About Us
Feeney Wireless is a full-service wireless and mobile broadband solutions provider, including engineering, manufacturing and a wide range of professional services. Founder Bob Ralston started the company in 1999 after a 20 year engineering career with an Oregon-based electric public utility. Prior to the creation of Feeney Wireless, Ralston oversaw the development and deployment of one of Oregon’s first cellular mobile data applications used for electronic service order dispatch.
In 1999, Ralston founded Feeney Wireless with the single mission to solve customer problems by delivering on the promise of wireless technology. “We began installing mobile computing systems for public safety and utility departments when the only technology available was radio frequency data communication” says Ralston. Using his background in public utilities, Ralston began working with utility organizations to architect cellular communications systems for SCADA, M2M, and service order dispatch applications.
With its engineering expertise, creativity, and foresight, Feeney Wireless has grown to over 40 employees in 2009. Much of this success stems from Feeney's engineering expertise as well as its emphasis on listening during the sales process. “I want my salespeople to act as counselors,” says Ralston. “Our job is to help our clients improve their business and this can only be done by listening to their needs rather than presenting a sales pitch.”
Since its inception, Feeney Wireless has worked to build a name for itself as a nationally recognized engineering company delivering advanced wireless and mobile broadband solutions to all industries. In 2006, Feeney expanded its primary sales territory to cover the Western United States and New York. Principally located in Oregon, Feeney Wireless now has offices in California, Arizona, Utah, Texas, Washington, Hawaii, and New York. The corporate headquarters in Eugene, Oregon is home to corporate administration, engineering, technical support and inside sales. Feeney operates out of a 15,000 square foot facility that supports research and development, new product development, manufacturing and warehousing facilities for large scale deployments.
