What it does: Provides services ranging from installation of switching equipment to software testing for telecom carriers and equipment manufacturers.

Why it's growing: Wireless carriers want new technology to handle bulky content such as video, while landline companies are upgrading their fiber and cable networks.

What's noteworthy: The telecom sector tanked five years ago, and some of Adex's big clients, such as Global Crossing, went bankrupt. "Our revenue stream almost completely fell off the table for three years," recalls president Gary McGuire.
