About

Company History

Loudoun Communications began in 1975 in Loudoun County, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C.  In 1978, the principals relocated to the Atlanta, Georgia area where the business was reestablished.  Loudoun was incorporated in 1982 under the laws of the State of Georgia. In 1985 the company purchased property just off Camp Creek Parkway in Austell, Georgia, and constructed the next shop and office facility. Then, in 2006, Loudoun moved to it’s largest venue yet, at Stitcher Court in Douglasville, GA. The company is wholly owned by Gary, Norene, and Edward Poorman and consists of two major functional areas.

Commercial Two-Way Radio Sales and Service

In 1983, Loudoun began a program of providing quality repair service and sales of two-way radio equipment.  Customer service was, and continues to be, the primary mission of the company.  Loudoun is a warranty service center for M/A-Com, the communications division of Tyco Electronics.  The company not only maintains M/A-Com equipment (including the “forerunners,” GE, Ericsson, and ComNet), but also provides warranty service on Kenwood, Vertex/Standard, and Midland/Maxon radios.  The company provides repair service locally and nationally as radios are received from all parts of the country.  Beginning in 1995, the sales function became a larger entity within the company, adding the Kenwood, Vertex/Standard, Midland/Maxon, and several other manufacturer’s radios to the sales offerings.
