VoIP Providers & Business Phone Companies in Punta Gorda, FL

Telephone & Network Technologies, which often goes by TNT, is a telecommunications contractor that designs, installs and maintains business phone systems along with the cabling and network infrastructure behind them. Commercial, institutional and industrial organizations make up its core client base, and it also takes on residential automation work.

For buyers on Florida's Gulf Coast, the nearest location is its office in Punta Gorda. The company also operates sites in Hooksett, New Hampshire and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and covers customers across New England and Florida.

VoIP and Phone System Offerings

At the center of TNT's voice business is the Wildix platform, a unified communications system with a collaboration app that runs in a web browser and suits companies of many sizes. The firm also supports Samsung, Grandstream and Avaya systems and Yealink handsets.

Clients can pick an on-premise VoIP switch or a cloud-hosted IP phone service, and TNT helps them weigh their requirements before deciding. Deployments range from a single user up to organizations with several sites. Its voice capabilities include:

• VoIP and browser-based VoIP PBX
• SIP trunking with e911-compliant capabilities through its agency relationship with Stratus Telecom
• Digital and analog telephone service
• Call center tools such as IVR, ACD and UCD
• Upkeep of older AT&T, Alcatel-Lucent, Merlin, Rolm and Nortel equipment

Technicians are on call around the clock, and the company sells maintenance agreements built around preventive care, which may appeal to businesses that want ongoing support after installation rather than a one-time setup. New inquiries come in through a web form, and TNT aims to reply within 24 hours.

Related Infrastructure and Specialties

Beyond phones, TNT handles structured cabling for voice and data, network installation, IT and network services, surveillance and security, sound systems and sound masking, and commercial and home automation built on Control4.

It is an engineered systems dealer for Bogen intercom, paging and clock products, which makes it a fit for schools, whether a single building, a campus or an entire district. The company says it has deep experience in clinical healthcare settings that must follow HIPAA rules, and it also works with retailers, nonprofits, municipalities, and state and federal agencies.

Background and Credentials

Roger Carrier started the business in 1990 after spending twenty years at AT&T/NYNEX. He has since retired, and Brian Maillet now serves as president. TNT has about 30 full-time staff, and its management team brings more than a hundred years of telecom experience between them. Its Florida staff include senior technicians focused on phone systems and Control4.

The team holds a range of certifications, including BICSI installers, a registered RCDD engineer, and credentials from Siemon, Avaya Systimax, Hubbell, Ortronics, Leviton, AMP, Krone, Corning and OSHA. The New Hampshire headquarters sits in a 50,000-square-foot building that TNT shares with partner Utility Service and Assistance.

For companies that want one contractor to handle VoIP, cabling and building systems together, its mix of a three-decade track record, multi-vendor phone expertise and in-house infrastructure crews is its main distinction.
