Learn moreCabling & Data Infrastructure
The backbone under every system we build — clean, documented tele-data infrastructure, new construction or retrofit.
Learn moreSystems integration
One building. One system. That’s the job.
Most facilities accumulate systems one purchase at a time — a bell system here, a paging amplifier there, cameras from whoever answered the phone. Canfield’s work is making them behave like one system: the best product for each job, custom-programmed to interoperate.
Clocks that follow the bell schedule. Paging that reaches the athletic fields. Alerts that trigger strobes, intercom announcements, and screen takeovers together.

About Canfield
Eighty-four years of dial tones, bells, and pages.
Canfield Systems has been in business since 1942, specializing in low-voltage solutions for audio, health care, intercom/clock, telephone, and correctional systems. The name has been synonymous with high-quality, long-lasting, purpose-built systems in Maine and New Hampshire for over 80 years.
Interoperability is the key to a successful communication system. We remain committed to one thing: expert design and implementation of a total communication solution — whether you’re breaking ground, retrofitting, or expanding.
See it working first. We built an operational demo kit that shows, first-hand, how these systems integrate to interoperate as one unified system. Email Scott Whitaker to schedule a demo.
