RTC Manufacturing, Inc., the largest supplier of school zone equipment in the world, has been helping kids do just that and more since 1987. Its indus- try leading zone flasher system provides an efficient solution for students and drivers to get where they need to be, unharmed. Over time, it became increasingly apparent that RTC's innovative flasher systems would require remote access as a critical next step in system improvement. "We wanted to remotely access school flashers to download schedules and also to hear back from users when they had any issue that might cause the flasher to not operate properly," said David Walker, President of RTC. RTC tested the use of pagers, 900 MZ radio, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and direct hard line access, but experienced diffi- culties with each method, as none met all of the requirements. What RTC really needed was a reliable two-way remote communication system that could func- tion several hundred miles away from its traffic centers. MultiTech's 40-year rich history in superi- or, enterprise hard- ware solutions, cou- pled with its past experience in smart city and infrastructure implementations caught their eye, ultimately leading RTC to evaluate their communications equip- ment.

About the Founders of Empire Cell Phone Accessories In 2001, Will and Laura Land were fresh out of college and looking to make ends meet. At the time, Will owned a B2B cell phone service company and he would often give away free accessories to gain customers. He kept ending up with excess inventory and decided to liquidate it on eBay. After a few months the eBay business was going so well that he recruited Laura to join the endeavor and Accessory Export, LLC was born. For many years Accessory Export continued to grow in the after- market accessory resell industry until 2009 when they realized their business had outgrown local whole- salers. At that point Will and Laura made the decision to start designing and importing their own products. Today Accessory Export owns the EMPIRE ® and MPERO ® brands of accessories. Located in Riverside, California, Accessory Export currently employees over 40 employees and occupies a 27,000 Continued on Page 33 Continued on Page 33 AN INDEPENDENT PUBLICATION NOT AFFILIATED WITH CTIA Lee M.
