Rick Radonich, RCDD, Business Manager
Rick is one of the first people you’re likely to meet at Cal Coast Telecom. As a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD), Rick is able to help you design a complete structured cabling system for almost any type of project including voice, data, or video.
Friendly, sincere, and highly professional, Rick is all about quality. As he puts it: “I don’t believe in cutting corners. If you pay attention to the details, the results will always be more cost effective. For us, it’s a matter of credibility. Our customers depend on us to deliver a quality result.”
Rick also ensures that Cal Coast Telecom is up-to-date on the newest products and vendors. Since arriving at Cal Coast Telecom, Rick has designed voice and data communications networks, including FICON, ESCON, and gigabit Ethernet networks, and CATV head-end and distribution systems.
With his background in electrical engineering, (not to mention his years on a Navy nuclear submarine), Rick has a thorough understanding of the electrical engineering industry, specs, and requirements, including the issues surrounding electro-magnetic interference and security. His work on submarines provided him with a breadth of experience with cabling, plant monitoring and control equipment, electrical power generation, preventive and corrective maintenance, and working in small spaces.
In addition to his RCDD certification, Rick holds a BS in Control Systems Engineering.
