D.A. Davidson Advises Day Wireless Systems on Debt Refinancing to Support Growth and Strategic Expansion
D.A. Davidson & Co. has announced that it served as the exclusive financial advisor to Day Management Corp., doing business as Day Wireless Systems, in connection with the company’s new senior secured credit facility. The financing is designed to refinance Day Wireless Systems’ existing debt while providing the company with additional financial flexibility to support working capital requirements, acquisitions, and future growth initiatives.
The transaction represents an important step in strengthening Day Wireless Systems’ capital structure and positioning the company for continued expansion. By refinancing its existing obligations and securing additional flexibility, the company expects to have greater capacity to pursue strategic opportunities while continuing to invest in its operations and technology capabilities.
Headquartered in Milwaukie, Oregon, Day Wireless Systems has built a more than five-decade history in the communications and technology sector. Founded in 1969, the family-owned company provides communications, security, and public safety technology solutions to customers across a broad range of industries.
The company has established a significant presence in the Western United States and serves customers with solutions that support critical communications and infrastructure requirements. Its operations also extend internationally, with offices in the Netherlands and Ireland.
New Financing Strengthens Day Wireless’ Capital Structure
The newly arranged senior secured credit facility will primarily be used to refinance Day Wireless Systems’ existing debt. In addition to addressing the company’s existing financing obligations, the facility is expected to provide greater flexibility for managing working capital and pursuing strategic initiatives.
For businesses operating in technology-driven and infrastructure-intensive industries, access to flexible capital can play an important role in supporting long-term growth. Communications infrastructure providers often need to invest continuously in equipment, personnel, technology, construction capabilities, and customer support.
The additional financial flexibility provided by the new facility could allow Day Wireless Systems to pursue these investments while also considering acquisition opportunities and other strategic initiatives.
Dave Tinio, Chief Financial Officer of Day Wireless Systems, said the financing strengthens the company’s capital structure while providing a foundation for its future growth plans.
“This financing meaningfully strengthens our capital structure by refinancing existing debt at an attractive cost of capital while providing additional flexibility to support our long-term growth objectives. We appreciate the strong support from the D.A. Davidson team to deliver the optimal capital solution for our business moving forward,” said Tinio.
The company’s decision to refinance its existing debt reflects an effort to optimize its capital structure while ensuring that sufficient resources are available to support its operating and strategic priorities.
Day Wireless Systems’ Expanding Communications and Infrastructure Platform
Founded more than 50 years ago, Day Wireless Systems has developed into a diversified provider of communications, security, and public safety technology solutions.
The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of services designed to help organizations build, deploy, maintain, and manage communications infrastructure. Its capabilities include distributed antenna system, or DAS, solutions; system design; installation; integration; maintenance; FCC licensing; tower construction; tower leasing; and communications rentals.
This combination of services allows Day Wireless Systems to support customers throughout multiple stages of their communications infrastructure requirements.
The company serves customers that rely on communications systems for operational continuity, security, public safety, and mission-critical applications. Its capabilities are particularly relevant to organizations that require reliable communications infrastructure across complex facilities and geographic areas.
Day Wireless employs more than 500 professionals, including more than 300 technical staff members. The company operates across six Western states and has established an international presence through its offices in the Netherlands and Ireland.
Its workforce and geographic footprint provide the company with the technical resources and regional presence needed to support customers across a variety of markets.
Strategic Relationship With Motorola Solutions
One of Day Wireless Systems’ key competitive advantages is its relationship with Motorola Solutions.
The company is the largest privately held Motorola Solutions channel partner in the United States and is also among the largest Motorola channel partners globally.
This position reflects Day Wireless Systems’ scale and expertise within the communications technology ecosystem. Channel partners play an important role in helping technology manufacturers deploy solutions for customers, providing services such as implementation, integration, maintenance, and technical support.
Day Wireless’ relationship with Motorola Solutions has helped establish the company as an important provider of communications technology and services in the markets it serves.
Its capabilities extend beyond equipment distribution, with the company providing system design, installation, integration, maintenance, infrastructure construction, and other specialized services.
This broader service model can be particularly valuable for customers seeking integrated communications solutions rather than individual technology components.
Focus on Mission-Critical Communications
D.A. Davidson highlighted Day Wireless Systems’ role in providing mission-critical communications, security, and infrastructure solutions.
Brad Gevurtz, Managing Director of Technology Investment Banking at D.A. Davidson, said the firm valued the opportunity to work with Day Wireless on the financing transaction.
