Not long ago, control room installations were only needed by select customers in government agencies, and only a few integration firms were considered capable of supporting these mission-critical IP control applications. But now, whether it’s a control room or a meeting space, all integrators are in this line of work, to an extent.

Likewise, there’s a huge line of 4K fiber optic extenders, IP transceivers, fiber kits and other IP control products to choose from.

But it’s not about the products. The value that integration firms and consultants bring to customers is in understanding their unique organization challenges and designing systems that solve them.

That being said, products are a big part of those solutions. Throughout 2017 the industry saw great innovation from its manufacturers.
