Motorola Solutions expands Silvus Technologies production capacity

Motorola Solutions has announced a US$100 million plan to scale and diversify the manufacturing and supply chain operations of its tactical communications subsidiary, Silvus Technologies.

The investment will fund a new 15,000 m² manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah that the company says will serve as a hub for high-volume production, leveraging Utah’s strong technology ecosystem and highly skilled workforce. The capacity increase will enable Silvus to scale production of its mission-critical StreamCaster MANET radios.

“As the landscape for defence technology continues to evolve, the need for resilient, high-bandwidth communications has never been more critical,” said Jack Molloy, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Motorola Solutions. “This investment, which is in addition to our expansion in Los Angeles, helps ensure that Silvus is prepared for the growing demand for their industry-leading mesh networking and electromagnetic spectrum operations solutions.

“This expansion reinforces our commitment to providing the most advanced technology to the warfighter and public safety professional.”
