smooth and successful event
Gold Coast, Australia – Friday, 30 June 2017 –
Motorola Solutions (NYSE:MSI) has been chosen as
official radio communications supplier for the Gold
Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018).
The global, 11-day sporting spectacular will attract
6,600 athletes and team officials from 70 nations and
territories, 15,000 volunteers and be broadcast to a
cumulative international audience of 1.5 billion.
Ensuring an event of this scale delivers a positive

connected to seamless information while helping to
keep crowds moving and spectators and athletes
informed and safe.
The Zeon Digital network will provide reliable
communications and expansive coverage with more
than 6,000 radios to be used across the Gold Coast
and Brisbane and in other regional centres including
Townsville and Cairns.
Motorola Solutions has cemented its reputation for
supporting major events in Australia, including the G20
World Leaders’ Summit, the premier forum for
economic cooperation and decision-making, held in
Brisbane in November 2014.
Internationally, Motorola Solutions has provided
essential communications to public safety agencies
responsible for safety and security at some of the
world’s largest sporting and public events.
Commonwealth Games Minister Kate Jones today

communications supplier for the Games.

providing crucial communications support for our
emergency services and I’m pleased they’ve come on
board for the Games.
