By Sean Patton, Published Jan 29, 2020, 09:00am EST

Motorola is best known for its radios. Now, the company has taken a step forward of integrating its 2018 Avigilon acquisition with their radios.

In this note, based on a conversation with Avigilon, we examine the details of the offering and analyze its impact on the market, including:

  • What alerts are integrated
  • What radios are integrated
  • Where is Radio Alert available
  • How much does it cost
  • What advantages to direct integration does Avigilon claim
