What Teknon does

Teknon, now operating as LINX Pacific Northwest following a 2019 merger with Denver-based LINX, is a low-voltage contracting firm founded in 1984 and headquartered in Redmond, Washington. The company designs, installs, certifies, and services structured cabling systems (CAT5e through CAT7, fiber optic, and wireless) alongside licensed electrical work for commercial, healthcare, government, education, data center, retail, hospitality, and stadium clients. Its service portfolio spans core network cabling and electrical contracting plus value-add modules: Program Management (single-point-of-contact delivery), Design-Build, Risk Management, and recurring Support Services (reactive tiers plus managed remote monitoring and on-site specialist offerings). Internal proprietary tools — LINX Trax for project tracking/testing and TrackVia for custom operational applications — provide operational backbone but no disclosed AI/ML capability.

The business operates a direct, project-based, quote-driven go-to-market targeting enterprise and government clients, primarily in Washington State and Colorado, with disclosed flagship projects ranging from $250K to $6.3M and a portfolio exceeding 10,000 completed technology projects since founding. Revenue is generated through professional services contracts (structured cabling and electrical installation projects) supplemented by managed services contracts. Under parent company LINX, the firm employs over 1,500 people with a 2.4% turnover rate, holds BICSI RCDD certifications, and reports annual contract work exceeding $120 million, positioning it as one of the largest low-voltage contractors in Washington State.
