Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic - August, 2026 - Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) today announced the successful deployment of its security and communications technology during the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games. Real-time AI video analytics and critical broadband push-to-talk communications helped secure geographically dispersed infrastructure and accelerated multi-agency emergency response times across 37 countries, 46 sports venues and hundreds of thousands of spectators.
"Securing an event of this magnitude requires the seamless synchronization of law enforcement, medical responders and private security across disparate sites,” said Lieutenant Colonel Sócrates Cuello, head of technological security for the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games as delegated by the Ministry of Defense. “In the past, our greatest operational hurdle was siloed communications, which could keep critical threat intelligence from reaching the field in time to prevent an incident. Now, our AI sensors detect anomalous acoustic activity or an unauthorized breach in a restricted zone and the system sends an alert to the radios of the nearest security personnel, turning minutes of manual investigation into seconds of active, unified response."
Unifying Operations with WAVE PTX
During the event, security personnel, medical teams and event volunteers equipped with Motorola Solutions’ TLK radios were connected via WAVE PTX, Motorola Solutions' broadband push-to-talk (PTT) subscription service. The service provided reliable connectivity across personnel and devices within the complex stadium environments, which traditionally experienced coverage gaps.
Intelligent Video Security and Sensor Technology
Motorola Solutions’ cloud-native video security suite used advanced AI-enabled analytics to continuously monitor the stadiums and detect anomalies and access breaches, enabling security teams to take action. The company’s Halo Smart Sensors further detected acoustic anomalies in private areas, such as bathrooms, to extend safety throughout event sites.
"Unifying critical communications and AI-powered video analytics enables a fundamental shift from reactive monitoring to active risk anticipation and mitigation,” said Rafael Fernandez Feo, MSSSI vice president, Channel Enterprise, Motorola Solutions Latin America. “This allowed security teams to proactively manage incidents and respond more quickly during the 2026 Games, providing the foundational resilience needed for a large-scale international event."
