RVW Inc. has grown up with the telecommunications industry. Since 1952, we’ve been providing high quality engineering services. From open wire to fiber optics, from cord boards to softswitches, we’ve kept pace with changing technology, and assisted in the development of new technologies. For example, field work by RVW led to the implementation of cable attenuation specifications now used widely in the industry.
Our Telecommunications Engineering team has also conducted field trials of:
- Fiber-optic terminals
- Single mode fiber-optic cable
- Basic Exchange Telephone Radio Service (BETRS)
- Digital switching
- Remote digital switching
For start-to-finish design and engineering for any size project, billing services, or facilities design and construction, turn to RVW for innovative, cost-effective solutions.
