Motorola Acquires Location-Based Mobile Software Startup Aloqa

Motorola this morning announced that it has bought Aloqa, a privately-held startup that develops location-based software and technologies designed to enable the discovery of relevant web content by mobile smartphone users.

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Aloqa was venture-backed; the company raised $1.5 million in Series A funding from multiple angel investors and VC firm Wellington Partners a little over a year ago.

Motorola says it will use Aloqa's expertise to enhance MOTOBLUR, which delivers customized content to mobile device homescreens, with a context-aware platform and related services.
