Motorola Solutions’ New Cloud Core Managed Service Helps Public Safety Agencies Accelerate Adoption of ASTRO® 25 Technology

Orlando, Fla. – (IACP, Motorola Solutions, Booth #2201) – Oct. 27, 2014 – In today's continually changing environment where criminals are adopting more sophisticated technology and public safety faces increasing needs for interoperability, it is more important than ever for agencies to stay current with the very latest mission-critical communications. ASTRO® 25 Cloud Core Managed Service from Motorola Solutions Inc. (NYSE: MSI) enables agencies to access the latest Project 25 (P25) land mobile radio (LMR) technology as well as provide a communications platform for long-term growth and new capabilities. Agencies can benefit from economies of scale and save on the overall cost of building and maintaining a P25 core solution allowing public safety personnel to focus on their day-to-day mission.

ASTRO 25 Cloud Core Managed Service is designed for agencies needing options for P25 migration or those looking for cost-effective alternatives to owning and operating their own LMR P25 Core. With a Cloud Core agreement, Motorola Solutions owns and operates the LMR core and refreshes components to keep the system enhanced with the latest releases and features. Participating agencies benefit from sharing a common ASTRO 25 core with access to a full set of capabilities they select and immediate agency interoperability.
