What Connectivity Point Design & Installation (CPDI), The Connectivity Group does

Connectivity Point Design & Installation (CPDI), operating under The Connectivity Group, is a privately held technology infrastructure services integrator founded in 2002 and headquartered in Auburn, Maine. The company designs, installs, and maintains multi-discipline technology systems for commercial buildings across structured cabling (copper and fiber), wireless networks, audio visual and collaboration solutions, security systems (video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, air quality sensors), telephony and paging, and lifecycle services including warehousing, staging, and project management. Revenue is generated through project-based installation contracts, hardware resale, and recurring maintenance service agreements, with pricing quote-based per project.

CPDI operates from five owned offices across the Northeast (Auburn ME, Worcester MA, Salem NH, Cranston RI) and Southeast (Columbia SC), and extends its reach to projects in 49 US states and 21 countries via a pre-qualified international partner network. The company maintains authorized dealer and integrator relationships with a broad OEM stack including CommScope, Biamp, NEC, Mitel, Crestron, Verkada, Shure, Poly, Logitech, and Axis Communications, and was recognized as the 2021 #1 national dealer for Biamp's Cambridge Sound Management Qt Pro Line. Customer base spans at least eight verticals — commercial construction, finance and insurance, government, healthcare, hospitality and retail, K-12 and higher education, manufacturing, and professional services — with more than 90 school districts served and recognized logos including AAA, Amica, IDEXX, Hannaford, Brandeis University, and University of Vermont.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by inside sales, supported by content marketing, SEO, webinars, industry events, and a SkillsUSA NH telecommunications cabling program. CPDI grew via the 2020 acquisition of Business Communications Systems, Inc. in Worcester, MA, consolidated its Maine operations into a new Auburn headquarters in 2022, and has been repeatedly named to Best Places to Work lists across ME, NH, MA, RI, and SC. It remains independent with no disclosed private equity or venture capital backing.
