What JTECH Communications Inc. does

JTECH Communications Inc. (legal entity JTECH Global Enterprises, Inc.) is a privately held US company, founded in 1988 and headquartered at 1965 Evergreen Blvd, Suite 300, Duluth, Georgia, that designs, manufactures, and sells wireless communication and digital signage systems for on-premise venues. The core technology is proprietary UHF (450-470 MHz band, 2-watt) paging with unique System IDs to prevent cross-site interference, delivering up to 2 miles of line-of-sight coverage and supporting up to 999 pagers per transmitter (e.g., IQ Base). The product stack spans guest pagers (coaster, belt, rugged, smart bands), staff pagers (alphanumeric, 4-color LCD), transmitters (IStation, Neo, IQ Base, ServerCall, TableScout), Motorola-branded and JTECH Extend two-way radios, a table-location system (EasyVu), a QR-code Virtual Service Kiosk, and a digital signage line (A-Frame portable, LCD window posters up to 3500 nits, indoor LED menu/countertop/podium displays) managed through a NoviSign-powered cloud CMS.

The software layer overlays this hardware with HostConcepts (waitlist and reservation management), SmartCall Messenger (HIPAA-compliant web staff paging), DirectAlert and CloudAlert (bridges from POS/KDS/EMR and ordering platforms to pager/SMS), and the JTECH CMS. JTECH serves primary verticals of restaurants (full service, QSR, fast casual) and healthcare, with secondary verticals in hospitality, golf/country clubs, church nurseries, retail, warehouse/distribution, stadiums/arenas, and institutions. Distribution combines a direct US e-commerce store (store.jtech.com), inside phone/email sales (800-321-3661), financing and trade-in programs, and an international dealer network spanning the UK (CST, with reach into 40+ countries and 20,000+ install sites), Spain (TouchIT Global since 1998), Denmark (Discover Systems since 2000), and Australia (Becas), plus a broad API/integration partner program across Aloha POS, Brink POS PAR, Oracle Micros 3700, QSR Automations, OpenTable, Olo, Ziosk, FlyBuy, meevo, zenoti, and EMR/EHR systems. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of pagers, transmitters, radios, and digital signage displays, with a growing mix of recurring software subscriptions and professional/financing services; no public revenue, funding, or ownership data are disclosed.
