Motorola Solutions Raises 2025 Revenue Forecast on Strong Demand for Security Products

/in /tarafından

Motorola Solutions (MSI.N) boosted its annual revenue forecast on Thursday, citing steady demand for its safety and enterprise security solutions. The company expects fiscal 2025 revenue to grow 7.7% to approximately $11.65 billion, surpassing its previous projection of 5.5% growth and exceeding analysts’ estimates of $11.41 billion.

The firm benefits from government and business investments aimed at strengthening security and communication infrastructure, particularly in sectors like healthcare, critical infrastructure, and education—areas known for their resilience. To counter tariff impacts, Motorola has implemented cost controls, optimized its supply chain, and raised prices across its portfolio.

Motorola’s product lineup includes radio communication equipment, 911 emergency call software, and body cameras widely used by law enforcement agencies worldwide. The company is also expanding its video surveillance and data analytics offerings to better serve public safety and first responders.

In July, Motorola announced plans to introduce AI labels on its safety and security products to improve transparency about AI use in these systems. The company also recently completed the $4.4 billion acquisition of wireless radio maker Silvus Technologies to enhance its market position amid rising demand.

In Q2, Motorola posted revenue of $2.77 billion, beating estimates of $2.73 billion, with adjusted earnings per share of $3.75, up from $3.24 a year earlier.

French Privacy Watchdog to Investigate DeepSeek Over AI and Data Protection

/in /tarafından

France’s data privacy authority, the CNIL, announced on Thursday that it will question DeepSeek to assess the workings of its AI system and potential privacy risks for users. The Chinese AI startup gained international attention after revealing that training its DeepSeek-V3 model required less than $6 million in Nvidia H800 computing power.

A CNIL spokesperson confirmed that its AI department is currently analyzing DeepSeek’s tool and will engage with the company to understand its system and data protection measures. The French regulator is among the most active in Europe, having previously fined tech giants like Google and Meta for privacy violations.

DeepSeek is also under scrutiny in other parts of Europe. Italy’s data protection authority recently requested details on its handling of personal data, while Ireland’s Data Protection Commission has inquired about data processing practices related to Irish users.

The European Union maintains strict privacy protections under its General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), widely regarded as one of the world’s most comprehensive data privacy laws. GDPR violations can result in fines of up to 4% of a company’s global revenue. Additionally, new EU AI regulations impose transparency obligations on high-risk AI models, with penalties ranging from 7.5 million euros (or 1.5% of turnover) to 35 million euros (or 7% of global turnover), depending on the severity of violations.

As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, DeepSeek faces mounting pressure to demonstrate compliance with European data protection standards.
