Prior to us getting Relay, we had a safety incident with a non-English speaking person. Had we had the Relays in place already, I would have been able to communicate with that person on my own and not need an interpreter. Relay has been able to eliminate our language barrier

Multi-Network Range & Reliability, For Workplace Safety
RelayX combines WiFi and multiple cellular networks to virtually eliminate dead zones and keep your team connected, whether it’s a lone worker deep in the facility or a crew across the country, help is within reach.
Dead zones don’t stand a chance
Unlike traditional industrial radios and worker safety solutions that are prone to dead zones, Relay uses redundant networks, including WiFi and multiple cellular providers, with automatic switchover to help keep your frontline team better connected nationwide.
Dead Zones? Out of Range?
Out of the Question.
Dead Zones are Virtually Eliminated
Nationwide Range
Quad-SIM 4G LTE and 5G
Access to All Major US Cellular Networks
Simultaneous Cell+WiFi Connectivity
Automatic Network Switching
Private LTE
Before Relay we were using two-way radios. The radios are big and they’re heavy, and also with the dead spots throughout the plant, that’s obviously a big frustration for communication. Especially if it’s an emergency, you’re trying to communicate with someone and you don’t know if they heard you or not
