Motorola Reshuffles Broadband Deck
By Jeff Baumgartner -- Multichannel News, 2/1/2001 4:55:00 AM
Motorola Broadband Communications Sector said it has reorganized the company into two business groups -- Internet-protocol systems and the entertainment sector -- and it has promoted David Robinson to lead the way.
Robinson joined General Instrument Corp. in 1983. GI merged with Motorola last year.
Motorola Broadband said its new corporate structure is designed to better serve cable customers, to broaden its broadband-technology scope and to narrow its association with the company's Global Telecommunications Solutions and Commercial and Industrial Solutions sectors.
All of those divisions now fall under Motorola's recently formed Networks Sector, which handles the company's personal, broadband and wireless-networking efforts. Ed Breen, former head of Motorola Broadband and GI, helms the company's Networks Sector.
Motorola's IP Systems Group, headed by senior vice president and general manager Dan Moloney, now handles the company's cable-modem, telephony and home-networking efforts.
The transmission side of Motorola's business will focus on hybrid fiber-coaxial technologies for voice, video and data communications, including radio-frequency equipment, optical headends, nodes and other network gear. Corporate vice president and general manager Bick Remmey will continue to oversee the unit, the company said.
The company's entertainment division, meanwhile, will be comprised of Motorola's Satellite & Broadcast Network Systems unit, Worldwide Interactive Systems division and DigiCable, a new unit focused on the North American digital-cable market.
