Electrical Division Project Experience
Banton’s Electrical Division was formed in 1995 with the addition of Vincent Bernardo to the firm. Actively engaged in the electrical industry since 1982, Mr. Bernardo brings a broad range of general construction and electrical experience to the division.

Telecommunications Experience:
In addition to our Electrical Division's experience, Banton has continually created wireless network infrastructures for the major telecommunication carriers throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York. Metro-Mobile, Bell Atlantic, Verizon, Cingular, Nextel, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile have all entrusted Banton to build wireless sites, switch offices and administrative facilities in order to create and enhance their networks. As a result, Banton has constructed well over 200 remote sites. Banton has also built wireless sites for public entities such as municipalities, dispatch centers and the Connecticut State Police. As an added benefit to the customer, Banton has performed most the electrical aspects of these projects with our own in-house forces.
