Are you inspired by the idea of supporting our nation’s critical infrastructure and securing communications for first responders, utilities, and transportation?
Does the prospect of joining a growing, nationally established, multi-location business and installing, configuring, and troubleshooting a variety of specialized police, fire, or utility equipment appeal to you?

RACOM has earned its exceptional reputation for delivering the highest quality products and services over its 40+ year history. In February 2023, Eastern Communications acquired RACOM corporation, and now comprises 250 employees across 17 locations nationwide.
