Software that first responders depend on
Motorola Solutions builds the rugged mobile devices used by police, fire, EMS, and military worldwide. In these environments, software failure is not an inconvenience, it can be catastrophic.
Spritle engineers contributed to Motorola's Android AOSP customization layer, building and testing features for mission critical push to talk communication, device hardening, and enterprise device management.
Every line of code had to meet the reliability standards demanded by customers who depend on these devices in life threatening situations.
The Challenges We Were Solving
Mission-Critical Reliability
Public safety communication devices must function in extreme conditions, including temperature, water, drops, and electromagnetic interference, with zero tolerance for software failures.
Android AOSP Customization Depth
Deep OS level customization required kernel level expertise and intimate knowledge of the Android build system, a specialized skill set beyond standard mobile development.
PTT Protocol Implementation
Push to talk communication over LTE required implementing specialized protocols with sub second latency for emergency voice communication.
