CaTECH Recognized as Corning NPI Platinum Partner
CaTECH Systems is proud to be recognized as a 2026 Platinum Tier Partner in the Corning Optical Communications Network of Preferred Installers (NPI).
This recognition reflects the continued strength of the relationship between CaTECH Systems and Corning Optical Communications, as well as CaTECH’s commitment to quality workmanship, technical expertise, and excellence in the delivery of fibre optic network infrastructure and structured cabling solutions.
As organizations continue to invest in faster, more resilient, and more scalable connectivity environments, the role of certified installation partners has become increasingly important.
From enterprise networks and data centres to healthcare, logistics, commercial buildings, and multi-site environments, customers depend on infrastructure that is installed correctly, tested thoroughly, and built to support long-term performance.
Recognized Through Corning’s Network of Preferred Installers
Corning’s Network of Preferred Installers, or Corning NPI, brings together trained installation partners who support the delivery of Corning Optical Communications solutions in the field.
For CaTECH, being recognized as a 2026 Corning NPI Platinum Tier Partner is a reflection of the standards the team continues to uphold across fibre optic cabling installation, structured cabling, and network infrastructure solutions.
This recognition speaks to more than technical capability. It reflects consistency, professionalism, and the ability to deliver infrastructure that customers can rely on as their connectivity needs grow.
Why Certified Installer Partnerships Matter
Certified installer partnerships are important because network performance depends on more than the products selected. It also depends on how those products are installed, tested, and supported in real-world environments.
For customers, working with a partner involved in programs such as Corning NPI can provide added confidence that the installation team understands the technical standards, product requirements, and best practices required for dependable infrastructure delivery.
This is especially important in environments where downtime, poor connectivity, or inconsistent performance can affect business operations.
Whether the project involves a data centre, commercial building, enterprise office, campus environment, or multi-site rollout, trained and certified installers help ensure that infrastructure is deployed with the accuracy and consistency required for long-term success.
A Partnership Built on Quality and Technical Execution
According to Brandon Smith (Territory Account Manager) of Corning Optical Communications, CaTECH has demonstrated its commitment through quality workmanship, adherence to recognized industry standards, and a focus on delivering reliable outcomes for customers.
“Long-term network performance depends not only on the products selected, but also on how those systems are installed, tested, and supported in the field,” said Smith. He also emphasized the importance of trained and certified installers in fibre and network infrastructure projects.“Trained and certified installers play an important role in helping ensure fiber and network infrastructure is installed correctly, tested thoroughly, and delivered to the standards required for long-term performance. In practical terms, that helps reduce risk, improve consistency across projects, and give customers greater confidence that their infrastructure will support both current demands and future growth.”
From Corning’s perspective, the relationship with CaTECH brings together shared priorities around quality, technical execution, and delivering best-in-class solutions to clients.
Leadership Perspective from CaTECH Systems
For CaTECH Systems, this recognition reinforces the company’s continued focus on delivering reliable, scalable, and future-ready infrastructure for customers across Canada and the United States.
“Being recognized as a 2026 Corning NPI Platinum Tier Partner is an important achievement for CaTECH,” said Nick Diakopoulos, President & CEO of CaTECH Systems. “It reflects the strength of our partnership with Corning and the commitment of our team to delivering infrastructure solutions with the quality, consistency, and technical expertise our customers expect.”
As customer environments become more connected and more dependent on high-performanc
e infrastructure, manufacturer partnerships continue to play an important role in CaTECH’s delivery model.
“Our relationship with Corning helps us bring together proven technology and experienced field execution,” said Rick Pinho, Chief Strategy Officer and EVP Sales & Business Development at CaTECH Systems. “For customers, that combination matters. It gives them confidence that their network infrastructure is being delivered by a team that understands both the technical requirements and the business impact of reliable connectivity.”
