Virginia's Full-Service Communications Contractor — Licensed, Certified, and Mission-Ready
From a home with no cell signal to a naval vessel that needs fiber, Mercury Communications designs, installs, and maintains the communications infrastructure that keeps Virginia connected — residential, commercial, and government.
Every Service Mercury Communications Provides in Virginia
Eight service lines delivered by a single licensed contractor — so your project doesn't require five different vendors, five different schedules, and five different points of accountability.
Commercial DAS — In-Building 4G/5G/LTE Cellular Coverage
Modern buildings block cellular signals. Steel framing, concrete floors, and energy-efficient glass all attenuate the 4G LTE and 5G frequencies your employees, visitors, and connected devices depend on. Mercury designs and installs Passive, Hybrid, and Active Distributed Antenna Systems for commercial buildings from 25,000 to 500,000+ square feet — with an iBwave Certified RF designer on staff and full carrier coordination (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile) managed end to end.
Commercial DAS pagePublic Safety DAS — ERRCS / Emergency Responder Radio Coverage
Virginia's 2021 Uniform Statewide Building Code — effective January 2024 — incorporates IFC Section 510 and NFPA 1225 requirements for in-building first responder radio coverage. A missing or non-compliant ERRCS system can block your Certificate of Occupancy. Mercury manages the complete process: baseline RF survey, iBwave-grade system design, AHJ permit coordination, installation, post-installation grid testing, fire marshal acceptance, and annual recertification. One contractor handles it all — from survey to CO sign-off.
ERRCS pageLow Voltage Cabling — Structured Wiring, Fiber Optic & Electronic Security
Low voltage cabling is the physical infrastructure layer that every network, security system, and communications device in a building depends on. Mercury holds two required Virginia licenses — Class A for low voltage work and DCJS Electronic Security Business License #11-30083 for security system installations. Most contractors hold only one. BICSI-certified technicians install Cat6A structured cabling, singlemode and multimode fiber, server room buildouts, IP camera and access control systems, and A/V distribution for residential, commercial, healthcare, education, and government clients — all tested to TIA/EIA standards with as-built documentation delivered at project close.
Low Voltage pageStarlink Professional Installation — Homes, Farms, Businesses & Federal Sites
Starlink delivers satellite internet to locations where fiber and cable broadband don't reach — rural homes, farms, estates, construction sites, and remote facilities. But proper installation matters: dish placement, mounting type, obstructions, cable routing, and network integration all affect performance. Mercury is a Class A licensed Starlink installer with federal deployment experience — Navy, Air Force, USDA, and AAFES installations — and deep knowledge of HOA OTARD compliance for residents in planned communities. No DIY guesswork, no warranty gray areas.
Starlink pageCell Signal Booster Installation — Homes, Offices & Rural Properties
Poor indoor cell signal is caused by terrain, distance from towers, building materials, and tree coverage — sometimes all four at once. Mercury is a 5.0★ Google-rated, SBA Virginia Featured Business (2021, 2022, 2023) with 40+ years of RF experience, certified by every major signal booster manufacturer. A site-specific RF survey determines the right equipment, antenna placement, and system configuration before anything is installed — unlike box-store boosters that get mounted and hoped for. weBoost, WilsonPRO, Cel-Fi, and SureCall systems for homes, home offices, barns, and small commercial spaces.
Cell Booster pageManaged Network Services — Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, Firewall & NOC Monitoring
Mercury's Managed Network Services provide commercial and government clients with enterprise-grade network infrastructure without the overhead of an internal IT team. Managed Wi-Fi using Ubiquiti and enterprise-grade access points, SD-WAN configuration, firewall management, 24/7 NOC monitoring, and help desk support — all delivered under a single managed services agreement. Designed for organizations that need reliable, monitored, and maintained network infrastructure as a service rather than a capital project.
Managed Network Services pageManaged Print Services — Cost-Per-Page Printing & Certified Xerox Partner
Mercury's Managed Print Services give organizations predictable cost-per-page printing with all supplies, service, and next-day repair included. As a certified Xerox partner, we deploy and maintain multifunction printers, color and monochrome devices, and full fleet management — so you stop buying toner, stop calling for service, and stop overpaying for print. One simple per-page rate covers everything.
Managed Print Services pageE-Rate Eligible Services — Up to 90% Discount for Virginia Schools
The FCC's E-Rate program funds up to 90% of the cost of eligible communications infrastructure for qualifying K–12 schools and public libraries — including structured cabling, managed Wi-Fi, network switches, firewalls, and Starlink for rural campuses. Mercury holds USAC SPIN #143054774 and is an active E-Rate service provider. With FY2026 Category 2 budgets at $201.57 per student and $5.43 per square foot, now is the time for districts to use remaining budget before the current funding cycle closes. Mercury handles the full service delivery — from initial site survey through installation and documentation.
E-Rate pageGovernment & Federal Communications — SDVOSB, GSA, SeaPort-NxG
Mercury Communications is an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) with active GSA MAS Contract #47QTCA21D0027 and SeaPort-NxG Contract N0017825D7577.

Common Questions About Mercury's Services
Questions from property owners, developers, facilities managers, and procurement officers.
Mercury provides: Commercial DAS for in-building 4G/5G/LTE cellular coverage, ERRCS/Public Safety DAS for first responder radio compliance, low voltage cabling and electronic security systems, professional Starlink installation, residential cell signal boosters, managed network services, E-Rate eligible infrastructure for K-12 schools, and federal government communications under GSA MAS and SeaPort-NxG contracts.
Yes. Mercury holds Virginia Class A Contractor License #2705165655 for Electronic Communications Service contracting — the license required by DPOR for low voltage, cabling, and communications work in Virginia. For security system installations, Mercury also holds DCJS Electronic Security Business License #11-30083, required separately by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services. All field technicians performing security work are individually DCJS-registered.
Yes — and coordinating both installations through Mercury is the most cost-efficient approach. Commercial cellular DAS and ERRCS/public safety DAS use separate amplifier headends and operate on different frequency bands, but they can share antenna cabling infrastructure and IDF closet space. New construction projects that schedule both systems simultaneously with Mercury reduce total installation cost and minimize disruption to other trades.
Yes. Mercury is SDVOSB-certified and holds active GSA MAS Contract #47QTCA21D0027 and SeaPort-NxG Contract N0017825D7577. Federal agencies can procure any Mercury service directly under these contract vehicles — no separate competitive bid required.
