Motorola Solutions Buys Emergency CallWorks

(RTTNews) - Motorola Solutions, Inc. (MSI) said Thursday that it has bought Emergency CallWorks, a privately held provider of Next-Generation 9-1-1 call-taking software for public safety.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Founded in 2006, Emergency CallWorks is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama.

NG9-1-1 systems help police, fire and emergency medical teams better manage critical incidents by allowing more information to flow seamlessly from the public, through a 911 network and command center, to emergency personnel. Transforming situational awareness for officers on the front line can ultimately improve safety for both the public and first responders.

"The acquisition of Emergency CallWorks reinforces Motorola Solutions' commitment to helping its customers - from the largest state government to the smallest municipality - realize the full potential of NG9-1-1," said Bob Schassler, executive vice president, Solutions and Services, Motorola Solutions.
