The SDVoE™ Alliance recently announced that systems integrator Sysconverge Inc.,
based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, has joined the alliance as an adopting member and
is already bidding major SDVoE-based building automation projects for leading
educational institutions and commercial enterprises.

“Our background is in AV design and installation, but today our focus is on “building
analytics’, integrating all building processes, including AV, onto the IP network so that
everything can be supervised, controlled and managed from anywhere,’ said Edwin
Luk, senior consultant at Sysconverge. “SDVoE technology is a natural fit with our
area of expertise, and we look forward to working with the other members of the
alliance to offer our customers uncompromised AV performance and quality
throughout their buildings.’

“Systems integrators are a vitally important part of the complete ecosystem we are
creating in the SDVoE Alliance, which already includes manufacturers of chipsets,
switches, infrastructure, and AV end points and software,’ said Justin Kennington,
president of the SDVoE Alliance. “We welcome Sysconverge as the first Canadian
integration and consulting firm to the party, and look forward to seeing many
successful SDVoE installations from this experienced and well-positioned company.’

All AV distribution and processing applications that demand zero-latency,
uncompromised video can benefit from SDVoE technology, which provides an end-to-
end hardware and software platform for AV extension, switching, processing and
control through advanced chipset technology, common control APIs and
interoperability. SDVoE network architectures are based on off-the-shelf Ethernet
switches thus offering substantial cost savings and greater system flexibility and
scalability over traditional approaches such as point-to-point extension and circuit-
based AV matrix switching.

Sysconverge Inc. offers an efficient way to acquire, disseminate and analyse data to
allow building designers, owners and managers to make better-informed decisions.
Through a systems convergence consulting approach, Sysconverge combines
traditionally disparate disciplines of engineering, information technology, audio visual,
building automation and management to provide clients of all market sectors with
innovative, economical and sustainable solutions.
