Radio One Inc./Motorola Solutions

What Radio One Inc./Motorola Solutions does

Radio One, Inc. is a privately held Florida-based systems integrator and the largest Motorola Solutions Platinum Partner in the state, operating as a subsidiary of CSE Crosscom (part of CSE Global). Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Orlando, the company delivers integrated wireless voice, video, and data communication solutions — primarily two-way radio systems (MOTOTRBO R7, R5, Ion, XPR series, Capacity Max trunking), WAVE PTX push-to-talk-over-cellular, Avigilon and Pelco video security, body cameras, HALO Smart Sensors, concealed weapons detection (Evolv), and public safety DAS / wireless broadband infrastructure — to enterprise and public-sector customers across 35 Florida counties from seven office locations.

The company's revenue mechanics span three streams: (1) hardware and software resale of Motorola, Avigilon, Pelco, HALO, and Evolv products; (2) professional services including system design, engineering, installation, and field deployment; and (3) recurring revenue from annual maintenance/service agreements, short-term equipment rentals, and equipment leasing through a partnership with U.S. Bank Equipment Finance (up to $1M per transaction). Radio One sells through a direct field sales force targeting enterprise and municipal accounts, supported by an inside sales team for mid-market leads, with marketing emphasis on consultative B2B engagement, customer testimonials, grant assistance for K-12 schools, and owned events such as the inaugural Radio One Day 2025 at Hard Rock Orlando.

Customer segments include education (primary), hospitality, construction, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, public safety, transportation, utilities, oil and gas, data centers, and agriculture. Named reference accounts include a Florida major theme park (335-acre radio upgrade), a Florida supermarket chain (1,400+ locations standardized on MOTOTRBO Capacity Max with 2,000+ deployed radios), Hello! Destination Management, the City of Orlando, and multiple K-12 school districts — indicating both large-anchor enterprise relationships and diversified mid-market exposure.

Direct peers

• BearCom: BearCom is one of the largest Motorola Solutions channel partners in North America, distributing two-way radios, video security, and integrated wireless solutions to enterprise and public-sector customers. It is the most directly comparable peer given its national Platinum-tier Motorola relationship and similar vertical mix.
• Mobile Communications America (MCA): MCA is a major Motorola Solutions Platinum Partner providing two-way radio, video, and in-building wireless solutions across the U.S. It competes head-to-head with Radio One on enterprise radio deployments and shares the same Motorola-led go-to-market model.
• Chicago Communications: Chicago Communications is a Motorola-aligned wireless integrator serving the Midwest, recently acquired by CSE Crosscom (parent of Radio One). It is now a sister entity under the same parent and serves a directly comparable channel-partner / systems-integrator role.
• Day Wireless Systems: Day Wireless Systems is a long-standing Motorola Solutions dealer/integrator with deep West Coast presence, offering two-way radio, video, and wireless infrastructure to public safety and enterprise. Comparable in size, vendor alignment, and integration services.
• Altech Electronics: Altech Electronics is a Motorola Solutions channel partner delivering two-way radio, video surveillance, and integrated communications solutions to public safety, education, and enterprise customers in the southeastern U.S. Directly comparable in regional integrator profile.
• Communications Electronics: Communications Electronics is a Motorola Solutions channel partner providing two-way radio systems, video, and security integrations to enterprise and government accounts, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic. Closely comparable in product mix and customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Motorola Solutions: Motorola Solutions is the manufacturer and brand owner behind Radio One's core product portfolio. As a global incumbent, Motorola competes directly with channel partners on large enterprise deals and indirectly sets the economics under which Radio One operates.
• Convergint Technologies: Convergint is a large global systems integrator delivering integrated security, fire/life safety, and communications solutions across enterprise verticals. It overlaps with Radio One in video surveillance, access control, and integrated communications but operates at much larger scale across multiple vendors.
• ADT Commercial: ADT Commercial provides integrated electronic security, video surveillance, and managed services for enterprise customers. It overlaps with Radio One's video and access-control business but is a much broader incumbent with national delivery rather than a two-way radio specialist.

Emerging players

• Hytera Communications: Hytera is a global manufacturer of professional two-way radio and LTE-PTT solutions competing with Motorola in the private radio market. While not a direct channel competitor, Hytera represents a competing technology ecosystem Radio One does not currently distribute.
