Why the Radeus Labs–JEI Acquisition Matters for Mission-Critical Communications

by | May 13, 2025 | News , Recording

For organizations where communications are central to operations—public safety departments, military bases, emergency response centers, and critical infrastructure providers—recording every call accurately and securely isn’t optional. It’s foundational. And for more than 50 years, JEI voice logging recorders have been one of the trusted tools in that foundation.

Now, with Radeus Lab's acquisition of JEI, those legacy systems are getting a new lease on life—one that blends the reliability of the past with the innovation and customization capabilities of a forward-looking technology partner.

But this isn’t just about corporate consolidation. It’s about continuity, modernization, and meeting the increasingly complex demands placed on communication infrastructure today.

Bridging the Gap Between Legacy and Modern Demands

JEI LoggerJEI has long been recognized for building dependable, easy-to-use systems that simply work. The kind that don’t require constant maintenance or expensive recurring fees. These are products that many organizations still rely on to log 911 calls, dispatch traffic, radio communication, and internal command activity—often in high-pressure environments where there's no room for error.

At the same time, these same systems—many of which have been in service for a decade or more—are nearing the end of their support lifecycles. The hardware is aging. Compliance standards are shifting. And the communications landscape is more complex than ever, with a need to record and manage audio from analog, VoIP, RoIP, radio, intercom, and other inputs—all in one place.

That’s where Radeus Labs comes in.

A Familiar Solution, Built for the Future

Radeus Labs brings deep expertise in building high-performance electronic systems for mission-critical industries, including defense and aerospace. With its acquisition of JEI’s product line, the company is taking a clear stance: keep what works, modernize what needs updating, and continue delivering systems that users can count on for years to come.

The combined solution offers more than just a rebranded recorder. It represents a shift toward smarter form factors, enhanced searchability, better integration with existing systems, and support for the wide range of input formats used across departments and facilities today.

Importantly, these updates are being developed without introducing cloud dependencies or subscription-based pricing models. That means no monthly fees, no mandatory upgrades, and no risk of vendor lock-in—just dependable, secure voice and data logging technology built around operational needs.

Support That Doesn’t Disappear After Purchase

One of the key differentiators with this transition is the emphasis on long-term service. Radeus Labs is known for its manufacturing principles and responsive, U.S.-based technical support. That approach now extends to the JEI product family—ensuring that customers aren’t left navigating a help desk maze or chasing down third-party support vendors.

The offering includes lifetime support and an engineering team that understands the unique requirements of compliance-driven, mission-critical environments. Whether it’s retrofitting a legacy deployment, preparing for a system upgrade, or customizing a configuration to meet new regulations, there’s now a single, stable partner standing behind the solution.

Built and Supported in the U.S.

As procurement teams place increased emphasis on supply chain transparency, data security, and national sourcing standards, American-made systems with ISO certification are more important than ever. With all manufacturing and support based in the U.S., the updated JEI line aligns with these priorities—offering not only technical reliability but also peace of mind around compliance and procurement policy.

Moving Forward, Without Disruption

For agencies and organizations currently running JEI systems—or considering an upgrade from outdated infrastructure—the Radeus Labs acquisition is a signal that trusted technology is evolving in the right direction. It’s a rare combination: legacy dependability paired with modern engineering and real, human-centered service.

And in fields where operational downtime and missed communications aren’t just inconvenient—they’re unacceptable—that combination isn’t just welcome. It’s essential.

If your organization is exploring options to replace or upgrade its existing recording systems, the team at Radeus Labs is here to help. Whether you're working with legacy JEI equipment or planning for future growth, we’re happy to discuss your needs and recommend solutions that prioritize reliability, simplicity, and long-term support.

Voices Driving Innovation: Jim Hamerly Gets Bored Easily - And That's His Superpower

Most college students don't walk into their professor's office nearly every single day. Juliet Correnti did.

Fifteen years later, when Correnti purchased Radeus Labs, she asked that same professor, Jim Hamerly, to join her advisory board. Not because he knew satellite systems or ruggedized computing. Because he knew how to build teams that don't implode.

"Juliet came into my office almost every day," Hamerly recalls. "Most students don't take that opportunity. She did."

Today, Hamerly serves on Radeus's Board of Directors while managing a 20-acre forest on Palomar Mountain (100 giant sequoia trees he grew from seed), advising startup founders, and interviewing prospective MIT students.

"I've had five careers," Hamerly says. Then he pauses. "Actually, I've retired four times."
