History
Advanced Communications was founded in 1983. Later, in 1984 it was incorporated. ACI started out as a local residential installation company which has since evolved into an beginning to end full service communications contractor. ACI offers voice, video and data solutions designed to provide complete "turnkey" installations with single-source responsibility.
During the mid 80's the industry was moving toward rebuild so ACI followed suit. Performing rebuild services all across the United States. Including Michigan, Massachusetts, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Southern Carolina, Missouri, and California.
In the late 80's the International Cable Market began to take shape. Once again ACI was there for its inception and eventual solidification. ACI worked in markets from England to Tahiti performing all manor of services from consulting, to installation, to construction. We spent 11 years in the international market during which time we grew to a staff of 600 employees, 250 routes a day, and 300,000 installs a year.
In the early 90's ACI added additional services to our repertoire. Services which transformed us into a single solution communications contractor. We increased our Aerial and Underground construction services to include coax and fiber splicing, sweeping and certification. During this time we also added our Network Services Group which specializes in LANs and WANs, telephony infrastructure, and a host of other premise wiring services.
During the late 90's the emergence of the World Wide Web began to transform the telecommunications industry. In keeping up with the advances in communications, ACI began performing high speed data installations, telephony, and created a sales team to help the cable company's sell their new products to the ever increasing market. The late 90's also saw the beginning of our Design Services Group and a complete refocus on the US market.

Letter from the President
The telecommunications industry is entering a dynamic new era. For the first time in history we are seeing the convergence of voice, video and data technologies.
The result will be the super information highway that revolutionizes the way we do business. We will evolve into a much smaller world, a competitive global economy that accelerates the pace of change exponentially.
Advanced Communications, Inc. (ACI) is there to provide a complete turnkey solution for your telecommunications needs.
From network design to construction and ultimately network certification, we do it all!!! Seldom, if ever, do we subcontract the services required in the design, installation, construction, or certification phases of your network.
Over the years, we have found our "in-house" staffing policy to be the primary reason we can meet the customers schedule with a high quality and cost effective network.
Our staff recognizes that one network constructed on time, in accordance with quality standards and within budget, leads to a satisfied customer which leads to the construction of another network and another and another and another . . . . . .
The staff is quite simply ACI's strongest asset and is unequivocally our most devastating weapon against the competition. ACI's "in-house" staff has been carefully selected with rigorous standards established by our Human Resources Department.
All recruits are trained in our technical training centers which provide class room training and simulated field training, as opposed to just on-the-job training. In order to promote longevity with the staff at ACI, we offer all employees a competitive compensation scheme including a full benefits package. This is illustrated by a staff of over 800 employees with an average tenure at ACI of 5 years.
In addition to selection and training, our staff has been working in a carefully crafted culture created by communicating our value system, known as the "ACI Way", throughout the organization. Our driving value is Customer Satisfaction, followed by Development of People, Open Communications, Empowerment and Concern for People.
ACI's human resources process, compensation packages and value system are aligned to produce a highly knowledgeable and motivated staff known as "Team ACI".
Don't be left behind! Join the telecommunications revolution and let Team ACI Connect Your World and Beyond . . . . . .
Sincerely,
Advanced Communications, Inc
Michael A. Falsetti
