To better reflect its growing line of products, Hose-McCann Telephone Co., Inc. officially changed its name in 2006 to Hose-McCann Communications. Founded in Brooklyn, NY in 1923 by partners, Charles G. Hose and Thomas J. McCann, Hose-McCann innovated and developed the first safe, reliable and rugged sound powered communication system for marine use, for which they successfully received a patent. The system was adopted by the US Military and proved to be virtually indestructible. In 1994, one of the Hose-McCann telephone systems was found aboard the WWII Liberty Ship the SS Brown in perfect working order.
The company was purchased by the Grande family in 1964 and eventually moved to Deerfield Beach, Florida to be closer to the booming marine and ship building industry. With the purchase of United Marine, Canada’s premier communication specialists in 1999, Hose-McCann became the world’s first Maritime Communications SuperStore™. As leaders in the marine industry, Hose-McCann Communications solutions are used by the US and Canadian Coast Guards, the US Navy and by the world’s leading maritime nations.
In addition to installations on marine vessels, Hose-McCann communication and alarm systems are installed in high-rise buildings, factories, tunnels, transportation depots and bridges throughout the United States and Canada.
