Communications

Norfolk Communications, a division of Norfolk Electric, was formed because of the growing emphasis on data and communication systems in the modern construction marketplace.

Today's typical projects have requirements far greater than those of twenty years ago. They require fire-protection and life-safety systems, not just a fire-alarm. Yesterday's burglar alarm has become today's access-control system using card readers, badge scanners, and biometrics. Information must now be accessible, at ever increasing speeds, via both voice and computer, both wired and wireless, and it must be everywhere.

Indeed, today's requirements redefine the very word "communications".

Experience, coupled with constant and continuing education is at the heart of Norfolk Communications' success. Our licenses and certifications include:

  • City of Boston Fire Alarm System Installation
  • City of Boston Security Systems Installation
  • Rhode Island Telecommunications Engineering
  • SONET, Siemens Communication Solutions
  • Ericsson, HFC Systems and Wireless Installation
  • LGC Wireless Intrabuilding Solutions
  • Ortronics / Aurora Fiber Splicing
  • FICO Fiber Optic Placement
  • OPS Engineering: Pacific Bell, Southern Bell, Mountain Bell, Verizon

Our clients include nearly every major hospital in the Boston area, as well as Harvard School of Public Health, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dartmouth College of Science, University of Massachusetts, Tufts University and Bentley College.


Some recent projects:

Ericsson Village, Plano TX

Installation and testing of a fiber optic Distributed Antenna System, providing wireless voice and data service throughout a corporate campus.



Ted Williams Tunnel, Boston MA

Installation, testing, and provisioning of a fiber backbone carrying voice, video and control signals from hundreds of sensors, cameras and security devices to the Operations Control Center. Norfolk also installed an antenna structure allowing police, fire and ambulance units to communicate even while under Boston Harbor.
