Company History

The Harbor City Corporation dba ACC Telecom, was founded in 1979 by Barry and Susan Hunt as a business machine and supply communications company and quickly grew in scale to accommodate the rapid advancement—and public interest— of business communications systems, voice and data cabling, overhead paging, and unifying communications. The name ‘ACC’ came directly from college basketball’s Atlantic Coast Conference because at the time, Maryland Terrapins were part of the ACC conference.

Barry first dappled in telecommunications when he was drafted as a Marine in the Vietnam War, which ignited his interest in voice technology and his vision to always be on the forefront of telecom advancements. After marrying Susan, who was extremely tech savvy and a very smart business leader, she convinced Barry that they should start The Harbor City Corp. dba ACC Telecom as a partnership, which they still own and operate today.

In 2002, ACC Telecom provided the first-ever cloud-based phone system in Maryland.  Using Broadworks / Broadsoft Cloud Licenses (the creators of VoIP Technology), ACC secured contracts with Baltimore City and other local enterprises.  ACC was one of the very first adopters of this brand-new revolutionary technology in the nation; however, the technology and internet bandwidth was before its time and the world was not ready for VoIP at the end-user level in 2002.

Five years later, we revisited Voice over IP (VoIP) technology and began offering cloud-based phone systems and services (3CX, 3CX Hosted & CoreNexa) and SIP Trunks.  We now offer a variety of cloud-based systems including business phone systems, surveillancedata backupSD-WAN and so much more.
