Los Angeles, CA (June 25, 2020) Discount Two-Way Radio and RCA Communications Systems, leading providers of industrial-grade two-way radio equipment, today announced a bold five-year growth strategy that will center around partnering with more than 200 authorized dealers across the country. The expansion plan is estimated to bring in an estimated $10 million in revenue.

Discount Two-Way Radio and RCA Communications Systems joined forces in 2009 to distribute RCA products. Since that time, the partnership has sold more than 120 million radios to just under 100,000 clients working in the industries of construction, education, warehousing, manufacturing, oil and gas, and more. Now Discount Two-Way Radio and RCA Communications Systems wants to duplicate their success by creating a coast-to-coast network of independent dealers. Currently, the network is comprised of just under 100 dealers providing dealer exclusive RCA professional grade two-way radio equipment to heavy-duty industries that require affordable, reliable, and durable communications tools.

“Discount Two-Way Radio and RCA Communications Systems have proven our product and sales models can go head-to-head with any major two-way radio manufacturer in the country. Now, we are expanding our footprint by introducing a line of RCA ‘dealer-only’ radio models that will be sold throughout our well-supported dealer network,” said Ben Burns, CEO and Founder of Discount Two-Way Radio and RCA Communications Systems.

According to Burns, this is a great opportunity to help dealers in smaller markets because in many cases they have been neglected and depreciated by other major radio brands.

“Competitors in our industry rarely consider the customer’s requirements or provide them a solution that truly fits their needs. Most manufacturers push the dealers to sell whatever model they are pushing that particular month. Now we have a dealer only line of radios that are coupled with better support, warranties and prices,” said Burns.

Expanding Dealer Network Aligns with Industry Growth Projections

Expanding RCA Communications Systems two-way radio dealer footprint will be aided by the projected growth of the two-way radio market over the next five years. For example, a recent study by the market research firm Global Info Research projected that the two-way radio market will grow to a $30 billion industry by the year 2024. This growth will be fueled by businesses, governments, utilities, and public safety agencies incorporating two-way radios into their operations because the technology is less expensive, easier to use, and much more secure than cell phones.

Specifically, Burns explained RCA Communications Systems will help independent dealers leverage three critical competitive advantages:

• Better Equipment
• Better Service
• Better Product Warranty

“Nobody can touch us on each one of those points. This will provide our dealer network a great leverage to penetrate markets that have been monopolized by other brands,” explained Burns.

For example, Texas Radios LLC recently started selling RCA two-way radios throughout San Antonio and Houston.

“Once we started selling RCA radios, we really started to like the brand. They’re much less expensive than Motorola, they work great, and their warranty is better than other brands, so it was a great fit for us,” said Matt Mahon, owner of Texas Radios LLC.

Bob Turner is the former Director of Risk & Emergency Management for the Alvord Unified School District in Riverside, CA, and the current President of California Preparedness Resource, an organization that helps schools find the tools and resources to enhance school safety and security programs. He also recently signed on to be one of RCA Communications Systems dealers.

“I really like the RCA brand and the radios are perfect for what I do within the education environment. I used them when I was overseeing risk management at one of Southern California’s largest school districts and I still use them today,” said Turner.
