Motorola Solutions has agreed to purchase the land mobile radio networks service business from Bell Mobility for C$675 million.
Announced by Motorola’s Canadian subsidiary late last week, the deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026 following regulatory clearance.
Now, this deal may look a lot larger than it actually is. The two companies have been working together on this for more than 30 years, managing the secure radio networks that Canadian emergency services and businesses rely on every day.
Even with Motorola taking over management of the network itself, Bell isn’t completely stepping away. The telecom giant is staying on as a key delivery service partner, maintaining the three-decade-long partnership.
To add some context, land mobile radios are essentially the communication tools used by first responders and industries that depend on reliable, uninterrupted signals. By moving all assets to Motorola, the company can more tightly control the hardware and technology these services need.
