About Us

Meet the people behind Telco Depot.

Ron Bregman, President and C.E.O. 

A pioneer in the telecommunications industry, Ron is known for blazing new trails where business opportunities and technology converge.  As a computer science student at Fairleigh Dickinson University, Ron recognized the tremendous business potential presented by the breakup of the Bell System and the AT&T divesture.  In 1984, he began his entrepreneurial career by founding and serving as president of an interconnect supporting installations of large, complex communications systems.

It was the potential of new technologies and integration capabilities of messaging solutions that captured Ron's attention, and in 1989 he launched his second venture, as founder and president of ABS TALKX, Inc.  Ron expanded his vision in the messaging market, and in 1996, he founded Long Island Sound Technologies to provide sophisticated, but cost-effective voice and unified messaging solutions to leading telecom manufacturers throughout the world.

In 2001, Ron orchestrated the purchase of ECI Telecom's Business Systems division and was instrumental in negotiating and executing the strategic distribution agreement with Sprint Products Group to OEM Tadiran products in the US.  In November 2001, Ron became president and CEO of Tadiran Telecom Business Systems Ltd. and chairman and CEO of Tadiran Telecom, Inc.
