The world of audio and video custom installation is fast approaching the expanded use of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) communication to utilize the power of IP-based networks. As the "all-in-one IP network hardware provider for the Custom Installer," Pakedge is proactive to ensure that devices made for this purpose are tested and have reliable wireless and wired network designs in which to operate IP-dependent systems.
The Pakedge Alliance Initiative is a collaborative effort among the best manufacturers within the custom installation industry to ensure device interoperability, streamlined product development, and correct implementation of standardized IP communication to facilitate simple implementation for the installer and seamless operation for the end user. This is an ongoing effort as new devices are introduced to the market and new manufacturers test the boundaries of TCP/IP.
As part of the Pakedge Alliance, manufacturers can be assured that their devices will be operating on the most robust and reliable network hardware available to custom installers. This strategic relationship also provides the opportunity for co-marketing activities, including trade shows, presentations, promotion campaigns and logo usage.
The Alliance Initiative also provides the Custom Installer with an added level of assurance that Pakedge is committed to serving this unique market with the support of existing systems and the development of new technology.
