International TETRA Awards Recognises Motorola Solutions´ Excellence in Two Categories: “Best TETRA Innovation” and “Best Use of TETRA in Utilities”

Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI), a leading provider of mission-critical communication solutions and services for enterprise and government customers, is pleased to announce that it has won two of the seven categories at the International TETRA Awards. The independent jury named the Motorola MTP6750 Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) portable radio with its Photograph and Intelligence Communication System as “Best TETRA Innovation.”

Together with its customer Queensland Gas Cooperation (QGC), Motorola won the category "Best Use of TETRA in Utilities" for one of the largest TETRA digital radio networks in Australia, which has enabled QGC to use the TETRA network for all of its critical communications in the field.

The award-winning Motorola MTP6750 was launched last year as the world´s first mission-critical imaging solution for frontline officers. The TETRA handheld offers an integrated 5-megapixel camera and the Photograph and Intelligence Communications System (PICS) image management solution. Through PICS, images captured on the MTP6750 can be managed, authenticated and shared within a public safety organisation´s existing workflows, enabling verification of captured images at any point and reducing the chance of evidence being deemed unusable in a prosecution.

Motorola also was named as a finalist in the Best TETRA Innovation category for ‘Making Bluetooth relevant and appropriate for mission- and business-critical users’ and the Green TETRA Award for the ‘MTS1 solar and wind power’ TETRA base station.

“It is a great pleasure to see that a highly regarded expert jury has recognized the value of our innovative Motorola MTP6750, which is the first TETRA handheld radio with an integrated 5-megapixel camera for image capture and an image management system, PICS, for users in public safety. This award marks again the leadership of Motorola in providing continuous innovation to mission-critical users.”

The International TETRA Awards, a collaboration between the TETRA and Critical Communications Association (TCCA) and TETRA Today, are designed to recognize excellence in the field of TETRA radio communications in both mission-critical and business-critical organizations and took place end of February in London.
