Motorola Solutions selects Athlone's Unit as VAR in Mozambique
Motorola Solutions has been active in the African market since 1966 where it is focused on providing mission-critical communication solutions including digital two-way radio such as highly secure Terrestrial Trunked Radio or TETRA for public safety users.
Athlone Investments Ltd. reported that Motorola Solutions, a provider of mission-critical solutions and services for public safety and commercial customers, has appointed Vaninga & Investimentos Limitada, recently acquired by Athlone, as its added value reseller in Mozambique.
Vaninga, which is licensed to construct as well as operate data centres in Mozambique, would provide the backbone infrastructure, in conjunction with Motorola Solutions, to support the creation of secure wireless networks providing services to the public sector.
Boaz Or - Shraga, Africa Sales Director, Motorola Solutions, said: "As Mozambique and other Sub-Saharan countries are striving to rebuild and upgrade their telecom and IT infrastructure, we believe Athlone and Vaninga are the perfect partners for the mission. We look forward to working with Vaninga and leveraging its expertise and experience for the benefit of Mozambique and other countries."
Athlone's CEO, Ross Macdonald, noted: "Athlone, soon to be rebranded as APIO, plans to move beyond the traditional data centre model of providing hosting and co-location by adding suites of virtual servers and offering Cloud and storage solutions. With the appointment by Motorola Solutions, APIO will be capitalising on the full scope of its Mozambique licence which includes the right to provide wireless voice and data services."
