Our Mission

Edge’s Mission is to use cutting edge technology to design and develop turnkey solutions in the Fiber OSP/ISP and Wireless industries with an emphasis on Integrity, Performance, and Innovation.

Our Vision

Edge’s vision is to build a legacy of servant leaders who invest in those around them. By investing in every member of our team, we will foster an environment that develops integrity driven leaders, growth mindsets, and radical giving.

Our Core Values

  • Integrity- Doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.

  • Performance- Consistently producing products that exceed client expectations.

  • Innovation- Developing new strategies to improve efficiency and productivity.

  • Giving- None of what we do is about us. It is how we can bless others with the blessings that we have received.

  • Humility- Being able to recognize our mistakes and always being willing to learn.

  • Servant Leadership- Serving those below us, beside us, and above us without wondering what they can do for us in return.

  • Grace- Recognizing that people are far from perfect and being willing to extend grace as a first resort.

  • Growth- Always wanting to be a little bit better tomorrow than we were today.

  • People- We don’t exist without each member of our team. Without each of them, we would not be able to do what we do. The core of Edge is our people.

We value our team

Here at Edge we prioritize our employees and their families. We are able to work ahead of schedule because we take time to recognize and cultivate an environment that is fun and safe to work at.
