Local networking specialist, EDC Communications, has announced that it has merged with international technical service giant, Black Box Corporation.
EDC, established in Antrim in 1989 and Dublin in 1997, provides design, supply, installation and maintenance service for structured cabling and related computer networking products to clients throughout Ireland.
