WEST MELBOURNE, Fla., 8 Oct. 2011. RELM Wireless Corp. (NYSE Amex:RWC) won orders, for its KNG P25 trunked portable and mobile VHF and UHF radios, totaling approximately $1 million from several branches of the U. S. military. Company officials expect to fulfill these orders during the fourth quarter of 2011. RELM is a supporter of the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials Project 25 (P25) standard, which is approved by the Dept. of Homeland Security, and is a manufacturer of P25-compliant products. P25 requires interoperability among compliant equipment regardless of the manufacturer.

"It is exciting to follow-up our recent order from Australian Defence Industries with some substantial trunking orders from our U.S. forces. These orders are from military segments that have not previously purchased our products, further expanding and strengthening our footprint with the U.S. military. The defense and military market segments are an important part of our strategic growth plans. We have also successfully established other new relationships recently with agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Veterans Administration," says David Storey, RELM president and chief executive officer.
