions.
