This is still poorly referenced but I'd love to see if others have anything good to contribute to this! Dmod (talk) 03:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds like this was written by some Motorola marketroid rather than a real Wikipedia editor. Can we please flag this as such? 70.36.17.243 (talk) 19:05, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Motobridge, the topic of the blog referenced in the Boston Marathon bombing, is an audio and signaling matrix which functions to connect disparate systems together. It is NOT "ASTRO," NOR IS IT "P25." While P25 "Astro" may have been an element to one or more agencies in the patched matrix, the claim that it was a unified system is misleading. Further, referencing Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy, these events affected a large area with multiple served agencies using multiple disparate platforms. The assertion is hyperbolic and misleading. There is no mention of the historic origin of the Astro name as it relates to its Hanna-Barbera origins, or the discontinued use of Lukasfilm-based Motorola project code names, i.e., Jedi, Skywalker, Saber, and Droid. Finally, "The ASTRO 25 digital radio system provides superior audio quality..." Subjective. Superior to what, exactly? Quantification? Methodology? Says who?
