Not Your Typical Telecommunications Contractor

Throughout WBE’s history, potential customers have come to us after hiring other telecommunications contractors. All too often, they thought they were getting a more affordable proposal and equitable solution by working with another contractor, only to discover that it was at the expense of quality, performance, and their own professional resources. The resources they personally had to sacrifice to complete the project far outweighed the savings they had first anticipated.

If an installation looks clean, everything is labeled correctly, and the crew looks professional, you can rest assured that you’re getting what you are paying for. By working with WBE, you can ensure that your critical infrastructure — the infrastructure that your employee’s productivity relies upon — will perform at its utmost potential.

Our San Francisco Bay Area Headquarters

From our San Francisco Bay Area headquarters, WBE Telcom tackles projects large and small throughout California. Have a project in another area of the country? No problem. Through our partnership, National Telecommunication Integrators (NTI), we manage projects across the United States, so you’ll always have access to an experienced telecommunications contractor in your area.

WBE’s employees reside throughout the entire Bay Area and beyond. To ensure the quickest response time, they are all supplied with company vehicles and dispatched directly from their homes. This means response times are only limited by the distance from the closest technician to the jobsite or client. It’s a luxury that allows WBE employees to service every metropolitan area in northern California.

“WBE is my #1 choice when it comes to building out network infrastructure.”

We Love a Challenge

Whether your company is a small business that houses all of your network gear in an IDF or MDF, or a Fortune 500 enterprise with a data center that’s tens of thousands of square feet, we have the responsive people, the technical experts, and the state-of-the art equipment to provide you with the data center services to meet even your most challenging situations.

Structured Cabling Design

Just like the craftsmanship that goes into the construction of your facility speaks volumes, the infrastructure in that space has a direct reflection on your company. A well-crafted data infrastructure will give your employees confidence in your operations and can attract revenue-producing customers who seek to use your facility for their cloud-based services.

Our expert voice and data cabling installation team is trained, certified, and ready to help you with your data center setup, relocation, or expansion. If you are in the market for voice and data cabling services for your organization’s data center, let us know and we’ll provide you with a consultation.

Data Center Cabling Installation

From providing pre-connectorized solutions for fiber and copper, to installing power strips and uninterruptable power supplies, the WBE team will install and maintain your company’s greatest asset: the critical systems that are so vital to your organization’s operations.

WBE employees are trained to follow customer-specific guidelines for working in each of their data center environments. This includes training in critical awareness and change control to ensure that the personnel working within the data center are of a high caliber and trusted to follow procedures to the letter.

Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) Installation

We work with leading distributed antenna vendors, such as Andrews and Corning, to design and implement advanced DAS systems for organizations and facilities of all sizes.

First-responders (police, fire, and EMS) are demanding reliable ubiquitous radio coverage to ensure the safety of the public, as well as their own. “Mission-critical” coverage can no longer end at the doorway, basement, stairwell, or tunnel. Therefore, many cities, municipalities, and counties are rapidly adopting in-building coverage ordinances. The purpose of these ordinances is to mandate a specific level of radio coverage in buildings, ensuring first-responders can communicate effectively indoors when emergencies arise.

Consumers are demanding their mobile phones work indoors just as effectively as they do outdoors. Today, industry research suggests that more than 50 percent of mobile phone calls originate and/or terminate indoors. Therefore, it is no surprise that in-building coverage solutions for cellular/PCS (Personal Communications Services) are equally desired.

 

Wireless Carrier Services

We can assist you in working with the countless carriers in the marketplace today. By negotiating services and connectivity options, we can provide the most cost effective and optimal services possible.

Wireless Network Installation

Installation made easy. We can handle everything from coax to single-mode fiber riser cable to the installation of both internal and external antenna and active components. You will experience little disruption to your employees and tenants as we install a state-of-the-art cellular wireless network within your existing facility.

Wireless Access Point Installation

When implemented by an experienced telecommunications contractor like WBE, wireless access points can provide you with reliable connections even in the most demanding environments.

We can assist you in the design and layout of your wireless network. Let our own network technicians create a heat map survey of your space that will show the ideal placement of devices, avoiding dead zones and weak coverage. Security of your wireless network is as important as the coverage itself. WBE will make the appropriate recommendations to design a robust, secure, and convenient network for your employees to use.

Telecommunications Outside Plant Cabling

Outside Plant Cabling

Many telecommunications contractors provide outside plant cabling. But few have the right combination of expertise, equipment, and project management to deliver on their promises. We leverage 36 years of experience in providing outside plant services to ensure successful outcomes.

WBE has all the resources at hand for pedestrian and traffic control, confined space training, confined space equipment, and pulling gear. We also have a long list of subcontractors for boring and trenching.

Training & Manufacturer Certifications

The employees at WBE have the highest regard for education and it shows. With three BICSI RCDD on staff, a registered on-site BICSI trainer, and numerous manufacturer certifications, you’ll find yourself working with the most educated telecommunications contractor in the industry.

Design/Build/Assist

As a telecommunications contractor that is well versed in design/build methodology, WBE Telcom’s team uses a collaborative approach to move projects from conception through completion.

At WBE, we play well with others. Add us to your project team, and we’ll help you move your project along efficiently. You’ll experience fewer delays, on-time delivery, and improved cost control.

You’ll see how easy it is to work with a company that has three BICSI Registered Communication Distribution Designers (RCDD) on staff and the resources at hand to pull all disciplines—electrical, telecommunications, network, security, and audio visual—together under one umbrella. In the end, our approach will provide you with a seamless design that encompasses all facets necessary for your data cabling/network infrastructure.

WBE employees are trained to follow customer-specific guidelines for working in each of their data center environments. This includes training in critical awareness and change control to ensure that the personnel working within the data center are of a high caliber and trusted to follow procedures to the letter.

Moves, Adds & Changes

What’s the one certainty in life when it comes to your telecommunications needs? Change. WBE stays in front of the latest technical advances to meet all of your evolving telecom requirements. Whether it’s one cable or hundreds of cables, our service team will exceed your expectations when it comes to response, communication, quality, and timely completion of your service requests.

Consistency is key. You want your telecommunications contractor to match the existing components in your cable plant precisely—not just install what they have on hand. Mismatched cabling components can cause return loss, which can result in bit errors and slower throughput; this, in turn, can make the network and its applications less productive, efficient, and stable. WBE is very sensitive to your exact cabling specifications and will exactly match what is installed in order to maintain consistency and support any and all manufacturer warranties.
