Communication Data Link

Communication Data Link Communication Data Link is a full service, turnkey, utilities construction company. We provide services for DOT and railroad permitting.

We are able to complete the job from start to finish; from engineering to permitting and from placement to splicing. Since its inception in 1999, Communication Data Link has prided itself on a few core principles that have continued to serve as the backbone of its business including dependability, quality, and customer care. In 2004, Communication Data Link transferred our core values into the fib

er market and began offering not only splicing capabilities, but integrated damage prevention and system auditing to its portfolio, thus providing a complete package for our fiber customers, from system installation to system maintenance and protection. Additionally the company expanded into joint utility, subdrain, and mainline water directional drilling markets. In 2012, Communication Data Link established an engineering and permitting division, allowing us to be a one stop shop for utilities construction including OSP – outside plant construction. The company serves as Mediacom’s general contractor, covering nearly two-thirds of the State of Iowa, including Des Moines, which is Mediacom’s leading national market. In addition to Mediacom, Communication Data Link’s customer base has grown steadily to reflect a broad prospectus of the industry, from government entities to the neighbor across the street; from national telecom organizations like Black & Veatch to local broadband voice and data companies. In the past 2 years, we have completed, from engineering to permitting to construction, 6 major phases of Sprint and USCC in two states covering 269 towers with 378 miles of construction
