Motorola will also present its award winning WLAN solution for businesses.”

Carlos Ferraz, general manager for Motorola Solutions Enterprise in Africa , noted that Motorola Solutions' recent Psion acquisition for $200 million has enabled it to flesh out its mobile computing portfolio and gain deep expertise in the manufacturing, industrial and supply chain sectors where Psion has traditionally been very strong.

He stated that the expanded lines of solutions will support the needs of Nigeria's developing business sector.
