Aug 5 : Motorola Solutions raised its full-year revenue outlook above Wall Street estimates, betting on strong demand for public safety communications equipment and software.

The company, which makes radio communication equipment, 911 emergency call handling software, and body cameras widely used by law enforcement agencies, has benefited from strong demand from U.S. public safety agencies, with the D-Fend acquisition extending its capabilities into counter-drone technology.

Here are some details:
