About Us

We've been in beautiful downtown Center Point (suburb of Birmingham, AL), since 1989 in a 4000 square foot building just off Center Point Road.  We occupy about two thirds of the building with the remaining space occupied by our building partner, Charles Poe Realty. Our sales offices, warehouse & shipping area, plus manufacturing and repair facilities are all housed under one roof. 

 Our business is based on a concept developed many years ago by our favorite poet - Rudyard Kipling, whose words have become our words - And they copied, and they copied, but they couldn't copy my mind, so I left them sweating and stealing a year and a half behind!  We are the Go To Guys for information in wireless communications and advanced video technology.

Our blog page at http://falconinfo.blogspot.com has been, and continues to be visited by every major communications manufacturer in the world for current information on MotoTRBO, NXDN, and P25 technology, operating standards, trends, and FCC regulations. Our readers include major government agencies including FEMA, Homeland Security, and all military agencies as well ARINC (Airline Radio), railroad and transportation consultants, major universities ranging from Morehead State in the USA to Ajou University in Korea.

Virtually every major telecom service provider, including Bell Canada, Japan Telecom, Posta Dhe Telecom in Serbia and even Telcom Services of Trinidad and Tobago are among our frequent visitors.  In the commercial sector, our visitors range from Harrah's Entertainment to SBC and Verizon. Name a country anywhere in the world from Australia to Uganda and you'll find visitors to both our Blog and many of our specialized user oriented web pages.

We are not your ordinary dealer.  We actually design, manufacturer, and service specialized products for a variety of users including major public safety agencies, as well as Los Alamos, and Sandia National Laboratories.  We were instrumental in setting up a nationwide FM broadcast sub-carrier paging system and installation of a statewide mobile repeater system for the North Carolina State Highway Patrol as well as numerous special projects for users around the world.

We have our detractors.  If we didn't, we wouldn't be doing our job.  However, we invite comments, both positive and negative on our Blog page.  One of our competitors (much larger than we) refers to Falcon Direct as a one man band.  We thought that deserved an answer.  You might want to review our response at http://falconinfo.blogspot.com/2008/08/one-man-band.html.  It will be interesting to see how this larger competitor reacts to our changing economic conditions.  If the market is shrinking, competition is increasing, and overhead is fixed; things can get pretty tough for those whose business depends on growth for survival.  Maybe this one man band concept isn't so bad after all!

Currently, our endeavors are focused on merging the capabilities of voice, data, and video technologies to provide better solutions for those we serve. To get a better idea of what we do and for whom, we suggest that you visit our Blog site at http://falconinfo.blogspot.com where we continually post updated information on a variety of subjects including FCC rules and the move to digital technology.  A partial list of specialized web sites is included at the bottom of our Blog page.

As you review our home page at www.falcondirect.com, you will see that even our web page is different.  We give you the information you need on products, user applications, regulatory issues, and technology updates.  On top of that, we offer the best products, by the best manufacturers, at the best prices anywhere.  We are truly in a class by ourselves, and we like it that way!

What will we do next?  Stay tuned!
