About Us

From the walls, out.

Our formative roots are in infrastructure design so our visceral understanding of data communications is unmatched. Over twenty years ago we began designing and constructing networking and cabling solutions for businesses. As the telecommunications industry began to explode with endless options for sophisticated unified business communications and security systems, Empire was well positioned to bring these offerings under our banner. Because we understand the internal workings of today’s tech-laden communications systems, we are better equipped than our competitors in understanding the nuances of deploying various voice, data, security or audio visual equipment to help your business run more efficiently.  As part of our growth, we’ve been recognized as an Avaya Enterprise Business Partner SME Expert, Authorized Aruba Networks Dealer.
