Motorola Acquires RadioFrame Networks' iDEN Business
SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. today announced the acquisition of RadioFrame Networks' iDEN business. RadioFrame is a provider of lower cost, power efficient iDEN technology. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. RadioFrame Networks' iDEN business will be integrated into Motorola's Home & Networks Mobility business.
Motorola's proprietary iDEN solution has proven to be an enduring cellular technology due to its innovative and differentiated end-user fast dispatch service and enterprise optimized talk-groups. RadioFrame's iDEN products will further enhance Motorola's portfolio for multi-channel base stations optimized to support non-contiguous spectrum allocations in the special mobile radio (SMR) business that are especially common outside North America.
For Motorola's iDEN customers, RadioFrame's base stations can flexibly manage non-contiguous spectrum channels, and its technology offers a lower cost architecture with a highly efficient use of power amplifiers, a smaller physical footprint and more flexibility in site management.
