The once unified wireless network manufacturer Motorola is eying a formal split between their Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions divisions. The move would purportedly take place in early 2011 according to Motorola’s Co-CEO Greg Brown and allow the two divisions to focus on unique segments.
Following the split, Brown expects the Solutions division to grow four to five percent in 2011 with a primary focus on wireless technology for business and government. The Mobility division on the other hand, would focus on mobility related business- ensuring the DROID/Milestone line up of smart phones lives long and prospers.
So has Motorola made the right step to separate the two divisions or is the move just another attempt to pad the pocketbooks and separate the Mobility segment from the less successful parts of their business?
