RedMedia Inc.

RedMedia Inc. is a private company that specializes in technologies, home appliances and semiconductor. Founded in 1972, it is currently the biggest company in Texas and one of the big tech companies in the world. Products from RedMedia are known for their high quality and great serviceability.

1972-1984
RedMedia was established by Matthew Switzer as RF Industries on October 11th, 1972. The company started by producing microwaves and fridges. Later in 1976, RF acquired a small chips fab in Fort Worth, which later became RF Semiconductor. This paved the way for their first ever computer, the RF-10 (1979).

In 1980, they moved their headquarters from a small house to a building near it. This will be their headquarters for the next 28 years. Also in 1980 was the introduction of their first ever camcorder (RC-1) and their first TV (RT-101), which shaped how the company would end up going in to the next decade.

1982 saw RF Industries turning itself from a small company to a big one with the introduction of their RG-100 games console in July, and the RF-20 computer in November. Even though the RG-100 is released during the Video Game crash of 1983, it still became a success from its attractive price point and its educational software selection. The RF-20 enjoyed the same level of success, competing head to head with the Commodore 64 and Atari 800.

RF Industries suffered a crisis for a short while in 1983, when an employee was caught giving secret info to rival companies while simultaneously climbing up the ranks. This results in the employee being fired, along with several changes to the company. By this stage, RF has 150 employees.
