Where utility work
meets wireless.
That's our niche.

McDonough Electric built its wireless reputation doing what most telecom contractors cannot — installing carrier-grade small cell equipment on energized medium-voltage utility poles. New England's leading RF integration firms trust us as their MV contractor of choice.

The MV contractor every RF firm in New England
calls first.

Most telecom contractors are comfortable on cell towers and rooftops. When the installation requires working on an energized medium-voltage utility pole, they need a utility linework partner. That is McDonough Electric.

During the 5G small cell buildout, McDonough Electric became the go-to MV utility contractor for New England's leading RF integration firms — capturing an estimated 85% of all small cell installations on medium-voltage utility poles in our service area.

Trusted MV Partner

Two disciplines.
One crew.
No subcontracting.

RF integration firms bring the network expertise. McDonough Electric brings the utility credential — IBEW lineworkers trained to work safely on energized MV poles, proper clearance coordination, and the fleet to mobilize across New England at scale.

Our role is clearly defined: we execute the utility pole work. Network commissioning and RF tuning is handled by our RF firm partners. Together we deliver a complete small cell installation.
