Comdial

Comdial Corporation was a telecommunications company based in Sarasota, Florida, and was headquartered in a former Lockheed plant building shared with L3 Communications.

Because of the history of manufacturing at the facility, the grounds surrounding the site has been the subject of claims of environmental contamination, namely underground toxic chemicals.

Under the operating name of Scott Technologies, a large portion of the unused Remington Arms building complex was employed.

After several mismanaged years when telecommunications services were in demand during the dot-com boom (1998–2001) and a brief frenetic attempt to sell directly to the consumer with a retail program in order to generate revenue, Comdial filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2005.

Comdial also had a large network of Authorized Dealers that marketed the small telephone systems as well as the larger PBXs.
