What triple c communications does

Triple C Communications is a privately held Colorado-based wireless communications systems integrator and Value Added Reseller (VAR), founded in 1965 as Call Control by Lee C. Crout and operating today under the leadership of Doug Sharp, who acquired ownership in 2016. Headquartered in Englewood, the company serves the Denver metropolitan area and surrounding Colorado communities with two-way radios, Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems, in-building wireless infrastructure (Distributed Antenna Systems and Bi-Directional Amplification), microwave and Wi-Fi backhaul, FCC licensing assistance, radio rentals, and maintenance/repair contracts. Its customer base spans public safety agencies, state and local government, federal facilities (including NREL), education, transportation, utilities, oil and gas, construction, hospitality, and event organizers. The company holds authorized dealer relationships with Kenwood and Motorola Business Solutions, and partners with Alert Systems Group (disaster early warning), Lone Peak Licensing (FCC filings), and TapHere! Technology (signal testing).

The company's technology stack emphasizes public-safety-grade in-building RF coverage: BDA systems and "Leaky Cable" antenna technology for hard-to-reach areas, DAS networks, iBwave-based engineering design, and remote network monitoring software with firmware upload and subscriber management capabilities. Triple C reportedly handles projects ranging from 20,000 sq ft to over 1 million sq ft, with a typical in-building system budget of approximately $35,000 for capital projects above 5,000 sq ft. Named engagements include the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's 220,000 sq ft Research Support Facility, the Ralph L. Carr Judicial Complex (a 4-story courthouse plus 12-story office tower in Denver), and the LEED Gold-certified Denver Eastside Human Services Building. The portfolio functions as a coordinated ecosystem in which radio hardware is complemented by in-building coverage infrastructure, backhaul, licensing, and ongoing maintenance.

Triple C's revenue model combines hardware resale (two-way radios, amplifiers, repeaters, OEM product lines), project-based professional services (installation, integration, BDA testing), recurring maintenance contracts billed per radio per month, usage-based event rentals (daily/weekly/monthly), and pay-as-you-go repair at $120/hour. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with on-site assessments, supported by direct phone outreach (303-850-9000) and a quote-based website funnel; most pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm is privately held under Doug Sharp's ownership since 2016, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment, and operates exclusively within Colorado with no international footprint.
