The latest transfer accentuates the strong relationship GD California and Motorola ECC have developed over the years. This is a partnership that provide benefits to all parties involved. Motorola ECC gets an outstanding End of Life program which allows them ongoing support of customers who cannot migrate to the latest leading edge technology products. GD California, a company exclusively devoted to legacy products, extends its line of EOL products. The major beneficiaries however, are the customers who cannot afford to make a transition to the latest technology. Through this agreement they have a bridge to migrate to new technology at their own pace.
