Telco purchases Motorola test equipment business

Motorola Inc. has entered into an agreement to sell the equipment repair and manufacturing assets of its Motorola Manufacturing Solutions test equipment business to Telco Inc., a manufacturer of industrial, telecom, and consumer products.

Under the agreement, Telco will service, support and manufacture Motorola's-Mixed Signal Tester, Parametric Functional Tester Equipment, and Dedicated Digital Test Systems. These are members of a fully automated electronic test and measurement systems family that helps electronic manufacturers automate manufacturing.

Motorola is divesting the service and manufacturing of this equipment as part of the company's on-going restructuring to refocus the company on its core strategic communications and embedded businesses.
