Motorola Solutions announced plans to open a new Research and Development Centre in Cork, Ireland. The facility will initially focus on developing software for the company’s land mobile radio, or LMR systems, with plans to broaden its technological scope in the future. It’s projected to generate 200 highly skilled employment opportunities.
The Irish Government, through IDA Ireland, supported investments in the R&D Centre. The new facility will integrate with Motorola Solutions’ existing operations in Ireland, which delivers Ireland’s National Digital Radio Service, the country’s emergency services’ secure communications network.
Over the last decade, Motorola Solutions has allocated more than $12 billion toward R&D and strategic acquisitions. The company operates over 13,000 LMR networks globally, with the Cork centre set to play a substantial role in advancing Motorola Solutions’ LMR technology and exploring new technological avenues.
