Vision, Growth, and Expansion
THE SAC STORY
1996 - Vision
Our founders were wireless industry colleagues who envisioned a way to better serve the wireless carriers with quick and responsive services, innovations, and solutions. SAC began with four visionaries, one truck, and a garage that steadily grew to become a full turnkey end-to-end services provider that played a major role in developing the nation’s wireless network infrastructure with a primary focus on helping wireless telecommunication network customers identify and acquire sites to build, commission, maintain, upgrade, and operate.
2014 - Growth
In 2014, Nokia of America Corp acquired SAC Wireless to be its primary service deployment provider. Within just a few years, SAC had the largest site acquisition team and one of the largest field tower services workforces across the nation.
As one decade ended and a new one began, SAC’s teams worked tirelessly to help customers complete the nation’s 5G buildout while installing safe and reliable broadband services in underserved communities, including Native American lands and rural counties. Around this time, SAC contracted with some of the nation’s largest public utility companies to address a wide range of operational challenges with private communication network design and deployment.
2024 – Expansion
Today, SAC is stronger than ever and positioned to deliver innovative services and solutions to a wide variety of customers from coast to coast.
Our Customer Delivery Group (CDG) continues to provide enterprise clients, national and regional wireless carriers, tower companies, and broadband providers with industry-leading project management, including Telecom Site Acquisition, Architecture & Engineering, and Construction.
As the nation transitions to clean and renewable energy, the SAC Enterprise Delivery Group (EDG) brings mission-critical deployment and network connection solutions to public utilities and the operators of EV charging station networks and commercial solar energy systems.
