Motorola Solutions Signs A$50 Mln Deal With Police In Victoria, Australia

(RTTNews) - Motorola Solutions (MSI) late Wednesday said it will provide a new mobility managed service to police in Victoria, Australia to help increase situational awareness, safety and productivity for frontline officers.

The holistic managed service contract is valued at more than A$50 million and will run for a minimum of five years with the potential to extend to 11 years.

The company said the service will place real-time information at the fingertips of at least 10,000 police officers equipped with iPads and iPhones. It will help them manage their daily work more safely, efficiently and productively.

The solution includes, mPol, a mobile application developed by Gridstone, the Collingwood-based mobile application developer that Motorola Solutions acquired in November, 2016.

The solution will also help reduce the duplication of data entry by officers while increasing workforce collaboration by sharing vital information between frontline personnel and their colleagues working in control rooms.

The technology will also help Victoria Police to preserve its mission-critical radio communications for essential emergency communications by removing lower priority traffic from the radio network.

This investment represents a major goal within Victoria Police's Capability Plan 2016-2025.

Motorola Solutions will lead a consortium of service providers to deliver the contract.
