Highest Levels of U.S. Military Utilize Crestron Control Technology to Collaborate, Strategize and Share Information Worldwide

Rockleigh, NJ, November 18, 2011 – Crestron is providing the United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), the unified combatant command of the United States military, with AV control technology that allows personnel to seamlessly conduct briefings and share critical information with U.S. military all over the world. USNORTHCOM selected Crestron AV control solutions for its ability to meet mission needs via a recent AV system upgrade.

“NORTHCOM requested an integrated solution that provided a consistent look and feel for military personnel, while also upholding the security measures required of the facility,” said Landon Lovett, Crestron Director of Federal Government Markets. “Crestron met the requirements and delivered an easy-to-use interface between information sources and display systems.”

The USNORTHCOM facility features a combination of meeting rooms, an auditorium and smaller conference rooms for military briefings, training, and collaboration meetings. A PRO2 control processor is the backbone of the integrated system, and every room is equipped with a Crestron 12 or 15-inch touch screen. Each touch screen is designed with a similar display interface, giving users a familiar experience as they move from room to room. The highly intuitive system allows authorized personnel to easily select, display and route critical information with minimal training or experience.

“Crestron is proud to deliver intuitive AV technology that helps NORTHCOM conduct briefings and share critical information to military personnel all over the world,” added Lovett. “We understand the specialized needs of government and military agencies and the importance of network security and reliable automation of audio/video technology throughout a facility.”
