What Centerline Communications does

Centerline Communications LLC is a privately held, Audax Private Equity-backed turnkey critical infrastructure services company founded in 2006 and headquartered in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts. The company designs, builds, and maintains wireless, wireline, fiber, data center, in-building cellular (DAS), public safety (ERRCS), and EV charging infrastructure across the United States and Canada. Through eleven-plus acquisitions since 2017 — including Notora (RF engineering), Onsite (wireless construction), Waveguide (fiber), Maicom (data center power/HVAC), J5 (wireless/wireline), Leaf (small cell/5G), Skyline (Canadian engineering), PPT (Canadian wireless), and NEC Group (2026) — Centerline has scaled from roughly 300 to more than 1,500 employees and consolidated its acquired brands under a unified Centerline identity as of 2023.

The company operates a project-based professional services model, selling directly to enterprise clients through a field sales motion anchored by Fortune 500 telecom carriers and tower operators including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Comcast, American Tower, Bell, and Rogers. Notable deployments include T-Mobile programs across 25 states, Mercedes-Benz Stadium and T-Mobile Arena (RF engineering), UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital (wireless infrastructure), Tesla Giga Factory (Reno, Nevada), and Eversource rebate-funded EV charging projects (including a $532,000 incentive capture). Centerline supplements its core telecom base with adjacent vertical work in healthcare facilities, stadiums and entertainment venues, commercial real estate, data centers, municipalities, and electric school bus fleets.

Differentiated capabilities include an NWSA-certified training facility in Massachusetts, membership in the NATE STAR Initiative, and a 97.6% compliance rate (779 of 798 certifications approved) managed through OneVizion's Complī platform, which together support the safety and qualification requirements that carriers impose on vendors. Revenue, ownership percentages, and contract values are not publicly disclosed.
