| 00:15 | Yes. We purchased Motorola Solutions that we will not for a while in our dividend growth strategy and more recently in our North American equity strategy. |
| 00:24 | So the company provides mission critical communication systems to public safety and commercial customers and so as an example during Hurricane Irma in Florida the Public Safety Service saw no sites down no outages. All communications worked flawlessly and I see that that's very important to the company is using its dominant position to more than double its addressable market as they've been investments into related offerings over the last few years such as video and command center software. |
| 00:54 | And these investments have started to pay off with the company recently recording a record backlog. Margins have also started to move meaningfully higher as these are higher margin businesses and the growth runway is significant. With a billion in revenue vs. thirty nine billion dollar market opportunity and market demand is strong given heightened demand for security and public safety an antiquated command center offering. So we think it's still early stages in this story and expect a much higher share price over the next several years. |
