What types of organizations does Online Communications serve?

What should I look for in a cabling installation vendor?
Your infrastructure provider should specialize in network installation, providing broad based knowledge in all aspects of data and voice networking. Experienced and knowledgeable staff can ensure a properly installed network infrastructure – free from hidden problems.
Why not just use my electrical contractor, or in-house building maintenance?
Most electrical contractors handle networking as a sideline to their main business, and do not employ telecomm professionals. They often lack in-depth knowledge of networking standards and do not have the test equipment required to properly certify Cat (6) (6A), and fiber installations. Testing is often nonexistent, or consists of a simple continuity check.
Are there any performance differences among various manufacturers Cat.6 products?
Absolutely! For this reason Online Communications uses only the finest quality networking components from top manufacturers such as Avaya, Ortronics, Berk-Tek, and Belden.
Can a network fail certification, but still appear to function?
Yes. An improperly installed network may appear to be functioning, although it fails Cat (6) (6A) certification. There may however, be serious hidden problems. Symptoms can include intermittent failures, slow network response, and unexplained data corruption.
