About SmarTrunk Systems, Inc.
SmarTrunk Systems, Inc., was founded in 1979 as Selectone Corporation, a
privately held California corporation, and quickly became a leading manufac-
turer of tone signaling and voice encryption equipment for the mobile com-
munications industry.
In 1992, the company introduced the original SmarTrunk system as a low-
cost trunking protocol for radiotelephone systems in developing countries. In
1994, a second- generation system was introduced,
SmarTrunk II, with more features and a faster, more secure digital signaling
protocol. Since then, SmarTrunk II has become an industry standard radio
trunking protocol in more than 98 countries.
Recognizing the growing importance of the SmarTrunk II product line, the
company’s corporate name was changed to SmarTrunk Systems, Inc., in
early 1996. In June 2000, the company’s original Selectone product line was
sold to Communications Specialists, Inc.
In July, 2001, after nearly 30 years in the land mobile business, SmarTrunk’s
founder and CEO retired and sold the company to Ranger Communications,
Inc. SmarTrunk Systems, Inc., is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Ranger
Communications, Inc. of National City (San Diego), California. Ranger’s 30+
years of experience in the manufacturing business, furthers SmarTrunk’s
position as the leading supplier of radio trunking systems. Since 2001, the
ST-510 SmarTrunk II Switch and the SmarTrunk II feature set has been
greatly expanded.
