Axis Communications celebrated the grand opening of its newest Axis Experience Center (AEC) in Milwaukee. Showcasing the real-world applications of Axis solutions through both video footage and hands-on demonstrations, the facility serves as an interactive environment enabling enhanced collaboration with partners and customers.

“The Milwaukee AEC highlights both Axis’ global presence and our commitment to being part of the local community,” said Karl Radke, business area director, Midwest, Axis Communications. “With nearly 20 experience centers across the Americas, we’ve seen the tremendous impact they’ve had on our partners, customers and local communities, and they play a vital role in our overall success. The Milwaukee AEC will allow us to work more closely than ever with some of our most important customers, providing ample opportunity to learn from one another and continue our innovation journey.”

In honor of Milwaukee’s heritage, reclaimed Cream City Brick and copper details make up the 7,800-square-foot space, where visitors can also enjoy a Taste of Milwaukee experience featuring local favorites that celebrate the city’s culture and flavor. The facility offers views of Lake Michigan, the Milwaukee Art Museum designed by Santiago Calatrava and the Summerfest Grounds.

The Milwaukee AEC will display the latest innovations that power Axis’s solutions, including its AV1 and ARTPEC 9 chip technology, as well as an IP Speaker Clock.

In addition, this AEC features:

• Quality testing areas, where visitors can see how Axis products withstand extreme conditions, from heat and freezing to IP water testing and IK impact tests.
• Customer video footage highlighting how technology is solving real-world challenges and improving safety and operational efficiency.
• Rooftop cameras that provide a live view of long-range detection across highways and city streets.

Axis representatives, including Keith D’Sa, Nikki Nemarich and Karl Radke, along with customers, partners and local community members, will celebrate the grand opening of the Milwaukee AEC with a ribbon cutting ceremony and champagne toast.
