The firm, whose headquarters is based in Baltimore, Maryland, began with a few customers, primarily within public transportation, and with several leading integrators and manufacturers.

Additionally, Intelect’s staff of engineers and technicians have been trained in several technically challenging areas including: assembly, manufacturing, troubleshooting, testing & diagnostics, maintenance, repairs, systems design, project management, project implementation, programming and end-user training.
