Our story

Started programming radios for volunteer fire departments in rural Indiana.

That was 1997. Today Relay Communications operates five offices across three states, maintains three push-to-talk networks covering 45,000 square miles, and supports over 10,000 radios in the field.

The team who designs your system is the same team who answers the phone at 2am. That's the dealer difference, and it's what keeps 29-year clients coming back.

From our clients

Relationships measured in decades, not contracts.

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

3-10 days

RF planning, frequency coordination, equipment selection, and a fixed-price quote. Every component specified.

03

Deploy + Program

5-30 days

Hardware staging, installation, radio programming, phased rollout, operator training. Go live on your schedule.

04

Ongoing Support

Continuous

24/7 emergency line, preventive maintenance, firmware updates, loaner units, same-day dispatch for critical infrastructure.

Common questions

What you need to know.

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.
