What Skyline Communications does

Skyline Communications is a privately held, founder-led low-voltage systems integrator headquartered in Everett, Washington, serving commercial, government, multi-family, industrial, K-12, and senior living facilities across the Pacific Northwest since 2001. The company designs, installs, and maintains an end-to-end portfolio of communications and security infrastructure: structured cabling (Cat6A and fiber via Leviton, Belden, Corning), IP-based CCTV and video surveillance (Axis, Milestone), electronic access control (including biometric and mobile credentials), audio-visual systems, cellular Distributed Antenna Systems supporting 3G/4G-LTE/5G-LTE NR FR-1, public safety ERRCS/DAS for 700/800 MHz and UHF/VHF emergency responder coverage, wireless nurse call for senior living (RCare), and enterprise WiFi. Technical differentiation rests on certified personnel—FCC GROL, iBwave Level II, Fluke Versiv Level III, Master Electrician—and RF heatmap-based custom DAS design engineering.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue: multi-year installation contracts scoped per facility, supplemented by ongoing service, maintenance, annual inspection, and recertification contracts. GTM is enterprise field sales targeting building owners, facility managers, and electrical contractor referral channels in the PNW, supported by content marketing via case studies and a Request-a-Quote inbound funnel. With 40+ employees and a newly constructed 100% solar-powered headquarters, Skyline operates as a mid-sized regional specialty contractor with named multi-state enterprise relationships (e.g., Columbia Distributing across 11 facilities in WA/OR/CA; 888 Apartments Bellevue) and a diversified vertical mix.

Ownership is concentrated with the Jordal family; the leadership team includes a President, VP of Contracts & Receivables, VP of Operations (Master Electrician, GROL, OSHA 30), and dedicated departmental heads for DAS, RF/Low Voltage Design, Logistics, Service, Finance, and Senior Project Management. The company presents as an OEM-agnostic integrator, carrying authorized installer status with 25+ technology brands, and is positioned around code-compliance expertise in regulated segments such as public-safety DAS and senior living nurse call.
