======================================================================

Telecommunications giant Motorola has announced it is opening up a new 
Research and Development center in Cork, Ireland. 

In a press release, the company said its center will employ 200 highly 
skilled professionals, who will be tasked with designing software for the 
companys land mobile radio (LMR) portfolio. 

Motorola's land mobile radio (LMR) systems are designed to provide reliable, 
secure, and immediate communication, particularly for public safety, 
government, and commercial organizations. Government support 

These systems encompass both analog and digital radios, and are used to 
support mission-critical operations and ensure interrupted communications 
even in the most challenging of environments. 

These systems are widely used by emergency responders, law enforcement, 
utility companies, and other sectors that require dependable communication 
solutions. 

The companys goal is to expand its MLR portfolio across other technologies in 
the coming years. Currently, Motorola has more than 13,000 LMR networks 
deployed worldwide, with many governments and large enterprises relying on 
the technology for highly secure communications in extreme conditions. 

Decade after decade, the durability of our mission-critical LMR technology 
helps protect those who protect us all, said Greg Brown, chairman and CEO, 
Motorola Solutions. Our new center in Cork will contribute to advancing our 
future vision for LMR, while building upon the collective impact of our more 
than 20,000 employees who are innovating whats next for our customers around 
the world. 

The Irish government supports the project, the company said, through IDA 
Ireland, Ireland's Foreign Direct Investment Agency. IDA Ireland is the 
agency responsible for the attraction and retention of inward foreign direct 
investment into Ireland. However, Motorola did not say in what way, and to 
what extent, IDA Ireland is supporting the project. 

The countrys government representatives seem to be pleased Motorola choose 
Cork, with Peter Burke TD, Minister for Enterprise, Trade & Employment 
describing the news as fantastic. Regional investment is a priority for 
Government and the creation of 200 highly skilled jobs in R&D is a 
significant boost for the region. The new Centre will be a welcome addition 
to the already thriving city center and will provide exciting new work 
opportunities for technology talent, Burke said. 

It is encouraging to see new investments in R&D technologies, which is very 
much in line with our National AI and Digital strategies. I want to thank 
Motorola Solutions for their continued investment in Ireland and I wish all 
the team the best with this new venture. More from TechRadar Pro Huawei ramps
