Public-Safety agencies, dealers ask for repair exception to proposed Hytera sanctions

According to Radioresource Magazine, four US public-safety agencies (Washington County (Missouri) Central Dispatch/911, Ludlow (Massachusetts) Police Department, Weston (Connecticut) Police Department and Knox County (Maine) Regional Communications Center) filed a joint public interest statement supporting Hytera Communications in the patent infringement lawsuit Motorola Solutions filed against Hytera with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC).

“We urge the commission to consider the heavy public interest that is at stake — including the potential for harm to the public health, welfare and safety of our communities — as the commission exercises its public mandate under Section 1337,” the filing said. The public-safety and dealer filings argued that Hytera and its dealers should be allowed to repair existing Hytera systems even if the commission implements the LEO and CDO orders.
