Some words about Access Networks…
Whether it’s the misconceptions about wireless and VLAN networks many of our clients experience or simply the challenge of designing robust networks, the category of networking has historically posed some time consuming challenges for our company. Enter Access Networks.
Whether the application is complex or pedestrian, Access Networks has a solution both scalable and sellable. The dependability of their work, allows us the predictability of success. Their networks support all of the other products we are deploying. And because they have a history of working with integrators like us, we get the benefit of their experience- even with new products.
Access Networks has been a true ally in enabling us to build a strong and efficient IT offering. No longer do we have to have a Senior Tech on the job. We can deliver and commission a project with any tech on staff; a benefit to both our company and our clients. Finally, they even have personnel available to turn to on weekends, which is a perfect match for our service philosophy. To us, Access Networks means one less concern at the finish.
Our decision to partner with Access Networks was based both on the outstanding feedback we’ve heard from our dealers and their reputation for delivering properly configured and robust enterprise-grade networks. Knowing we can simply plug in a properly configured network in a crowded networking environment such as CEDIA, provides ihiji with the foundation to achieve success at this year’s Expo.
We have now completed our first deployment of an Access Unity Networksm in a huge job in Florida and I can tell you that the system is the most advanced network we have deployed. Access Networks’ promise of a powerful, pre-programmed, plug-and-play Enterprise networking solution is real. This project implementation has exceeded my expectations.
Over the past two years working with Access Networks, we have repeatedly been impressed with the robust and stable foundation the Access Unity Network provides our dealers and their Savant deployments. The fact that they were able to provide us with a single networking foundation that powered the equivalent of three independent houses all running on the same network was a key part of the success Savant enjoyed at this year’s (2010) CEDIA Expo.
Axiom Design is nearly a 20 year old “Electronic Lifestyle” home technology services company. We specialize in design, engineering and software development for new and existing residential technology projects around the world. Recently, Axiom was researching IT partners as a way to enhance the IT services we offer our clients and after talking with several organizations, Axiom selected Access Networks to be our trusted partner in this critical area for home technology. Access Networks has a keen understanding of the IT world, network security and how the convergence between IT and AV is wreaking havoc versus bringing peace in our ever increasing connected world.
Access Networks, gets it!
To say that we are pleased with Access Networks is an understatement. While it may not be right for every job, it does seem to fit for the vast majority . . . Unlike most networking products we are used to dealing with, theirs just work, so the profit is not eaten up with warranted service calls ...The products and support from Access Networks have enabled us to see that networking does not need to be difficult, so even when we are unable to sell the Access Networks products we no longer deal with the headaches of lesser products, at least not for free. They have truly become a part of our arsenal in differentiating ourselves from our competition and helping us satisfy all of our clients’ needs. I could not recommend them more.
What Access Networks offers the residential space is innovative and something we found very exciting. Their track record of delivering high quality systems and outstanding service to the CE community made our decision to partner with Access an easy one.
After the first hour of our first deployment, it was clear we were working with a higher standard. There was intelligent support over the phone for starters. Aside from having remarkable build quality, all the products installed quickly and operated without issue. As promised, the system automatically self-configured to our predetermined settings and began broadcasting a strong stable signal. From there, our Crestron control system easily connected and operated at the first attempt to do so. Success comes easy when clients can quickly experience the tremendous benifit of owning an enterprise-grade residential network.
As the automated home increasingly becomes connected by IP-enabled technologies, the network becomes a critical infrastructure. Crestron is proud to have Access Networks as an Integrated Partner to deliver outstanding networking solutions for Crestron environments.
"I was showing your Unity system off to an IT guy working at the house and he loved the way it worked and had nothing but praise on how easy it was to set up because your company set it up right from the beginning!"
