Started in Vincennes. Now in seven cities across four states.
VEI Communications has been designing and supporting two-way radio systems since 1997. We started as a Kenwood dealer in southern Indiana and grew by solving real problems for real operations: sheriff departments that needed countywide coverage, hospitals that needed instant staff coordination, trucking companies that needed communication in places where cell towers don't reach.
Today we carry Kenwood, Tait, and a full roster of dispatch and PoC partners because no single brand solves every problem. The recommendation always fits the job.
Consultation to coverage. Four steps.
Same process whether it is a 10-radio office setup or a multi-site county deployment.
Consult
We learn your operation: coverage area, user count, environment, budget, and existing equipment. Most consultations happen on-site.
Design
Frequency coordination, repeater placement, coverage maps, and equipment selection. You see the plan before we order a single radio.
Install
Tower work to desk-side programming. We test every channel, every talk group, and every handoff point before handoff.
Support
Maintenance plans, firmware updates, FCC renewals, user adds, and emergency repair. One call, one vendor.
Great folks! Friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. It is a pleasure doing business with VEI Communications.

Before you call.
Straight answers to the questions we hear every week from buyers evaluating their options.
Digital holds full audio clarity right to the edge of coverage, where analog fades into static. It also fits roughly twice the talk paths on the same channel, and adds text messaging, GPS location, individual calling, and encryption. If your radios are past ten years old, or you are adding people to a channel that is already busy, digital is usually the answer. We test coverage on your actual sites before recommending either one.
Almost certainly. Any business operating on dedicated radio frequencies needs one, and running without it carries fines up to $100,000 per violation. A license lasts ten years. The exceptions are low-power FRS radios and cellular push-to-talk, and neither gives you the range or reliability of licensed equipment. We handle the frequency search, coordination, filing, and renewals.
P25 is the digital radio standard built so public safety agencies from different departments and jurisdictions can talk to each other on a shared response. It covers encryption, interoperability, and the audio quality that mission-critical work demands. Police, fire, and EMS almost always need it. Most commercial operations do not, and DMR or NXDN will cost less and do the job. We build P25 Phase 1 and Phase 2 systems, and we will tell you if yours is not a P25 problem.
Depends on the job, which is why we carry both and six other brands. Kenwood's NX line covers the widest span of commercial and public safety needs, and it is where most of our customers land. Tait earns its place where multi-band flexibility and hard field use matter most. A single-brand dealer recommends what they stock. We would rather match the radio to the work.
FleetTalk is our own push-to-talk network. VEI owns and operates two regional radio networks covering Indiana, Kentucky, and South Carolina, plus nationwide cellular PTT through Hytera HALO. You subscribe monthly instead of building towers, so a crew spread across hundreds of miles talks instantly without the capital cost of private infrastructure. One vendor, one bill.
A handful of portables programmed and delivered can be the same week. A vehicle fleet runs a few days, depending on unit count and whether we come to you. A full system with repeaters and licensing takes longer, because FCC frequency coordination sets that pace and we do not control it. You get a real date after the site survey, not a guess before it.
Tell us about your operation.
Describe what you need and we will get back to you with a recommendation, usually within one business day.
