Motorola Illegitimate Body Cam Award From Frost & Sullivan
Frost & Sullivan awards are well established as illegitimate - effectively paid for, with negligible actual diligence.
By contrast, publicly traded Motorola is one of the largest companies in video surveillance.
However, Motorola is boasting about being the winner of Frost & Sullivan's 2023 Global Product Leadership Award in the body-worn camera market.
In this post, we examine Motorola's award, Frost & Sullivan's mechanisms, and Motorola's response to IPVM's inquiry.
