Motorola, Schaumburg, IL, appointed Marketronics of Sunrise, FL to distribute its line of professional radios, focusing on the South Florida market. We can only hope that Marketronics’ board members don’t decide to recount their vote to sign the contract.
So now they think they can conquer space, too, huh? Motorola sent its advanced RF communications equipment to space on the space shuttle Discovery. The equipment will be used in linking the International Space Station to Earth. Planetary two-way radio is so five minutes ago.
COMARCO, Irvine, CA, acquired EDX Engineering, Eugene, OR. COMARCO plans to operate EDX as a division of Comarco Wireless Technologies, and it will retain the EDX name.
Racal Communications, Rockville, MD, won a contract to supply the U.S. Marine Corps with radio headsets to be used during military missions. The headsets were tested during “urban warrior exercises” at the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, so they must be tough.
The General Services Administration awarded Klein Wireless, Escondido, CA, a two-year contract to provide the U.S. government with wireless products and services. The contract has a maximum value of $48 million, and it is extendable to five years.
HTE, Lake Mary, FL, and PSG, Orlando, FL, kissed, made up and agreed to end litigation, with HTE agreeing to remarket PSG’s Pocket Cop and PSG agreeing to stop developing products in direct competition with HTE. Ahhh, the holidays. They bring out the best in us all.
