The Right Radio for the Job. Not the Easiest One to Sell.
Two-way radios from Kenwood, Tait, Hytera, and more, matched to your operation. Portable, mobile, and repeater equipment for every industry. We carry seven brands so the recommendation fits the job, not the other way around.
Overview
Most two-way radio dealers carry one brand. They recommend what they have in stock, whether it fits your operation or not. If you need UHF but they sell VHF, you get VHF. If you need P25 but they carry commercial-only, you get talked out of P25.
VEI is an authorized dealer for Kenwood and Tait Communications, plus technology partners Hytera, Omnitronics, EFJohnson, and Telex. We start with your requirements, your coverage area, your user count, your environment, and your budget. Then we match equipment across our full catalog. The recommendation always fits the job, not our inventory.
Every engagement starts with a coverage analysis specific to your geography. We model your terrain, building penetration, and user density before quoting a single radio. That analysis is free, and it stays yours whether you buy from us or not.
Everything This Service Covers
Coverage Analysis
Before quoting a single radio, we model your terrain, building materials, and user density. For single-site operations this takes a few hours. For county-wide public safety networks we run multi-day propagation studies that map every dead zone, every handoff point, and every interference source. You see the coverage map before we order hardware.
Multi-Brand Equipment Selection
Kenwood NX-3000 for commercial multi-protocol digital and analog on a single platform. Tait TP9000 for P25 mission-critical public safety with multi-band flexibility. Hytera HALO for nationwide push-to-talk over cellular without infrastructure investment. We carry all three because no single brand solves every problem.
Frequency Coordination & FCC Filing
We handle the entire FCC licensing process: frequency identification, application filing, coordination with adjacent systems, and ongoing renewal management. Your channels stay clean, your operation stays compliant, and you never deal with regulatory paperwork.
Trade-In Credits & Financing
Existing radios have value, even aging analog units. We evaluate your current inventory and apply trade-in credits toward new equipment. Financing options let you spread the cost across 12 to 36 months so you can upgrade your entire fleet without a single large capital outlay.
Programming & Provisioning
Every radio ships fully programmed with your channels, talk groups, encryption keys, and user profiles. We configure zone plans, scan lists, and emergency features before the equipment leaves our shop. Your team goes live on day one, not after a week of desk-side configuration.
Lifecycle Support
Warranty service, firmware updates, user additions, configuration changes, and emergency repair. When a radio fails in the field, we dispatch a loaner and start repair the same day. One vendor from purchase through the entire lifecycle of your equipment, not a different company at every stage.
Our Process
Needs Assessment
We learn your operation: coverage area, user count, environment, budget, and existing equipment. Most consultations happen on-site.
Coverage Analysis
Our engineers model your terrain and building penetration to determine what equipment and infrastructure your operation requires.
Equipment Recommendation
We present options across our full brand catalog with pricing, trade-in credits, and financing. No single-brand pressure.
Deployment & Training
We program every radio, install infrastructure, and train your team. You go live with full support from day one.
