The company was founded in 1973 and operated from 2004 till 2019 as subsidiary of General Dynamics SATCOM Technologies, a USA based business unit of General Dynamics C4 Systems, operating as General Dynamics Mission Systems. VertexRSI was owned by Tripoint Global, a privately held company in New York who bought Vertex in 1999 from Vertex Corp. Tripoint Global was composed that time of RSI, Prodelin, Gabriel Electronics & Microwave and CSA Wireless Communications. Tripoint Global merged Vertex with RSI to become VertexRSI. GDSatcom acquired Trpoint Global in 2004.

In 2019 VertexRSI (GDSatcom) was acquired by CPI, Inc.

Engineer J. Rex Vardeman started working at LTV Electrosystems (a division of LTV Corporation) later to become E–Systems, Inc. Vardeman served in several progressively responsible engineering and management positions related to the development of standards and the design of large satellite communications earth station antennas.

In 1973, Vardeman and A. Don Branum founded Radio Mechanical Structures, Inc. (RMS) in Kilgore Texas that was sold in 1977 to Harris Corp. The acquisition would form Harris Satellite Communications as a division of Harris Corp.

Vardeman served as Vice President and General Manager and a Director and Branum as Vice President and Director until the acquisition.

In 1984, Vardeman, Branum, and other key employees purchased Harris Antenna Operations and formed Vertex Communications Corporation, where Vardeman served as Chairman of the Board, CEO, and President and Branum as Senior Vice President and Director of the company from April 1994 to April 1998.
