Motorola has announced the acquisition of RadioFrame Networks' iDEN business, which will be integrated into Motorola's Home & Networks Mobility business.

Motorola said that RadioFrame's iDEN products will enhance its portfolio for multi-channel base stations optimized to support non-contiguous spectrum allocations in the special mobile radio (SMR) business that are especially common outside North America.

For Motorola's iDEN customers, RadioFrame's base stations can flexibly manage non-contiguous spectrum channels, and its technology offers a lower cost architecture with a highly efficient use of power amplifiers, a smaller physical footprint and more flexibility in site management. RadioFrame's iDEN technology also offers lower power consumption, lowering operating expenses.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