“We appreciated the opportunity to work with Day Wireless on this transaction,” said Gevurtz. “This outcome reflects our continuing focus on serving providers of mission-critical communications, security, and infrastructure solutions for data center, government, and enterprise customers.”
Mission-critical communications technology has become increasingly important as businesses, government agencies, and other organizations depend on reliable communication networks to support day-to-day operations.
The growth of connected infrastructure, expanding data requirements, security considerations, and the increasing need for resilient communications systems have contributed to continued demand for specialized communications and infrastructure providers.
Companies such as Day Wireless operate at the intersection of technology and physical infrastructure, providing customers with the systems and services required to support reliable communications.
Financing Supports Future Growth Initiatives
The new credit facility is also expected to provide Day Wireless Systems with greater flexibility to pursue acquisitions and other growth opportunities.
Acquisitions can be an important component of expansion strategies for companies operating in fragmented technology and infrastructure markets. Through acquisitions, companies can expand their geographic footprint, add technical capabilities, enter new customer segments, and strengthen existing service offerings.
The availability of additional capital can allow Day Wireless to evaluate such opportunities more strategically.
The company may also use its enhanced financial flexibility to support working capital needs associated with ongoing operations and growth. As a provider of installation, construction, integration, and maintenance services, Day Wireless must maintain the resources necessary to execute customer projects and support its expanding operations.
Steven Fleisher, Managing Director of Debt Advisory at D.A. Davidson, said the financing process produced an attractive cost of capital while positioning Day Wireless for future strategic initiatives.
“We were pleased to advise the Company on a financing process that resulted in an extremely attractive cost of capital and positions the Company to execute on a variety of strategic growth initiatives,” said Fleisher.
D.A. Davidson Expands Debt Advisory Activity
The Day Wireless transaction also highlights the continued momentum of D.A. Davidson’s Debt Advisory group and its Digital Infrastructure and Communications Technology practice.
D.A. Davidson has increasingly focused on companies operating in technology, communications, infrastructure, and other sectors where specialized financial advisory expertise can be particularly valuable.
The firm’s technology investment banking team has completed more than 145 transactions since 2020, representing more than $25 billion in total deal value.

D.A. Davidson’s Debt Advisory group works with companies to navigate these financing processes and identify capital solutions aligned with their strategic objectives.

This international platform expands the firm’s ability to support clients involved in cross-border transactions and strategic expansion.
Positioning Day Wireless for the Next Stage of Growth
The debt refinancing transaction comes at an important point in Day Wireless Systems’ long-term development.
With more than five decades of operating history, a workforce of more than 500 employees, extensive technical capabilities, and a strong position within the Motorola Solutions partner ecosystem, the company has established a substantial platform in communications and infrastructure services.
The new senior secured credit facility provides the company with an opportunity to build on that foundation.
By refinancing existing debt and adding financial flexibility, Day Wireless can focus on its long-term strategic priorities while maintaining the resources needed to support customers and operations.
The company’s focus on communications, security, and public safety technology also positions it within markets where reliability and specialized technical expertise are critical. Its services span from system design and installation to infrastructure construction, maintenance, licensing, leasing, and communications rentals.
As demand for sophisticated communications infrastructure continues to evolve, these capabilities may provide opportunities for continued expansion.
A Strategic Financing Milestone
The transaction between Day Wireless Systems and D.A. Davidson demonstrates how strategic debt financing can help established middle-market companies strengthen their balance sheets and prepare for future growth.
For Day Wireless, the refinancing provides an opportunity to replace existing debt while establishing greater flexibility for working capital, acquisitions, and other strategic initiatives. The company’s leadership views the financing as an important step toward achieving its long-term objectives.
For D.A. Davidson, the transaction further demonstrates its expertise in debt advisory services and its focus on communications, digital infrastructure, technology, and other mission-critical sectors.
As companies across the communications and infrastructure industries continue to navigate technological change and evolving customer requirements, access to appropriate capital will remain an important factor in their ability to invest, expand, and compete.
Day Wireless Systems enters this next stage with a strengthened capital structure and additional financial flexibility. With its established market presence, technical workforce, Motorola Solutions partnership, and broad portfolio of communications and infrastructure services, the company has a foundation from which to pursue new opportunities.
The refinancing therefore represents more than a restructuring of existing debt. It provides Day Wireless Systems with additional capacity to execute its strategic plans and potentially accelerate its growth through investments, acquisitions, and continued development of its communications and technology capabilities.
Meanwhile, D.A. Davidson’s role as exclusive financial advisor underscores the firm’s continued commitment to providing customized capital markets solutions for middle-market companies operating in technology and infrastructure-intensive industries.
