  • Brown told Jim Cramer there’s a private-network radio upgrade cycle that will boost the company’s business in the coming years.
  • “Those radios refresh every seven years. And we’re in the first or second inning radio refresh here in North America — so New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, L.A., they’re Motorola,” Brown said. 
  • “The demand is the best, record backlog. The funding is the best, and the innovation coming out of this company and the acquisitions we’re making, there’s a lot of room to run,” Brown added.
