What RFC Wireless does

RFC Wireless Inc. is a privately held Northern California-based two-way radio and communication systems integrator and managed service provider, headquartered in Fremont with a second office in Gold River (Sacramento). Founded in 1993, the company has served the San Francisco Bay Area for over 25 years, positioning itself as a leading provider of custom two-way radio and communication integrations to Fortune 500 companies and technology companies. Its portfolio spans 18 verticals including transportation, education, manufacturing, public services, utilities, warehousing, special events, and hospitality. The company was acquired in 2026 by CSE Crosscom USA Inc., a mission-critical communications and security solutions provider, and continues to operate under the RFC Wireless brand.

The company's technology stack is anchored on three Motorola Solutions platforms: MOTOTRBO digital two-way radios (portable, mobile, and SLR series repeaters), WAVE PTX broadband push-to-talk over LTE, and dispatch solutions from Avtec Scout, SmartPTT Enterprise/PLUS, and TRBOnet. Differentiated proprietary infrastructure includes the Bay Area TrboTalk wide-area network — an owned and operated MOTOTRBO network with centralized trunking across ten mountaintop sites in Northern California. Supporting capabilities include Cambium Networks point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and Wi-Fi infrastructure; Peplink mobile SD-WAN routers; Noggin incident management and RAVE Mobile Safety mass notification software; DAS/BDA in-building coverage; and a Motorola accessories catalog. The company holds California CSLB contractor license #1146413 and offers FCC licensing services.

RFC Wireless generates revenue through four streams: hardware sales of Motorola MOTOTRBO equipment and accessories; recurring monthly airtime subscriptions on its wide-area network ($18-$34.99 per radio per month, with no long-term commitments); professional services including system design, integration, installation, FCC licensing, and emergency communication planning; and equipment rentals bundling radios, airtime, and maintenance. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting Fortune 500 and technology companies across Northern California, the broader United States, and internationally, leveraging its Motorola Solutions Channel Partner and Service Elite Specialist status.
