Incorporated in 1990 as a provider of voice and data services to business, educational and residential customers, Warwick-based J&B Communications Inc. has steadily grown and expanded both its reach and service offerings.
Today, the family-owned and-operated company not only represents vendors from Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts but also provides indoor structured wiring, closed-circuit television cameras, video-management installation and access control, plus outside plant services running copper and fiber cables.
“Over the years, J&B has become proficient in providing and installing large and small telephone systems and also installing data systems and repairing them,” said Robert O’Connor, president. “Our techs are trained for the latest innovations in cabling and fiber installations.”
In addition to completing a cabling job for a large retail store at the Providence Place mall, J&B recently wrapped up a large project at Providence College, converting 100 existing analog surveillance cameras to digital and installing nearly 50 new Axis digital cameras. The company also entered into a new relationship with a major national company that manages information technology for larger retail stores and restaurant chains where J&B will troubleshoot, repair, and install cable and equipment.
