Strongest Product Advantages in Company's Long History

RELM just reinvented itself, practically overnight. Next-generation product lines are now in place to drive sustainable growth for many years to come, with the clearest competitive edge RELM Wireless has ever known since its founding in 1947.

This is not about introducing a new product innovation, or a new product model or a whole new product line. RELM reengineered and developed new leading-technology radio products and product lines all across the board, all smarter by design:

• APCO P25 Digital Radios - RELM is among the earliest and only companies to develop digital radio technology in full compliance with APCO P25 (APCO Project 25), the technical standard for public safety and homeland security LMR (land mobile radio) communications. With practical advantages over all competing APCO P25 products of the same type - including lowest cost - the BK Radio DPH digital portable radios will soon be joined by DMH mobile radios.
  
  
• BK Radio - The G Series of GPH portable and GMH mobile radios sets "The Gold Standard" for high-specification analog radios, now joined by the new enhanced and expanded GPH-CMD portable radio for field command and coordination functions. The initial G Series models, introduced in 2000, quickly became RELM's cornerstone high-spec analog product line for the future. The current-generation G Series combines years of BK Radio engineering and design with amazingly versatile software programming (e.g., cloning and Flash technologies, streamlined user interface, keypad- and PC-programmable, etc.). Even at a more affordable price than comparable high-spec radio products of other manufacturers, BK Radio G Series portable and mobile radios nonetheless demonstrate unsurpassed performance in direct comparisons.
  
  
• RELM - In 2003, RELM Wireless introduced RELM-brand RP portable radios, establishing an entirely new basic business-grade product line with singular competitive advantages going head-to-head with the same types of products: performance as good or better than the best, but always at lowest cost, yet still feature-rich. In January of this year, six new RELM RM mobile radios were introduced, completing the First-in-Fundamentals RELM business-grade product line family.
  
  
• Relm/BK - Now a new mid-range professional-grade product line is making its debut with the current introduction of two new portable radios, the RP 3000 and RP 3600, both with built-in pagers. The Relm/BK-brand product line is designed to combine the best of both worlds - the robust functionality and versatility long associated with the top-tier BK Radio product line, plus the substantial cost efficiencies now associated with the RELM-brand business-grade radios.

In the specific VHF and UHF frequency bands where RELM Wireless has focused its BK Radio, Relm/BK and RELM product lines, each and every radio product shares the qualities that define The RELM Advantage:

• More Radio for Your Dollar
  
  
• Easy to Use, Easy to Customize
  
  
• Rock-Solid Reliability

"This is a milestone for RELM Wireless, with a wide array of radio products and product lines now in place, all with the same clearly defined competitive edge, setting the foundation for the future of the brand new RELM," notes President and CEO David Storey. "There will always be new products in the pipeline, but our BK Radio, RELM and now Relm/BK product lines have staked out their territories where our radios have exceptional strengths and The RELM Advantage we expect to last for many years."

"We know of many BK Radio products now in service that are 20 or 30 or more years old and still going strong," adds Storey. "We expect the same to be true 20 and 30 or more years from now as well, based on the first-class quality and rock-solid reliability of current new products we are shipping today."

Business Case Study: Launching Success

2003 provided positive proof of the new strategic direction at RELM Wireless Corporation with the best financial results in 17 years, its first new P25 digital portable radio, federal government agency purchases of its P25 digital radios and securing new financing through an alliance with Silicon Valley Bank.

In 2004 the company doubled its operating income from 2003, and total sales for 2004 rose to approximately $20.7 million.

Now arriving in 2005 are new RELM RM Series mobile radios that complete the RELM business-grade product line, the debut of the new Relm/BK mid-range professional-grade product line, the new GPH-CMD portable radio topping off the premier high-spec analog BK Radio product line, and the new DMH digital mobile radios completing the BK Radio P25 digital product line.

Years of development led to this milestone - designing and engineering brand new product lines across the board. At the same time RELM Wireless significantly enhanced its financial strength and performance, which will translate into even more new products and features.

Combined, these factors have driven significant success, with RELM now a strong and rising contender with next-generation product platforms sharing a built-in competitive edge.

"What these recent milestones say loud and clear is that RELM Wireless is here to stay, our foundation is in place to serve our customers for many years to come," Dave Storey maintains. "Our solid product foundation now offers a unique value proposition for all our new products and product lines that we can be proud to stand behind and fully support: More Radio for Your Dollar."

That value proposition is now the sole focus and the one and only business of RELM Wireless Corporation.

Based on the Space Coast of Florida, RELM Wireless makes world-class two-way portable and mobile radios and related equipment engineered to the practical priorities of radio users in public safety, homeland security, government and an expanding range of business and commercial operations.
