TEA provides facilities management services for public-safety telecommunications  systems, including engineering and project management services. The firm has a fully equipped electronics maintenance facility with comprehensive telecommunications test equipment. We are specialists in the Unix computer operating system and TCP/IP networking. TEA also operates the San Mateo Regional Network (smrn.com)

Comprehensive management and maintenance services based on a fixed monthly fee are available to clients that qualify. This level of service is unlike maintenance contracts available from other service providers. The level of service is similar to having an in-house technical staff, however the depth of resources is greater and the cost is less. TEA will serve as a systems integrator when requested to do so by a client, however it typically does not sell equipment.

Eight engineers are affiliated with the firm, plus consultants and subcontractors who work when needed. Telecommunications Engineering Associates is an equal opportunity employer.

The firm has never failed to complete a project on time and within budget. A very strong emphasis is placed on maintaining long-term business relationships with clients.

Telecommunications Engineering Associates (TEA), is a unique firm that is dedicated to providing advanced technology to public-safety agencies. The business is located in company-owned industrial facilities in San Carlos and specializes in providing technology services to police and fire departments. Business is equally split between land-mobile radio systems and data communications system engineering. TEA is a subsidiary of Daryl D. Jones, Inc.

Daryl Jones has been in business since 1974. He began by operating community business-band repeaters and providing radio repair service to repeater clients while being employed as a full-time police officer. Since 1981, the business has been guided away from providing service to business radio users and toward the design, installation and maintenance of public-safety communications facilities. The firm is licensed by the California State Contractors License Board as a low-voltage electrical contractor (C7-650485).
