Radio Resource

What Radio Resource does

Radio Resource is a privately held, authorized Motorola Solutions Ecosystem Partner founded in 1989 and headquartered in Wheat Ridge, Colorado (Denver metro). The company sells, rents, designs, installs, and maintains two-way radio communication systems, broadband push-to-talk (WAVE PTX) services, and an expanding portfolio of physical-security products for enterprise and government customers across education, healthcare, manufacturing, utilities, hospitality, retail, commercial real estate, stadiums, and public safety.

The core technology stack centers on MOTOTRBO Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) systems, WAVE PTX carrier-independent broadband push-to-talk, and the broader Motorola/Avigilon safety and security ecosystem, including AI-enabled video analytics, access control, body-worn cameras, concealed weapons detection (CWD), Halo smart sensors, and dispatch/incident-management software (Avtec Scout, Noggin, Orchestrate, CommandCentral Aware Enterprise). Supporting vendors include JVCKenwood, L3Harris, Tait, and Pelco for alternative radio and video lines.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: (1) hardware sales of radios and infrastructure, (2) professional services including system design, installation, preventive maintenance, FCC licensing, and repair, (3) recurring WAVE PTX subscriptions with monthly per-user billing, and (4) short-term nationwide equipment rentals for events such as the NFL Super Bowl, which the company has supplied since 1991. Go-to-market is a hybrid of direct field sales, inside/phone sales, and online quote requests, with distribution anchored by the Motorola authorized-dealer channel.
