To many people, the name ADT is synonymous with residential security — much like Coke and soda (or pop if you’re from the Midwest). The company, however, has a $2 billion a year commercial security unit, which is proactively building cutting-edge solutions for business and government customers. At the ADT Media Summit, held May 9-10 in Chicago, ADT presented some of the initiatives it has taken in the commercial space, including its new Integrated Solutions Center, a closer-than-ever partnership with Cisco, implementation of a first-of-its-kind municipal wireless network in a Texas port city, and what ADT and Brivo are doing in the physical and logical security convergence space, among others.
On Tuesday, ADT offered a tour via TelePresence of its new Integrated Solutions Center in Aurora, Colo. The $1.5 million center is designed as a space where commercial customers can see networked solutions in action and discuss them with subject-matter experts. Since opening, the ISC has hosted 15 highly-tailored briefings. For more on ADT’s ISC, read the news article.
