ABT // About Relay

Started programming radios for volunteer fire departments.

That was 1997. Rural Indiana. A two-person shop with a frequency coordinator license and a van full of Kenwood portables. Today we run three coverage networks, maintain five offices, and have deployed over 10,000 radios across public safety, transportation, and industrial operations.

The team that picks up your call is the same team that designed your system, programmed your radios, and climbed the tower to install your repeater. That continuity is the product.

REV // Client Reviews

What our clients report.

Relay designed and installed our P25 system without a single day of downtime. Our deputies went from dropped calls and dead zones to crystal-clear coverage across the entire county.

Marcus Trent

Chief Deputy, Knox County Sheriff's Dept

Our drivers haul through the most rural stretches in three states. Cell coverage is hit or miss. Relay's network gives us instant communication everywhere, and our monthly cost dropped 30%.

Ray Holcomb

Fleet Manager, Tri-State Freight Lines

The team at Relay treats our radios like they're mission-critical. Because for us, they are. 14 years and counting.

Tom Navarro

Operations Director, Carolinas Health System

FAQ // Common Questions

Questions we hear on every site survey.

Can't find your answer? Call our engineering team directly.

Kenwood, Motorola, and Tait. Kenwood for construction and manufacturing. Motorola for public safety. Tait for utilities and transportation. We recommend based on your operation, not margin.

Under 50 radios: 2-4 weeks. Multi-site with repeaters and dispatch consoles: 6-12 weeks. We go live on your schedule.

Yes. Our nationwide PoC network runs on Hytera HALO over LTE. Radios roam automatically between our regional networks and cellular.

Our emergency line is answered by an engineer, not a call center. Loaner shipped overnight, remote system diagnostics run before sunrise.

Per-radio monthly pricing, like a cell phone plan but for two-way radio. No capital outlay for repeater infrastructure. Scale up or down as your fleet changes.
