Motorola, Inc.
A maker of radios, cameras, and software that police, fire crews, and other emergency responders rely on to talk, see, and coordinate. The company traces its roots to Chicago's Galvin Manufacturing Corporation, founded in 1928, and the "Motorola" name was coined in 1930 by blending "motor" with "-ola" to mean sound in motion for its new car radios. It split from the consumer phone business in 2011, and during World War II its engineers built the first "walkie-talkie" so soldiers could keep in touch on foot.
