Motorola

Starting out as Galvin Manufacturing Corporation in 1928, Motorola was created by Joseph Galvin and Paul Galvin. The first product sold by the fledgling company was a battery eliminator. They later changed the company’s name to Motorola when it went public. Since its beginning Motorola has been determined to stay at the forefront of communication innovation. Amongst Motorola’s historic achievements was the use of a Motorola Radio by Neil Armstrong during his famous moon walk, the creation of the first handheld cellular phone called the DynaTAC 8000x, the introduction of the first two-way pager, and more.

Motorola’s business can be separated into three divisions: Enterprise Mobility Solutions, Home and Networks Mobility and Mobile Devices.
