The Days of Inventory on Hand (DOH) is a key activity ratio that measures the average number of days a company holds its inventory before it is sold. For Motorola Solutions Inc, the DOH has fluctuated over the past years, ranging from around 40 days to 90 days. A lower DOH indicates that the company is efficiently managing its inventory, while a higher DOH may suggest overstocking or slow-moving inventory.

On the other hand, the Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) ratio, which measures how long it takes for a company to collect its accounts receivable, was not provided in the data for Motorola Solutions Inc. This ratio is crucial for assessing the company's ability to collect payments from its customers promptly.

Lastly, the Number of Days of Payables ratio, which indicates how long a company takes to pay its suppliers, was also not available in the data provided. This ratio is essential in understanding the company's liquidity position and its relationships with suppliers.

Overall, while the Days of Inventory on Hand ratio provides some insights into Motorola Solutions Inc's inventory management efficiency, a complete analysis of activity ratios would require additional data on DSO and the Number of Days of Payables to fully evaluate the company's operational performance and financial health.
