With 95 years of experience and four locations across Tennessee and Georgia, we are ready to design, install, upgrade and maintain your network for optimal efficiency and reliability. Our skillset is all-inclusive.
Lawson Electric is a leading provider of Central Office (CO) engineering, furnishing, installation, and testing. Every install begins with a complete site survey performed by qualified engineers. We will help you determine which networks suit your building, budget and industry. Our detailed specifications will include material needs, work steps, cable running lists, visuals, any needed database updates, and an installation plan allowing for quick turnaround. We are a one-stop shop.
We offer communications and data cabling solutions from the design to the implementation. Proper design and installation means saving space, improving efficiency and lowering costs with reduced risk for breakdowns. Whether coaxial, copper, or fiber optic, we will provide you with an optimal cabling network foundation that supports all your voice and data needs. Cabling will be spliced appropriately, installed and tested to code, taking facility specifications and priorities into account with flexibility for growth and future scalability.
A local-area network (LAN) spans a room, building or group of buildings. LAN wiring benefits from structured cabling to support high data rates. A wide area network (WAN), is not tied to a single location. WANs can facilitate communication across the globe. As data moves faster, we are here to help alleviate the strain.
We’ve got all your fiber optic solutions. Let us help you design, equip and choose components. We will determine most efficient cable routing and coordinate with other groups is in place. LANs are one of the most common premises applications for fiber. Speeds have increased from millions to billions of bits per second. Most security systems offer fiber options. Fiber has become so popular for premises applications it has become the industry standard office backbone for data and communications.

I want to thank you for a superlative effort and for a super job in the electrical installation work for our proprietary sport cap closure. Not many contractors can accomplish 4 days of work in 2, especially with the accuracy you achieved (the start-up of the equipment went flawlessly with respect to electrical aspects). The success of the electrical installation that you were able to manage under difficult conditions went far to help us achieve the progress milestone that is vital in meeting the intensive project timing. Well done and THANKS!
Underground and Aerial Cabling Systems
Aerial cabling can be cost-effective, but comes with exposure to the elements. Local authorities and customers generally prefer fiber cables to be installed underground. Buried fiber deployments are immune to the elements but often require digging up roads. We will help determine what best will meet your needs.
Main distribution frames (MDFs) installation
Your Main Distribution Frame (MDF) is the signal distribution frame or cable rack used to connect and manage telecommunication wiring between itself and any number of intermediate distribution frames and cabling from the network it supports. Our installation always takes the big picture into account so that you can work economically and efficiently.
Data Cable Termination Racks
Poor rack cable management can be a source of downtime and frustration as your data center operation grows and changes. It can lead to critical data transmission errors, safety hazards, poor cooling efficiency, and a poor overall look and feel to your data center. Let us show you how advancements in IT rack designs have improved power and data cable management.
OTDR Troubleshooting
Your optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) injects a series of light pulses into optical fiber. Reliability is crucial and depends on accuracy, measurement range, ability to resolve and measure closely spaced events, measurement speed, and ability to perform satisfactorily under various environmental extremes. We will get your company up and running and keep you there.
Voice and Data Patch Panels
Patch panels provide connection points, allowing voice and/or data service to be routed virtually anywhere in your network. We will configure and install for maximum efficiency.
