China-Based Hytera Charged With Stealing Trade Secrets From Motorola Solutions

 

A U.S. indictment alleges a China-based telecommunications company conspired to steal digital mobile radio technology developed by Motorola Solutions Inc.

 

The 21-count indictment, partially unsealed in federal court in Chicago on Monday, alleges that Shenzhen, China-based Hytera Communications Corp. hired Motorola Solutions employees and instructed them to steal proprietary information from Motorola on its DMR technology while employed there. The technology is used in radios referred to as walkie-talkies.

 

Calls and emails placed to Hytera weren’t immediately returned.

 

Prosecutors allege that from 2007 to 2020, the employees recruited by Hytera accessed trade secrets from Motorola’s internal database and sent emails that described their intention to use the technical knowledge gained there to help Hytera.

Mystery lingers over shaking, loud booms reported in N.J.

 

Officials have been unable to confirm the source of the mysterious booms and vibrations that were reported by many people across southern and central New Jersey Tuesday afternoon.

 

No earthquakes were detected in or near the Garden State, no thunderstorms were in the area, and nearby military bases say they had no planes flying at supersonic speeds when the booms were heard.

 

Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst was scheduled to conduct weapons tests at its base in Burlington County Tuesday, according to the agency’s Facebook page. However, the base’s public affairs office has not yet responded to questions about whether the testing may have caused the widespread booms and shaking that was reported from Mercer and Middlesex counties down to Salem and Cape May.

 

A “noise calendar” on the base’s Facebook page indicates the Rotary Wing Aerial Gunnery unit was scheduled to conduct tests that may include .50-caliber weapons, rocket fire or rotary cannons Tuesday, and those could create “moderate noise.”

 

But the calendar doesn’t indicate the times of the testing.

 

Update (2:10 p.m. Wednesday): A spokeswoman for Joint Base McGuire said she checked with a base coordinator “and he did not see anything on the training schedule that would generate (a) loud booming noise” Tuesday afternoon. She noted that the training dates listed on the Facebook calendar are general projections and aren’t set in stone.
