Offering site acquisition, planning and surveying, civil, structural and electrical engineering services, Advantage Engineers also provides zoning and permitting, construction management, and inspection and verification for both wireless and fiber deployments. IT will operate under the Network Connex umbrella, forming the backbone of its Engineering & Professional Service Line and complementing Network Connex’s existing Fiber, Data Center, and Wireless and Construction Service Lines. Advantage Engineers will maintain both the Advantage Engineers and Synergy operating brands.
“The acquisition of Advantage Engineers aligns perfectly with Network Connex’s strategic objective to expand our engineering and professional services capabilities and strengthen our nationwide footprint, especially on the West Coast and in the Mid-Atlantic region,” said Network Connex CEO Jim Estes. “The combined offering will allow us to better serve our customers and provide an end-to-end solution, from initial design and engineering through construction, upgrades, and ongoing maintenance across data centers, fiber and wireless infrastructure.”
Network Connex has continued to expand its operations across the country. In December 2019, it expanded its Fiber, Wireless and Construction Service Lines through the acquisition of Vertical Communications, LLC, allowing Network Connex to offer turnkey solutions to wireless, small cell and fiber providers in the South-Central United States. In June 2020, Network Connex expanded its Fiber Service Line through the acquisition of Precision Design Services, Inc., a fiber network engineering business serving the greater New York area.
