Since 1928, Motorola has been committed to innovation in communications and electronics. Our company has achieved many milestones in its 85-plus year history. We pioneered mobile communications in the 1930s with car radios and public safety networks. We made the equipment that carried the first words from the moon in 1969. In 1983 we led the communications revolution with the first commercial handheld cellular phone and system. Today, as a global industry leader, excellence in innovation continues to shape our future.

Our mission-critical design philosophy led to our new High Velocity Human Factors investigation, an area of cognitive research that helps us develop products for first responders by working with them in crisis situations to study their communication needs. We take what we learn in the field and bring it back to the lab to create products that will function under extreme conditions and networks that will reliably support those products.
