The bloke on the tools

You get Jackson. That's the whole point.

Summit Communications isn't a franchise or a call centre with a local number. It's me — Jackson — turning up, quoting exactly what you need, and installing it myself, right across North-West Tasmania.

a little about me…

Certified coffee nerd. I weigh my beans to the gram every morning — turns out that same fussiness pays off on a tidy cable run, too.

Who turns up

Local, independent, and here for the long run.

I've been around this industry a while. I cut my teeth installing NBN fixed wireless and satellite from 2016 to 2018 — everywhere from Arthur River on the far west coast to Scottsdale past Launceston — so I know Tasmanian connectivity, and the reality of getting people online out in the bush. Since then I've run kilometres of Cat6a and internal fibre (GPON) on a major structured-cabling project across multi-office sites in Australia and overseas, designed and installed big PA systems for conventions, and handled live-streaming and hybrid setups for meetings and weddings.

These days I bring all of that home to the North-West coast, with a real focus on CCTV and security, networking and cabling done properly. I trained in IT media and design (Cert II, TasTAFE), and I still geek out over the gear — but what I care about most is a tidy, honest job you can rely on.

I keep it to one thing: quality gear, installed properly, that you own outright. No monthly fees, nothing parked in someone else's cloud, and one person to call if it ever needs a look.

How I work

What you can count on.

You own everything

The recorder lives in your home, the cameras and gear are yours, and there’s no subscription. If I vanished tomorrow, your system would keep working exactly the same.

One person, start to finish

I quote it, I install it, and I’m the one you call if it ever needs a look. No call centre, no franchise, no rotating cast of subbies.

Done properly, left tidy

Cabling run to the rules, penetrations sealed, everything labelled. The kind of job you’d be happy to show someone.

Straight talk on gear

I’ll tell you what’s worth the money and what isn’t — and I’m happy to fit equipment you’ve already bought.

Where I work

Based in Burnie, covering the North-West.

On the road most days between the coast and the hinterland: Burnie, Somerset, Wynyard, Penguin, Ulverstone, Devonport, Smithton, Latrobe, Deloraine. If your town's on that list, you're in range.
