Motorola to make 220MHz product for Aerwav
Motorola, Schaumburg, IL, and Aerwav, New York, have announced an agreement through which Motorola will design, manufacture and market infrastructure, portable and mobile two-way radio products for use in the 220MHz band.
“This event marks Motorola’s first ever entry into the 220MHz band,” said Ken Notter, Motorola Communications and Electronics vice president.
“Our agreement with Motorola establishes the type of strategic relationship that will help us advance our spectrum-leasing model,” said Robert Shiver, Aerwav chairman.
Offering two-way trunked radio features such as group dispatch, one-to-one selective calling, wide-area seamless roaming and efficient channel use, the Motorola products will be suitable for a wide cross-section of markets, according to a Motorola press release. Motorola expects to begin introducing its 220MHz products in the second half of 2002. Both companies will market and distribute these communications products directly to end users, as well as through Motorola’s nationwide network of dealers.
