Motorola has acquired Futurecom, a provider of radio coverage extension solutions for public safety agencies, based in Ontario, Canada.

Futurecom designs and manufactures in-vehicle, fixed and portable radio frequency (RF) repeaters and extenders exclusively for Motorola Solutions.

The products are critically important to public safety agencies, serving as vital communication “hotspots” to extend and enhance land mobile radio coverage across vast and remote areas without nearby radio towers, according to Motorola.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
