History

Established in 1982.

TSAChoice began in 1982 as Telephone Systems of Asheville, a division of MB Haynes Corporation, and quickly became the dominant telephone equipment, data wiring and fiber optics provider in the area. In 1995 TSA’s original management team of Bill Arledge, Jeff Lowdermilk, and Dan Higgins bought the company from MB Haynes.

In 1999 TSA purchased Choice Computer Center, a local network services company, and changed its name to TSAChoice, mirroring the global convergence of the voice and data industries.

In 2007 the company began providing conference room automation and video-​conferencing for businesses, and automation and entertainment systems for homes. More recently TSAChoice earned its North Carolina security license, allowing them to offer customers card-​access, video surveillance and alarm systems, and other security applications.
