About ECC Technologies

ECC Technologies is a leader in supporting counties, cooperatives and other groups in the development and expansion of broadband.

ECC Technologies was incorporated in 1995 to provide technology and communications consulting services to Educational, Community, and Corporate (ECC) clients. This was at the time when the nation’s telecommunications industry was changing drastically through deregulation.

As the company grew and the demand for broadband connectivity and Internet access increased, ECC found its place in the Open Access fiber optics market as a national leader. Multiple broadband fiber networks were established in New York State by the leadership of ECC to promote and organize community initiatives to develop Open Access broadband networks with the goal of spurring economic development in the regions where the networks were built. This leadership is why ECC Technologies was the 2015 recipient of the NYS Broadband Program Office’s Extraordinary Broadband Team Award.

For the past 20 years, ECC has provided technology and security consulting services to education, municipalities, government, and corporate clients. ECC continues on our mission to assist clients with the expansion of broadband and the implementation of technology and security solutions in communities to improve economic development, public safety, education, and healthcare services.

Located in Penfield NY and Research Triangle Park, NC, ECC has a team with extensive experience in the development and operation of communications networks, as well as a deep understanding of rural and municipal environments. We support projects which range from the development of complex cabling and wireless infrastructure for schools and campus environments, to county and region wide broadband networks.
