Motorola Solutions announced the acquisition of Exacom, a Manchester‑based provider of cloud‑native voice and multimedia recording and logging solutions for mission‑critical communications, on March 12 2026. The deal expands Motorola’s software and services portfolio and reinforces its strategy to transform from a legacy land‑mobile radio provider into a comprehensive platform for voice, video, and data.
Exacom, founded in 1986, specializes in capturing audio, text, video, screens, and images from radio, 9‑1‑1 voice, PBX, CAD, and dispatch systems. Its technology consolidates 911 audio and radio traffic into cloud‑based or on‑premise storage, creating a single narrative of incidents that public‑safety agencies can use for evidence, training, and operational analysis.
The acquisition aligns with Motorola’s broader transformation agenda. By integrating Exacom’s recording capabilities into its Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS), Motorola can eliminate information silos and provide a centralized data layer that feeds into its Assist AI platform. This integration is expected to enhance the value of Motorola’s command‑center suite and increase recurring revenue from software and services.
Mahesh Saptharishi, EVP and CTO, said, "In a landscape where data is often fragmented, we are moving to unify the 'audible truth' of emergency calls and critical voice communication with the 'visual truth' of video." He added, "By integrating Exacom into our Digital Evidence Management System, we are helping to eliminate information silos to create a centralized data layer, ready to be efficiently transformed into actionable intelligence with Assist, our mission‑critical AI." Al Brisard, President and CEO of Exacom, noted, "Joining Motorola Solutions represents a strong affirmation of our solution path, our team and the disciplined execution that has earned the trust of public safety agencies." He also stated, "Integrating our cloud‑native recording solution with the Motorola Solutions command center suite unlocks new levels of visibility, performance and response capabilities for any kind of incident."
Motorola has pursued a series of acquisitions—Theatro, RapidDeploy, 3tc Software, Noggin, and Silvus Technologies—to build a portfolio that spans video, software, and data analytics. The Exacom deal adds a critical recording and cybersecurity capability, positioning Motorola to capture a larger share of the growing mission‑critical data platform market, which is increasingly driven by cloud‑native solutions and AI integration.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but the acquisition is expected to contribute to Motorola’s recurring revenue stream and strengthen its software and services segment, which has been a key growth driver in recent quarters. The addition of Exacom’s technology also supports Motorola’s goal of expanding margins through higher‑margin software offerings while maintaining operational leverage.
The acquisition signals Motorola’s continued commitment to building a unified, data‑centric platform for public‑safety agencies, reinforcing its competitive position and setting the stage for future growth in the mission‑critical communications market.
