AV-Worx “brings deep expertise in high-reliability AV deployments designed for real-time decision-making and operational performance,” according to the joint announcement.
This includes the design and integration of control rooms and emergency operations centers, video wall deployments and visualization environments and network-centric AV systems that support unified communications and collaboration across multi-site facilities.
AV-Worx has delivered projects across utilities, public safety, transportation, enterprise, government and critical infrastructure environments.
AV-Worx will continue operating under the AV-Worx name as part of the Security 101 family. Customers can expect uninterrupted service and continued support from their existing AV-Worx teams, according to the joint announcement.
“We are excited to join Security 101,” says Johannes Csonka, founder of AV-Worx, in the announcement. “This partnership allows us to scale our capabilities, expand geographically, and deliver even greater value to our customers while maintaining the engineering rigor, innovation, and service standards that define AV-Worx.”
