The Motorola you are familiar with is a shadow of its former self. It was an absolute titan in it's heyday, they basically created the modern electronics manufacturing ecosystem (especially in China). Developed a huge number of products across a whole number of industries. They were dominant in radio but were also damn good at all sorts of things, designed their own CPUs (some of the most loved CPUs of all time actually), the Apple Lisa and Macintosh both ran on Motorola CPUs, hell even the Next Cube used a Motorola chip. A modern equivalent would be Apple, except only if Apple was about 10-20 years ahead of everyone else. The collapse of Motorola was very much on the scale of present day Apple going bankrupt.
