Motorola Solutions registered strong growth from the Asia Pacific region in the second quarter of 2011. The region contributed 14 percent of global revenues, up from 12 percent a year ago. The growth across all Asian markets was led by good momentum in China and Australia, and seen in both enterprise and government segments.

We have been in the region since the 1970s and believe we are well-positioned for growth.
