Motorola Solutions Inc. (MSI), one of the
leaders in the lucrative U.S. Public Safety market,received a
contract worth $22 million from ComEd, an electric supply company
and a part of Exelon Corporation (EXC).
Motorola Solutions will provide 900 MHz ASTRO 25 digital trunked
radio systems, a two-way digital radio transmission system, which
offers consistently clear audio service across its footprint. Even
if there is any disruption in power supply during heavy storm, the
new technology will continue to transmit voice along with important
information to ComEd field workers, hence maintaining smooth
work-flow.
ComEd, like other utility companies, uses backdated 900 MHz land
mobile radio frequency. Therefore, implementation of this new
technology by Motorola Solutions will help ComEd to cover an
extensive area of 11,400 square miles in northern Illinois,
including the city of Chicago. Motorola’s XTL and XTS series of
digital mobile and portable radios and GTR8000 base station radios
will provide support to the new technology for gaining efficiency
in delivering high quality voice, data and GPS
support.
Motorola’sbusiness model remains compelling and we believe the
company will be able to maintain its current top-line growth going
forward, primarily due to the critical nature of the public safety
network in the U.S. and massive growth potential in the Middle
East. Furthermore, the company has entered into an agreement
with Verizon Wireless (VZ) to install a
standard-based public safety broadband network for mission-critical
operations leveraging on the nationwide LTE network of Verizon,
which we believe will act as a positive catalyst for the stock
going forward.
Despite these positive traits, we believe that slowdown in the
government expenditures due to budgetary pressures, particularly at
the state and local level, may significantly jeopardize the
company’s overall financials as the company is heavily dependent on
Government expenditures. Moreover, the recent decision of
Sprint Nextel Corporation (S) to gradually
phase-out iDEN network may also hurt the company’s profitability
going forward. We, thus, maintain our long-term Neutral
recommendation on Motorola Solutions Inc.
Currently, Motorola Solutions Inc. has a Zacks #2 Rank,
implying a short-term Buy rating.
Motorola Solutions Inc., based in Schaumburg, Illinois, is a
leading communications equipment manufacturer, with a strong market
position in bar code scanning, wireless infrastructure gear, and
government communications.
