Motorola Solutions’ technology to support multi-state collaboration with voice and radio location roaming across agencies and jurisdictions
MELBOURNE, Australia – July 24, 2025 – Public safety agencies from multiple states have joined forces to demonstrate how Motorola Solutions’ (NYSE: MSI) mission-critical voice communications technology enables interoperable, cross-border communication and provides personnel location data to support emergency management.
“When natural disasters strike, emergency services often need to collaborate with agencies in other jurisdictions to coordinate their responses,” said Con Balaskas, managing director, Motorola Solutions Australia and New Zealand. “Interoperable communications that work reliably across state borders enhance incident awareness and collaboration for first responders to help protect communities when it matters most.”
The states will trial Motorola Solutions’ Critical Connect, a secure and scalable, cloud-based interoperability gateway that will connect their land mobile radio networks and allow radios to roam across coverage areas. The solution supports real-time voice communications across state lines, as well as location information and real-time status updates to help pinpoint resources in the field. These capabilities are essential for operational coordination and responder safety during large-scale emergencies and unplanned events.
The Proof of Concept (POC) will run for the next few months. Improving emergency communication and coordination when first responders operate across state borders supports a key recommendation from the 2020 Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements.
