NEW YORK — Motorola Inc.’s formal split into two companies today will mark the final step in the years-long breakup of a consumer-electronics-industry pioneer.
Motorola is splitting its consumer-oriented side, which makes cellphone and cable set-top boxes, from the professional business of selling police radios and bar-code scanners to government agencies and large companies. The new companies will be called Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions, respectively.
