Tuesday, Motorola Inc. (MOT), a provider of technologies, products, and services for mobile communications, said it completed the acquisition of privately-held AirDefense, Inc., a wireless LAN security provider.
Through this acquisition, Motorola, together with AirDefense, expects to secure enterprise networks with a common platform solution providing superior indoor and outdoor wireless protection for users operating in a variety of settings, including corporate headquarters, manufacturing and distribution plants, and remote branch offices.
Schaumburg, Illinois-based Motorola said the combined company would make wireless and security synonymous for the all-wireless enterprise.
Further, Motorola said the deal would complement its assets in radio frequency planning as well as its strengths in radio frequency management.
Following the consummation of the deal, AirDefense will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola integrated into Motorola's Enterprise Mobility business.
Shares of Motorola closed Monday's trading at $6.68, down $0.95 on the NYSE.
