RF Modules for Embedded Wireless Applications

Company Overview

     Radiotronix™ was founded in January of 2001 to take advantage of the advances made in integrating RF functionality in wireless ICs and the goal was set to create a new generation of highly-integrated IC-style RF modules that combined ease of use, enhanced performance and lowered customer cost. Our first wireless module was released in August of 2001 and won product of the year from Wireless Design and Development magazine.

     In 2002, we designed and manufactured the world's first belt-worn GPS tracking system for non-violent offenders released on early parole. In 2004, we were contracted to design and manufacture a 20-user wireless audio system for in-car law enforcement applications. Today, over 5,000 of these systems are used daily to protect our officers in the field.

     In April 2005, Radiotronix™ brought on Red State Ventures as an equity partner to provide the much-needed working capital required to support our continued growth. In July 2005, we moved into a new manufacturing facility located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In addition to the new facility, we added new manufacturing equipment, including a state-of-the-art MyData MY-12 hydra pick-and-place line.

     Since 2001, we have steadily grown our portfolio of embedded wireless modules and accessories. Today, we offer more than fifty products that make it simple and fast for any engineer to make any product wireless. Our products are value added and solve real problems through the innovative application of technological advances in radio design, embedded wireless protocol and application design, packaging, and manufacturing processes. Key markets include industrial automation, automated meter reading, asset tracking and management, law enforcement and emergency response management, home automation, and wireless sensor networks.

     Our standard embedded wireless products are marketed through a network of sales partners and distributed around the world by Mouser Electronics, Qualmex (Mexico), D-Components, Avnet, Braemac and Richardson Electronics. Our embedded wireless solutions give our suppliers the two things that they want and our customers the three things that they need. Wireless IC suppliers suffer from long sales cycles and a significant technical support burden due to the difficulty of wireless design and the relative inexperience of the OEM customer base. Our customer partners suffer from long and expensive development cycles, reliability problems from unproven hardware and software designs, and manufacturing issues due to the complexities of building wireless products. Embedded wireless solutions from Radiotronix™ solve these problems: the development to market cycle is reduced by 8-12 months, production issues are eliminated and overall production cost is reduced, technical support is provided to one company instead of hundreds or thousands, and our products are tested, reliable solutions with proprietary, state-of-the art features.

     In 2005, we expanded our business model to include custom manufacturing in response to a growing demand from our customer base for wireless product manufacturing. With the addition of custom manufacturing to our business model, we can now offer our customers the specific solution they need. Whether it is an off-the-shelf embedded wireless module, a custom wireless PCB, or a complete turnkey solution, Radiotronix™ is a proven and capable partner.

     Our focus is now to continue to develop the core business of embedded wireless modules and new lines of products have been introduced to further this component of our business. Radiotronix™ is also undertaking contract manufacturing which will allow us to provide our expertise to companies seeking cost effective solutions for existing and new products. Finally, we have implemented a customer-focused web-based marketing plan that will allow our customers the opportunity to obtain smaller orders at prices that are extremely competitive. Most importantly, we understand our first priority is our customer and our business is to provide solutions for them. Our engineers continue to fill the pipeline with new and innovative products and we listen to our customers. We are not satisfied with a product until the customer says they are. Let us help you achieve your next level of success.

Our Products and Services

Embedded wireless modules are complete, fully integrated wireless solutions in IC-style packaging. The only external RF component required is an antenna. These modules allow any engineer to make any product wireless... without RF experience... without an RF lab... and without months of hardware and software development time.

We also serve our market by leveraging our component technology portfolio to realize complete, turnkey end-user products. Whether it is a simple safety paging system, or a complicated 250-user inter-operable wireless communications system, Radiotronix is the perfect partner for OEMs and system integrates in the US and around the globe.
