ABOUT US
THE HISTORY OF MOBILE RELAY
Mobile Relay Associates, LLC, dba Raycom (MRA), was founded in 1975 by electronics enthusiasts Mark Abrams and Loren Marks to provide communications services and systems for commercial and industrial clients. Based in Paramount, California, MRA has delivered airtime, communications sales, and service solutions for more than 50 years. MRA designs, builds, installs, and maintains a wide range of communications systems for industrial and commercial operations. The company has also developed and installed communications infrastructure for Nextel in Orlando, Florida, and San Francisco, California. In addition, MRA has installed networks in Nevada and Colorado, and designed and deployed a four-site trunked repeater system in Chengdu, China, for a power utility.
Since its inception, MRA has secured one of the largest portfolios of exclusive UHF radio channels from the FCC and installed more than 100 strategically located tower sites throughout Southern California. This extensive infrastructure provides coverage from Central California to the San Diego border and from the Pacific Coast to St. George, Utah. Today, MRA offers the most comprehensive two-way radio network and FCC license portfolio in Southern California. Additionally we are linked to affiliates in Northern California, Arizona, Nevada. We also have a network in Colorado.
