What Comnet Communications does

Comnet Communications is a veteran-owned telecommunications contracting firm headquartered in Livermore, Colorado, founded in 1991 by U.S. Army veteran Robert Berger. The company designs, installs, tests, and certifies low-voltage network infrastructure for commercial, government, and educational clients. Core services include structured cabling (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A), fiber optic installation and OTDR-certified testing, MDF/IDF network room buildouts, outside plant cabling, cable abatement, and temporary/swing space cabling. All work follows TIA/EIA-568A/B and BICSI standards, with documentation, labeling, and Fluke Networks-based certification delivered on every project.

The business operates on a project-based, custom-quoted pricing model with flat-rate and per-drop structures, delivering one-time installation engagements rather than recurring subscriptions. The go-to-market is direct enterprise and government field sales supported by a minimal digital presence (company website, phone, and email outreach), supplemented by subcontractor relationships with general contractors and electrical firms on commercial construction projects. Customer segments include federal, state, and municipal agencies (including classified environments); educational institutions; commercial developers and technology campuses; healthcare and industrial facilities; and general contractors requiring low-voltage subcontracting capacity.

The company is differentiated by certifications and credentials that are difficult to assemble: GSA Contract GS35F0711V for federal procurement, C-7 Low Voltage Contractor Licenses in California and Wyoming, and BICSI Top-Level ITS Technician (TE30) certification held by the founder. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the firm maintains 1–10 employees, and named federal references include the IRS, FBI, CIA, Pentagon, U.S. Armed Forces, U.S. District Courts, Federal Prisons, USPS, SSA, USDA, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Commercial customers include AT&T and Lucent Technologies.

Broad incumbents

• Accu-Tech: Accu-Tech is a national distributor of structured cabling, fiber, and network infrastructure products serving low-voltage contractors and integrators — comparable as an ecosystem participant that supports and competes with regional cabling installers like Comnet.
• Anixter (Wesco): Anixter (now part of Wesco) is a major distributor and integrator of network cabling, connectivity, and communications infrastructure products — competing indirectly through installer partnerships and integrated network solutions in the same cabling supply chain.
• Dycom Industries: Dycom is a much larger specialty contractor building and maintaining telecom and broadband infrastructure for carriers, MSOs, and government — comparable in fiber and OSP capabilities but operating at a national scale far beyond Comnet's regional footprint.
• Quanta Services: Quanta is a large infrastructure-services platform with a communications segment delivering fiber, wireless, and structured network build-outs for telecom carriers and utilities — comparable in fiber and comms construction but at a vastly larger scale and broader scope.
• MasTec Communications: MasTec's communications segment designs, builds, and maintains wireline and wireless network infrastructure, including fiber backbones and OSP — overlapping with Comnet's fiber and OSP service lines but serving carrier-scale customers rather than federal buildings.

Emerging players

• Celerity IT: Celerity IT is a network infrastructure and structured cabling services provider offering design, installation, and testing of copper and fiber systems — directly comparable in service mix and certification-driven approach but operating across different regional markets.
• Velstar (formerly Velex): Velstar is a regional low-voltage and structured cabling contractor delivering commercial and government network installations — comparable as a similarly sized specialist in the same bid pool.

Direct peers

• Faith Technologies: Faith Technologies is an electrical and low-voltage specialty contractor offering structured cabling, fiber, and network infrastructure installations for commercial, industrial, and government clients — a comparable service portfolio in the same bid pool.
• IES Communications: IES Communications is a specialty low-voltage contractor within IES Holdings delivering structured cabling, fiber, and network infrastructure services to commercial and government customers — directly comparable in service mix, certification discipline, and project-based GTM.
• Black Box Corporation: Black Box is a direct peer in structured cabling, network infrastructure installation, and low-voltage systems integration for commercial and government facilities, operating a much larger footprint with similar BICSI-aligned installation standards and federal/government customer overlap.
