SNR Systems

Communication networks are frequently required to transport important information across metro- politan regions, the country and even the globe. As a network engineering/cybersecurity-focused system integrator, SNR Systems works to create solutions for complicated mission-critical communi- cation network problems.

Mike Simon, Dave Nett and Tom Ries founded SNR Systems in 2006 after having worked on the communication technology vendor side. “We didn’t nec- essarily like having to sell only the things our company had to sell,” said Simon, SNR Systems president. “We started SNR Systems so we could develop best-of- breed solutions for our customers and recommend what we felt was the most appropriate technology integrated in the most appropriate way to solve their mission-oriented problems.”

SNR Systems puts significant resources into training its engineers and designing and producing purpose-built tools that allow it to accomplish projects faster and more reliably, with less human intervention. According to Simon, these investments have helped SNR Systems bring effective and innovative solutions to the market it works in, giving the small but growing company a competitive edge.

sion, Simon, Nett and Ries went in search of a larger space. When they saw St. John Properties’ Ashburn Technology Park, they knew it would be a perfect fit. While planning and designing the new lab space, SNR Systems faced schedule constraints and unusual power and build- ing requirements that St. John Properties SNR Systems puts significant resources into training its engineers and designing and producing purpose- built tools that allow it to accomplish projects faster and more reliably, with less human intervention. was able to help the company meet. When the company recently needed to install an antenna to receive satellite signals for GPS timing, St. John Properties helped make that happen. “They built it out for us the way we needed it,” Simon stated. “They were very flexible, very accommodating. They did a great job for us, and they con- tinue to do a nice job for us.”

When SNR Systems outgrew its previous innovation lab and had no room for expan-
