About Us

Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Joliet, Illinois, A Beep continues its growth to provide high quality wireless services to Northern Illinois. Licensed by the Federal Communications Commission as a Private Paging carrier, A Beep built a satellite-delivered one-way paging network covering the greater Chicago area in 1996. Also in 1996 A Beep purchased the 2-way radio and paging assets of Telecom, Inc located in Joliet Illinois.

 

In 2002 A Beep purchased the assets of JB Communications, Schiller Park, Illinois that included an extensive customer base, FCC Licenses and a prime rooftop communications site lease at 311 Wacker Drive in Chicago.

  
A Beep was an early pioneer in building LTR trunked radios systems in the UHF radio band. Aggressive Licensing and building of sites lead to systems with extended capacity to serve a large customer base. 
 
2007 brought additional enhancements to many of the LTR trunked sites. Ten primary sites were “networked” into one seamless network using a  VOIP backbone from Bridgecom System.
 
2008 brought the introduction of Diga-Talk to the Chicagoland region. Diga-Talk is a wholly-owned division of A Beep. This all-digital network uses Kenwood Nexedge equipment and is currently the largest network of its kind in the world. This new all-digital Diga-Talk network provides for secure seamless mobile and hand-held portable communication throughout the Chicagoland region. This built-for-business Diga-Talk network is providing quality dependable communications at an affordable price. 
 
In 2009 certain assets were purchased from Tri Star Communications in Sycamore Illinois. These assets included repeaters, FCC Licenses and customers.
 
A Beep now operates Chicagoland’s largest privately owned wireless network with assets that include the greatest number of FCC-Licensed UHF radio frequencies in Illinois.
 

A Beep is an authorized dealer for Motorola, Kenwood Communications, Tait, Zetron and Icom.
