China based HangZhou Motorola will be shutting down the operations of its mobile factory starting next month as the company will be shifting its focus on the production of TV set top-boxes as well as broadband and mobile network equipment.

“The cell phone sector will be integrated into production lines in Tianjin Motorola after the first quarter of this year,” said Chen Lei, spokesperson, Motorola China.

“The integration of the cell phone production also helps Motorola to lower its costs as the handset industry is better off in Tianjin than Hangzhou,” said Zhang Ying, vice-president, Analysys International, a leading advisor for technology, media and telecom industries in China.
