Motorola Solutions Inc at Barclays Global Technology Conference Summary

The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

Question: Timothy Long - Barclays - Analyst : <_ALACRA_META_ABSTRACT>Maybe, Mahesh, if you can just, at a high level, Motorola traditionally viewed as a radio voice company but has really grown massively in these new areas. So maybe just talk a little bit about how you're helping build that. I know you're in Boston, so there's more solid candidates to bring into the company. So just start at high level, and then we'll get into some of the specifics. Mahesh Saptharishi - Motorola Solutions Inc - Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer Sure, sure. And by the way, just to in case any of my Chicago teams or anybody else is watching, we got great talent everywhere, and it definitely helps the cost. So as Tim explained, I came in to Motorola in 2018 through the acquisition of Avigilon. And so I had the opportunity to come in with the benefit of a fairly significant video team. And one of Avigilon's claims to fame was really computer vision and analytics, really both built into the camera but also running server side. And along with that, came the people, the talent, a fairly extensive AI team that was able to take a lot of what we did with video and also make it more broadly applicable. Prior to the acquisition of Avigilon, Motorola had already taken a step towards command center software, everything from our acquisition of VESTA to Spillman and such. And what became interesting with the acquisition of video into this fold here and then subsequently, the series of acquisitions we have made is really bridging this years gap between enterprise security and public safety.

DECEMBER 11, 2024 / 5:15PM, MSI.N - Motorola Solutions Inc at Barclays Global Technology Conference If you think about it, when events happen on the premises of a Fortune 500 company, typically, the way public safety gets involved is through a 911 call. By creating automations with video early detection capabilities and then bridging that into what public safety can effectively respond through 911, through dispatch solutions, through records, through law enforcement coming in. And making sure that it's not just a single lane of information traffic, which is that phone call, but really everything that we can enable today with video directly going into PCPs. Rave allowing every individual there to have an application where they can push a panic button where they can interact more effectively with PSAPs for PSAPs to be able to talk to each other at that time of crisis. What we're able to do is really make sure that 60-second saved to save 10,000 lives per year through an effective 911 response benefits from the fact that we get that early detection, we get that better information exchanged from public safety to enterprise security.

Question: Timothy Long - Barclays - Analyst : Right. Yes. That's a great overview. Maybe you're not a finance guy, but talk a little bit about the differentiation of offering this across the products and services that you have, obviously, ability to maybe take market share because you have better technology or better ecosystem. How does that play into the kind of core strengths of Motorola and having, as you said, this 360-degree view, how does that manifest itself in kind of the business end of it?

Question: Timothy Long - Barclays - Analyst : Okay. Great, great. Maybe let's get into video a little bit. Obviously, you came from Avigilon, so near and dear to your heart. There's been a lot of other M&A that's been done putting this more complete solution together. Talk a little bit about where we are from maybe first from a hardware standpoint and like the different markets that you're hitting. And then after that, I do want to get into about a third of that business is software. So I really want to get into the video analytics software piece of the video side.

Question: Timothy Long - Barclays - Analyst : Okay. Great. Yeah, you did mention some of the software applications. I think people think video, they think a camera, not necessarily software and applications. Maybe touch on some of the key use cases, applications for the software business. Obviously, license plate recognition is pretty large anomaly detection. Maybe walk us through what are the offerings that you can offer to your customer who has a camera network to kind of upsell some of these software solutions.

Question: Timothy Long - Barclays - Analyst : Okay. Great. Maybe if we touch on command center software a little bit. You mentioned it throughout the talk here a little. But curious of the strategy there. You have some of the big modules you're kind of putting them in one system. How did that -- how is that integration? What are customers saying? And maybe on this talk a little bit about on-prem and cloud where a little more activity recently in customers looking to have more cloud-based solutions?

Question: Timothy Long - Barclays - Analyst : Okay. you worked into solving for safer. Greg would be happy that you got the new slogan plug in there. We have two minutes left. Maybe just closing out on Command Center. Just talk about the suite of products, the ability to take the strength that you have in 911 and use the common software and user interface to do better in CAD or records or any of the other modules?

Question: Timothy Long - Barclays - Analyst : Okay. Great. We're right out of time. So thank you, everyone, for joining. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.
