Motorola Solutions has acquired Gridstone, a privately-held technology company that develops mobility solutions for public safety agencies, governments and enterprise. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Gridstone develops mobile applications across many platforms, with a specialist capability for native applications on Apple’s iOS. The acquisition builds on Motorola Solutions’ experience in delivering essential communications and workflow solutions and services throughout Asia Pacific, adding expertise to develop customised mobility applications for the region. It is another key step towards Motorola Solutions’ vision to deliver smart public safety solutions via its Next Generation Mobile Intelligence (NGMI) architecture. NGMI delivers secure and actionable mobile data into the hands of first responders so they can make intelligent decisions to protect communities.
Iain Clarke, Motorola Solutions Corporate VP, Asia Pacific, said his company’s expertise in developing advanced mobile solutions and services would complement Gridstone’s ability to simplify complex workflow challenges through smart technology.
“In today’s public safety and enterprise environments, technologies that increase mobility are delivering enormous benefit by helping people to work more safely and efficiently,” Clarke said. “Gridstone develops mobile applications that are well-designed, easy-to-use and proven in helping organisations overcome their most complex workflow management problems. Its applications provide clear and immediate benefits for customers - from reducing manual administration tasks so police officers can spend more time in the field to automating processes to increase efficiency within industrial environments.
“Acquiring Gridstone complements our Convergence Suite of software, which enable seamless communication and enhanced awareness for teams by combining the best of digital radio networks with broadband data capabilities.’’
Gridstone CEO Jon Grant said combining the companies would provide immediate benefits and a strong foundation for growth. “Motorola Solutions develops technology solutions for vertical markets that are naturally aligned to Gridstone’s. Through our collective strengths and expertise we will instantly enhance the quality and range of services and products we both provide,” he said.
“We look forward to working with Motorola Solutions and building on our success in Australia with the backing of a global industry leader in the public safety and enterprise markets.”
Gridstone is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola Solutions. It will continue to deliver its existing contracts and grow its portfolio of products, including its public safety mobility platforms.
