Since 1985, Key Communications has been helping businesses stay connected with reliable communication systems, quality installation and service, and a commitment to doing the job right.
Key Communications was originally formed in 1985 by Scott Stevens as a small telephone interconnect company, focused on selling, installing and servicing key telephone systems for small and mid-sized businesses in the Albany, NY area. Most of the new systems back then were TIE and ITT, but servicing AT&T Comkey, Merlin and Spirit, NEC, Tel Plus and Executone installations helped provide the necessary revenue for a small startup company.
As computer networks emerged, customers needed low-voltage wiring throughout their offices. Having wired office phones since 1980, Scott recognized that network wiring was a natural extension of the work. Key Communications began promoting this service as well, building new relationships and opportunities.
In 1987, Panasonic made an appearance in the phone industry with a new hybrid key system. These systems offered capabilities that helped change the way businesses thought about their phone systems.
Today, Key Communications combines decades of hands-on experience with cloud communications, structured wiring and trusted alliance partnerships to help businesses stay connected.
