Motorola MTP6000 Series TETRA Handportable Radio

This image shows a Motorola TETRA digital radio, specifically part of the MTP6000 series, customized for London Underground operations. Motorola Solutions has a long history of providing mission-critical communications for public safety and industrial sectors globally.

Motorola originated in Chicago, USA, in 1928 as the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation. Over the decades, the company split into two entities. While Motorola Mobility (the mobile phone division) was sold to Google and later Lenovo, Motorola Solutions remained an independent American company focused on public safety and enterprise communication equipment.

Manufacturing for these professional devices occurs in several global locations, including major facilities in Malaysia and Mexico, as well as final assembly or configuration in regional hubs. The device in the image features specialized software specific to Transport for London (TfL) staff for track access and protection protocols.
