Motorola
Home, a company known for the manufacture of decoders for cable TV companies, and not part of the catalog of Google. The firm was sold to Arris Group by 2,350 million dollars in a transaction involving cash and shares.
Google’s decision to sell Motorola Home was striking. This business was always more profitable than the mobile devices division of Motorola Mobility, which has suffered huge losses for several quarters. Clearly priorities Mountain View giant is not going to change easily.
Arris Group
Motorola Home not only bought but also obtained licenses to various patents of Motorola Mobility. Therefore disbursed 2,050 million dollars in cash and $ 300 million in common stock to Google. Thanks to the transaction Californians became masters of almost 16 percent of Arris.
According to the official statement, Arris and Motorola Home will have a global presence with more than 500 million customers in 70 countries. The transaction will be completed during the second quarter of 2013, and that the parties involved will have to wait for the approval of regulators.
The feeling remains that Google could make maximum use Motorola Home , especially when taking into account its efforts to enhance the scope of Google TV.

What rumored for a long time finally came true: Google started the restructuring of Motorola Mobility. Executives at the company acquired 12,500 million announced the dismissal of 4 000 workers . But this was not the only drastic measure because it also defined the closure of one third of its 94 offices.
Henceforth the company is dedicated to the development of devices and WIN few will leave the low-end . According to Dennis Woodside, CEO of Motorola, the company will focus on smartphones with long battery life and better sensors photo. Also working on new detection technologies and launch new voice campaigns. Restructuring of Motorola Mobility saw it coming, because the economic losses of the company were growing. According to the Google numbers in the second quarter, Motorola Mobility had operating losses of 233 million. Employees affected by layoffs and retirement packages will be relocated to other companies. It is clear that, by themselves,
layoffs will not solve the problems of Motorola Mobility . Google should work hard to relocate the company on track. Exclusive dedication to high-end smartphones is a change that has great potential, especially if you think in future Nexus devices. Track | Venture Beat.

In August last year, Google surprised with the purchase of Motorola, a play in which he invested no less than 12,500 million dollars. From the beginning we knew that the Mountain View main objective of the acquisition was to get their hands on the vast catalog of patents owned by Motorola.
In the last hours rather specific rumors surfaced that mention the possibility Google
that sell the handset business of Motorola Mobility Huawei . The information was disclosed by a report published by the online version of
The Wall Street Journal , although no official confirmation by the California firm. Apparently those of Mountain View would have made the first contacts with the Asian corporation to offer cell phone division belonging to Motorola Mobility. Although no numbers were mentioned in
The Verge say Google wants “a big figure” to close the deal . So far everything is a rumor but it would not be surprising that a reality. Recall also that recently met Google’s intention to get rid of the Motorola division responsible for creating decoders for cable TV. Anyway the last word has not been said. If Google’s real intention is to make Motorola Mobility in a profitable business (and not only use its catalog of 17 000 patents) will have to plan
a very aggressive strategy and implement it as soon as possible.

official report indicates that Motorola Mobility will continue to operate as a separate business and not as a simple hardware annex for the signing of the big G. In a posting made on the official blog, Larry Page explained that this decision was made after watching the “total commitment” that the company took a native of Chicago with Android.
We’ll have to see what happens between Mountain View and other associated firms like HTC and Samsung. It is unlikely to be inconvenienced by the new purchase of Google, although it is quite clear that Motorola Mobility will have exclusive for any new release to perform the signature.
How long until we see the new representative of the Nexus family with the Motorola logo in its structure? At the moment it is impossible to know, but we can begin to delude.
