Silvus Technologies, based in Los Angeles, specialises in high-speed, software-defined MANET systems that enable secure data, video, and voice communications without reliance on fixed infrastructure. Its technology is designed to operate in the most challenging environments, supporting military, autonomous systems, law enforcement, and enterprise customers globally.
Silvus’ network devices form large, scalable, self-healing networks that can adapt to continuous movement and connect people, devices, and nodes over large distances. These systems support bandwidth-heavy technologies such as video, sensors, and drones, ensuring reliable communications on the frontline.
“Safety at our front doors starts with safety on our front lines,” said Greg Brown, chairman and CEO, Motorola Solutions. “This acquisition underscores our unwavering conviction that technology is the bedrock for protecting communities, securing borders and defending against today’s ever evolving threats, whether in the air, on the ground or in the water.”
Silvus brings over two decades of research and development in MANET technologies, including advanced software algorithms that maximise throughput, increase network capacity, and reduce vulnerability to jamming and interception. Motorola Solutions plans to integrate Silvus’ engineering capabilities with its global market reach to accelerate growth and innovation.
“We’re inspired by Motorola Solutions’ deep tradition of innovation,” said Babak Daneshrad, PhD, CEO, Silvus Technologies. “The idea that safety is the foundation on which better lives are built is not just a deeply held belief our companies share, but is the motivating force behind our R&D and work.”
Daneshrad also expressed appreciation for the company’s investment partner, saying, “I want to thank TJC for their guidance and support on our journey.” Erik Fagan, Partner and Head of Industrial Technology at TJC, added, “It has been a privilege to partner with Babak and the Silvus team, and see their relentless dedication result in disruptive technological advances and safer, more resilient communications for their critical customer base.”
