Allwired Technologies Converges on CEDIA

Back in September seven members of the Allwired sales and installation staff visited the CEDIA organization in Denver Colorado. CEDIA (Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association) is an organization that put a lot of emphasis on professional sales and installation by setting fourth guidelines for salespeople and installers.

Our goals for this years CEDIA visit were to certify our install team, as well as look at new product from our vendors. We crushed our goal and have two level one installers, as well as a recent Level 2 installer. As for new products we looked at several control systems as well as lines that would make Allwired more competitive in our market. RTI remotes was an addition that we have already seen success with. This line of remotes and control pieces gives our customers the ability to control their systems and theaters as never before. We have also added and will soon be seeing the McIntosh and B&W lines. These two lines will give us something super to make home theater come alive.

As you can see we are always on the move adding to our staffs education as well as the lines we carry to better our customers.
