What Technical Equipment Distributors does

Technical Equipment Distributors (TEDI) is a privately held, Melbourne, Florida-based stocking distributor of radio frequency (RF) communications equipment and a manufacturer of custom RF cable assemblies under the TEDI Inc. brand. The company markets itself as a 'one stop RF shop,' distributing components, antennas, filtering products, tower structures, cabling, connectors, signal boosters, power supplies, and grounding hardware from approximately 15 manufacturer partners including Times Microwave Systems, PCTEL, TE Connectivity, Laird, Bird Technologies, SureCall, EMR Corporation, NELLO, Sinclair Technologies, and RF Industries. In parallel with distribution, TEDI Inc. produces custom cable assemblies to customer specifications with a focus on quick turnaround times.

The business operates a sales-led go-to-market combining quote-based direct sales (email and a 1-800 number) with an e-commerce webstore at shop.rfdistributor.com, targeting customers across the wireless/RF industry including telecommunications infrastructure, broadcast, land mobile communications, and other wireless applications. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; standard distributed RF equipment is available via the webstore while custom cable assemblies are quote-driven on a transactional basis.

The company is small (1-10 employees), independently owned by Dawn Keck with Jamie Anderson as Director of Operations and Corrie Seigworth handling accounting, and shows no evidence of external venture capital or private equity backing. There is no public revenue, funding history, or operating geography data disclosed beyond an inferred North American reach through its supplier relationships.
