What hasn’t changed
Specialists in two-way radios
We’ve grown a lot since 1998, but the focus has not changed: commercial two-way radio asset disposition, end to end. That focus is why we pay more, document more, and dispose smarter than anyone else.
- Specialty buyers who know the OEMs, the models, and the secondary market.
- Programming and encryption-key wipes on every radio we acquire.
- R2v3-certified partners for anything that cannot be resold.
- Functional equipment placed with K-12 schools via Radios 4 Kids.
- A purpose tied directly to business results, not added as an afterthought.
During World War 1, carrier pigeons were used to communicate between military frontlines, as wireless technology was still not developed. By World War 2, two-way radios became common place and played a decisive role in many battles. Amazingly, the fundamentals of two-way radio technology that began after World War 1 still apply today. Working and functional radio equipment saves lives and improves commerce. It is needed by many users throughout the world — and serving that need is part of our DNA.
Where wireless communications started
During WWI, carrier pigeons. By WWII, two-way radios.
