MONTREAL – Bell Mobility is selling its land mobile radio networks services business to a division of Motorola Solutions for $675 million.
The deal, expected to close in the fourth quarter following regulatory and third-party approvals, is part of Bell-parent BCE Inc.‘s plan to sell $7 billion in assets to help pay down debt.
Michael Martin, president of Motorola Solutions Canada Networks Inc., says the acquisition will “protect the long-term resiliency and security of the country’s land mobile radio communications for the Canadian communities that rely on them every day.”
Land mobile radio is a push-to-talk voice communication system involving two-way radio transceivers, used both commercially and by public safety officials, such as law enforcement, fire and EMS.
Bell says it will continue to work with Motorola as a service delivery partner for the technology.
Scotiabank analyst Maher Yaghi says the sale “focuses on a legacy asset that generates stable revenue but is not considered a primary growth area and does not involve giving away core customer relationships.”
