Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI), announced that Electcoms Berhad, the largest trunk radio system operator and service provider in Malaysia has implemented MOTOTRBO™ Digital Radio System to benefit trunk radio users in Malaysia who can subscribe to Electcoms communication services.

Motorola Solutions, the leading provider of business and mission-critical communication solutions and services for enterprise and government customers has successfully deployed its MOTOTRBO™ Digital Radio Systemfor Electcoms which will provide reliable coverage across the west belt of Peninsular Malaysia from Padang Besar to Johor Bahru.

The decision by Electcoms to implement MOTOTRBO™ 's digital radio system is timely and aligned to efforts by Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to migrate all public trunk operators from the analog frequency of 800Mhz to a digital frequency of 410-430MHZ by end of the 2015 to ensure better efficiency for users.

Dato' Ir. Ong Boon Kheng, Managing Director, Electcoms Berhad
"While trunked radio communication continues to be the preferred communication channel for many niche users in our market, the ability for anyone to tap into analog channels created a security concern for our users who required a secure and reliable mode of communication. We choose MOTOTRBO™ Connect Plus as this digital system allows us to customize deployment according to our business needs and also enables a variety of applications. By moving into the digital technology, we will be able to offer trunk radio users in Malaysia advanced and diverse applications and most importantly enhanced connectivity, living up to our commitment to provide our customers innovative yet reliable services in communications."
