What iComS - Internet and Communication Solutions Inc. does

iComS - Internet and Communication Solutions Inc. (DBA ICOMMS) is a privately held Maryland corporation founded in 2000 and headquartered at 8521 Muscatello Ct, Gaithersburg, MD 20877. The company operates as an independent IT hardware value-added reseller and refurbisher, supplying new and pre-owned networking equipment, servers, storage, and optical modules from a broad OEM portfolio including Cisco, Juniper Networks, Dell, HP, Broadcom (Brocade), Ciena, and Alcatel-Lucent. Its core offerings span Cisco Catalyst, Nexus, and ASR/ISR families, Juniper MX/QFX/EX/ACX/CTP families, Dell PowerConnect and PowerEdge systems, Broadcom/Brocade Fibre Channel switches, Ciena 8100/5000/XGS-PON platforms, and 10G/25G/100G transceiver modules, complemented by component-level repair services across servers, storage, networking gear, and peripherals. Refurbished inventory is positioned at 50-85% off manufacturer list prices with a lifetime warranty on Cisco hardware and a minimum five-year warranty on Juniper and other brands.

ICOMMS serves three customer categories: small and large enterprises, and US government entities, with marketing language that emphasizes the DC/MD/VA corridor alongside nationwide next-day delivery and a 3-hour regional turnaround for in-stock items. Revenue streams combine new hardware sales, refurbished hardware sales (the dominant differentiated offering), paid component-level repair services, and a Buy Back / Asset Recovery program that purchases decommissioned networking equipment from customers, creating a circular supply chain that feeds the refurbishment business. Distribution is via direct field sales in the DC/MD/VA region, an e-commerce-style website with quote request functionality, and direct email/phone sales channels ([email protected], [email protected], 301-355-5014). Marketing is limited primarily to the company website, a weekly newsletter, and basic social media presence (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube), with adjacent technology partnerships with VMware and Veeam indicating modest intent to bundle software alongside hardware.
