Keeping You Connected: How J&K Communications Powers Every Industry We serve

At J&K Communications, we understand that each industry, whether it’s a farm, factory, school, or electric utility, has its own communication challenges. We’ve spent over 49 years solving these with purpose-built radio, telemetry, and SCADA systems across Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky. From critical public safety dispatch to industrial automation, here’s how we help each sector stay connected, efficient, and secure.

Business & Industry

Agriculture

Modern farming runs on efficiency, and so does our equipment. We provide durable radios that farmers can use across large properties, coordinating between grain silos, tractors, irrigation systems, and storage facilities. These systems help reduce time wasted driving back and forth and keep harvest operations running smoothly.

Construction

Whether it’s a commercial job site or municipal development, your crews need instant, reliable communication. Our portable and mobile radios work even in noisy environments or around heavy equipment. We help teams cut down miscommunication, improve job site safety, and meet deadlines more efficiently.

Education

In schools, communication is about more than convenience, it’s about safety. We help districts set up school-wide radio systems that allow teachers, administrators, transportation, and security staff to coordinate effectively. From bus arrival times to emergency lockdowns, everyone stays connected and ready.

Factories

In manufacturing, even a minute of downtime can mean lost revenue. That’s why we provide Kenwood digital radios designed for loud environments, allowing plant managers, machine operators, and logistics teams to stay in constant contact. Our systems also support group calling, so departments can collaborate without wasting time.

Fleet

Fleet managers need to know where vehicles are, how operations are flowing, and how to respond to issues on the road. Our radios offer long-range clarity and real-time updates, supporting dispatchers and drivers without the need for expensive cellular plans. It's a simple, effective way to run leaner and smarter.

Municipalities

City departments and rural governments alike need to coordinate utilities, public works, and emergency response. We provide secure, digital radio systems for communication between departments, whether you’re clearing snow, repairing power lines, or responding to a downed tree. Our radios work across town and out in the county, ensuring 24/7 uptime.

Public Safety

Dispatch Centers

We help dispatch centers upgrade their equipment to meet modern 911 demands, including multi-channel radios and integrated dispatch workstations. Our technicians help design and install systems that ensure clean audio, fast response, and integration with first responders.

EMA (Emergency Management Agencies)

We provide interoperable radio solutions that function during natural disasters, power outages, and multi-agency incidents. Whether it’s flood recovery or active shooter response, our systems keep everyone on the same page.

EMS & Hospitals

In the field or at the hospital, emergency medical staff rely on clear instructions. Our radio solutions allow paramedics to communicate directly with hospitals, ER staff, and other responders in real time, helping save lives when seconds count.

Fire Departments

We provide fire teams with rugged, fire-rated radios that work in smoke, heat, and chaos. Whether inside burning structures or at wildland scenes, these radios stay online when cell phones don’t. Plus, we offer P25 solutions for seamless interoperability between departments.

Police

From patrol cars to SWAT teams, we outfit police departments with encrypted, interference-resistant radios that officers can trust in critical situations. We also offer vehicle installations, signal boosters, and body-worn solutions customized to agency size and budget.

Industrial Communications (SCADA)

Backhaul

We install RAD Airmux microwave radios for long-distance data transmission, providing backhaul connections for utilities, public safety, and telecom. These radios offer fast, stable connections and are built for extreme conditions.

Electric Utilities

Electric co-ops and municipal utilities depend on real-time monitoring of substations and grid health. Our GE MDS Orbit radios support SCADA protocols and encrypted communication to ensure constant uptime, regulatory compliance, and control center visibility.

Government

We help government agencies manage remote assets, environmental sensors, and facility monitoring with hardened radios that resist cyber threats and physical damage.

Industrial

We provide communications solutions to manufacturing plants, oil refineries, and automation facilities. From PLC-to-control-room telemetry to private network radios, we help keep production lines connected and optimized.

Municipal Systems

J&K supports city water towers, sewer lift stations, and public utilities with secure SCADA telemetry, ensuring real-time alerts, automated system controls, and cost-effective data gathering.

Water / Wastewater

Our SCADA radio systems allow utility workers to monitor water flow, pressure, and treatment levels without needing to be on-site. This helps cities meet EPA standards while reducing downtime and manual labor.
