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.
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. |
