If you know anything about the world of radio communication and two way radio then there’s every chance you’ll know the name of Motorola. In fact, even if you’re not in the industry the name of Motorola is a global brand with a well earned reputation for quality and reliability.
The company was founded by Paul V. Galvin as the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation, in Chicago, Illinois, in 1928. Its first product was a "battery eliminator," allowing consumers to operate radios directly from household current instead of the batteries supplied with early models.
Today, Motorola is harnessing the power of wireless, broadband and the Internet to deliver embedded chip system level and end-to-end network communication solutions for the individual, work team, vehicle and home.
A Fortune 100 company with global presence and impact, Motorola had sales of US$42.8 billion in 2006.
That’s all well and good but what do Motorola know about Two Way Radios? And perhaps more importantly is their standing as market leaders truly justified?
Well I could put on my “I hate big corporations” hat and tell you how companies like Motorola, Google and Coca Cola are taking over the world and how they make it hard for smaller companies to survive. However, and this is a pretty big however, in my experience Motorola are good at what they do!
Motorola provide radio equipment that is reliable, affordable and suits a wide variety of businesses and industries. From their Motorola GP and Motorola GM Professional series which since its launch in 1999 has sold nearly 4.5 million units to a number of licence free radios with a range of up to 8 km (5 miles) for analogue and 10 km (6.5 miles) for digital, these Motorola radios are the perfect answer for business owners who want to stay in touch with colleagues.
Included in the licence free range from Motorola is the award winning Motorola XTN446 (Motorola 446) which includes a NiMH rechargeable battery, 8 channels and up to 24 hours battery life (A full review of the Motorola XTN446 Radio will follow shortly).

In summing up then, Motorola are a major player in the world of 2 way radio communications and they are so with good reason.
Are Motorola Radios the best? Are Motorola are the best radio communications company? Well in my view the answers would be sometimes. The likes of Kenwood and ICOM may not be on the same scale as Motorola but each has a superb range of radio equipment and therefore depending on your needs might claim to be the best radio communications company in the world. Until such time as a definitive answer to the question of “who is best?” is found then in my humble opinion, you can’t go far wrong with Motorola.
