I looks like the Monroi site has not been updated for some time. Are they still active on the chess scene? The reason I ask is that a friend and I are considering buying their PCM unit but are leery of a company that may not be around in the not too distant future. Any info is appreciated.
I just took a look at their web site and they are definitely active. They are doing live game relay of a tournament at UTD at this moment, as I write this.

That is not necessarily MonRoi staff doing that. I will be coordinating the live broadcast of games at the Philadelphia Open next month, via both MonRoi and DGT (equipment owned by CCA), and I do not work for either company. The MonRoi broadcast works through their system and their servers. I would assume if those are still up and running then MonRoi is still alive.
They appear to still be taking orders for the PCA. My only issue would be service after the sale. Anyone know someone who has bought one of late?
Battery issues. No customer support. Unable to use it. Look around at major events and you will see far less of them now then in years past.
Infer from this what you wish.
Thanks for the information. I suspected there were issues.
If you know any, try checking with some Canadian chess players. As I recall Monroi is based in Montreal.

They are indeed in Montreal.
