WEST MELBOURNE, Fla., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ — RELM Wireless Corporation (NYSE Amex: RWC) today announced that it has received orders totaling approximately $3.2 million from several different branches of the U. S. Military, of which approximately $2.7 million is for the Company’s new P25 trunked portable and mobile radios.  These orders include products for all the major frequencies; VHF, UHF and 800MHz and will be deployed both domestically and internationally.  It is anticipated that the orders will be fulfilled during the fourth quarter of 2010.

RELM President and Chief Executive Officer David Storey commented, “It is exciting to come out of the gate with substantial trunking orders almost immediately upon releasing our new trunked products. Equally important is our expanding footprint with the U.S. Military.  These orders are from branches of the military with which we have not previously done business.  We intend to make them believers in our extraordinary value and customer service.  This serves as tangible evidence of the positive reputation and relationships we have forged.  It is also a promising indicator that we are successfully broadening our addressable market with more products, frequencies and features.  We plan to continue aggressive pursuit of this strategy, which we believe should yield more opportunities for growth.”
