What Our Clients Say

Lucas Mulkern, Director of Rooms, Hotel Commonwealth

Working with The Navicon Group was great. They were knowledgeable about the cameras and how to use different types in different situations, helpful migrating existing cameras into the new system and even ran extra cables to accommodate the new cameras when we were ready to expand.

Dianne Hills, Executive Director, My Brother’s Table.

Being so understaffed, we rely heavily on our Axis technology to keep our volunteers, service providers and guests safe wherever they are in this huge facility. We can see what’s happening in all the different corners, control access to specific doors, and still create a welcoming atmosphere for our guests.

Megan Tremouliaris, Easton Sunoco

I have nothing but good things to say about K & M . They installed our home security system and it has worked out great. We will also be using them in the future to update our business security system. Definitely recommend!

Sean, Chuckran Auto Parts

William Silver, Chelmsford Public Schools

In the realm of structured cabling The Navicon Group stands out as a leader. Many companies claim they have the knowledge, expertise, and manpower to complete large scale cabling installations, but they consistently deliver high quality work done on time and on budget. When considering a cabling vendor for any of your upcoming projects you owe it to yourself and your organization to talk to The Navicon Group.

Gary Hoffstein, Security Lock Distributors

I have used The Navicon Group for over 10 years after using many wiring companies before who didn’t get the job done on time or ran over budget. Their team is the best. Every job over the past decade has been on time and within budget. I can’t say enough about the quality of work!

Luke Callahan, Groton-Dunstable Regional School District

The Navicon Group has been a wonderful partner in our district’s infrastructure upgrades. Their team provided needed expertise in a professional manner, allowing us to bolster internal and external bandwidth through installation of Cat 6 and 10GB fiber cabling, replaced wireless access points, properly documented of all this work and best of all, they have supported our district goals to expand the use of educational technology. As with any large scale project, communication and details matter the most and this is where The Navicon Group and their talented team was at its best!
