Silvus Technologies, an LA-based defense wireless radio firm, is slated to join Motorola Solutions, a global communications company headquartered in Chicago, in an acquisition worth $4.4 billion.
Silvus develops mobile communications datalinks that leverage a software-defined waveform to enable data transmission without any fixed infrastructure. Supporting frontline operations in sectors like military and law enforcement, Silvus modernizes broadband wireless connectivity with capabilities that allow for the private and secure transmission of critical video, voice and data communications.
Motorola Solutions’ technology serves customers ranging from public safety agencies to enterprise organizations, working to help fuel collaboration that enhances the safety of communities, schools, hospitals and businesses. Its acquisition of Silvus is slated to close in Q3 or Q4 of 2025. The companies will merge their engineering teams and leverage Motorola’s global go-to-market footprint to reach more customers.
“We’re inspired by Motorola Solutions’ deep tradition of innovation,” Babak Daneshrad, Silvus CEO, said in a statement. “The idea that safety is the foundation on which better lives are built is not just a deeply held belief our companies share, but is the motivating force behind our R&D and work.”
