CHICAGO, SALT LAKE CITY AND LOS ANGELES – May 14, 2026 — Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) today announced a $100 million plan to scale and diversify the manufacturing and supply chain operations of Silvus Technologies, a global leader in advanced tactical networking and electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO).
The investment is anchored by a new, 165,000 square-foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. This site will serve as a hub for high-volume production, leveraging Utah’s strong technology ecosystem and highly skilled workforce.
The expansion is anticipated to create 200 new roles. This capacity increase will enable Silvus to scale production of its mission-critical StreamCaster MANET radios, while continuing to innovate and uphold the rigorous quality standards that users in the defense, law enforcement and public safety industries depend on.
“As the landscape for defense technology continues to evolve, the need for resilient, high-bandwidth communications has never been more critical,” said Jack Molloy, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Motorola Solutions. “This investment, which is in addition to our expansion in Los Angeles, helps ensure that Silvus is prepared for the growing demand for their industry-leading mesh networking and electromagnetic spectrum operations solutions. This expansion reinforces our commitment to providing the most advanced technology to the warfighter and public safety professional.”
The investment is supported by the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development, and the Utah Inland Port Authority. The selection of Salt Lake City for the flagship purpose-built manufacturing facility underscores Utah’s emergence as a premier destination for aerospace, defense and technology employers.
“We are excited to welcome this significant expansion of Motorola Solutions’ Silvus Technologies operations to Utah,” said Utah Governor Spencer J. Cox. “Utah has built a reputation for developing top talent and supporting companies that are advancing America’s security and technological leadership. Motorola Solutions’ investment will create high-quality jobs and strengthen Utah’s growing role in aerospace, defense and advanced communications manufacturing.”
