About JEM

Business Communications Roots

Founded in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1979, JEM Communications initially provided business telecommunications, specializing in the installation and service of key and PBX systems. As the industry converged into voice, data, and video solutions, JEM evolved right alongside it, consistently embracing the latest technology.

From early voicemail systems to the networking capabilities of PBXs, and being early adopters of Mitel’s VoIP products with certified technicians, JEM has always been at the forefront of communication innovation.

Shift To Railroad Communications

In 2003, Class 1 railroads approached JEM to tackle critical supplier and quality challenges stemming from outdated and discontinued communication hardware essential for their daily operations. Recognizing the immense potential in manufacturing railroad communication products, JEM strategically shifted its entire focus to this dynamic new opportunity.

Since then, JEM has cultivated a robust network of railroad suppliers and manufacturing partners, equipped to handle every stage of the product lifecycle and evolving technology demands. Strategic capital investments and dual-sourcing ensure timely delivery of high-quality products. Today, JEM stands as a leading provider of cutting-edge software and hardware communication solutions for the railroad industry.

​​Our Goal

We strive to be the essential link for railroads, managing their design changes and quality control demands seamlessly. JEM acts as a unified coordination center, bridging railroads with a diverse array of manufacturers and suppliers to expedite product prototyping, from straightforward accessories to exceptionally complex designs.
