Motorola schrapt wireless LAN-activiteiten - Reuters
Motorola Solutions bekijkt momenteel de mogelijkheden om zijn divisie die verantwoordelijk is voor de productie van apparatuur voor draadloze netwerken af te stoten. Dat meldt Reuters op basis van bronnen die bekend zijn met de plannen. Op het gebied van wireless LAN kampt Motorola Solutions met flinke concurrentie van met name Cisco, HP en Ubiquiti Networks. De grootste klant van Motorola Solutions is de Amerikaanse overheid, die vorig jaar goed was voor 70 procent van de totaalomzet van het bedrijf. De omzet uit wireless LAN bedroeg vorig  jaar 216,7 miljoen dollar, acht procent van omzet van de enterprise unit.
