West Melbourne, FL — RELM Wireless Corporation (NYSE MKT: RWC) one of the most venerable and respected American manufacturers of two-way land-mobile radios (LMR) equipment for over 65 years, has evolved into a model example of a “small giant” — a company succeeding with the mission to be great, rather than simply big.  By integrating the latest technologies, reacting directly to customer needs, and disrupting old-school pricing structures, the company has broken new ground in crucial markets for security communications in the new “preparedness economy.”

The demand for secure 2-way communications radios, as used by public, private and government agencies, has never been more acute, with heightened preparedness driving the market need to unprecedented new levels. However, an outmoded system of supply has become increasingly untenable to this exploding demand, especially in today’s budget-stretched environments. The agencies that need the radios most had been shut out of acquiring the latest technologies and those needing special modifications and customizations found themselves with few options — until RELM.

Breaking the established status quo by introducing the latest technological evolutions to market with Internet-era speed, better-than-required performance, customer-responsive engineering and pricings that reflect the natural cost savings of these evolutions, RELM is not only changing its industry, it has effectively positioned itself as the new go-to option in its space.

“There can be no room for compromise when it comes to 2-way communications, so our company mission was to remove any reason for it,” says David Storey, RELM President and CEO. “In these days where more and more lives are dependent on these technologies, too many agencies that need them find themselves in an outmoded market landscape where they are stuck between a rock and a hard place — artificially high costs versus inadequate low-cost alternatives.  The former keeps the “what’s possible” out of too many hands. The latter is something that few would opt for if they had the choice. Our approach raises the bar for everyone; highest performance and highest value. Our commitment is to be the best, not the biggest, and in these days of increased fiscal responsibilities and appreciation of artisanal quality, we’re seeing tremendous popular response to our approach and our mission.”

RELM has set new benchmarks for performance and value with its KNG (“King”) lineup of mobile and hand-held radios. The KNG Series offers the most up-to-date technologies and “outperform” specifications for mission-critical communications, at costs that are typically 25-50% lower than the market status quo. Examples include adoption of mandated technologies (such as TDMA) well before their requirement date to pre-empt obsolescence; the first touchscreen models in this market, which increase usability and speed thanks to their familiarity to the user; and the ability to work directly with customers on special modifications that may be needed for specific applications.

RELM’s long-due market disruption brings no-compromise performance and reliability to a greater number of government and public safety agencies throughout the U.S. and abroad. Proudly made in America, RELM’s KNG Series offers the no-compromise performance and features of what’s possible in the LMR market, and rivals or exceeds the best on the market in every comparable specification and quality.
