IT Networks

We design IT networks that are purpose-built to support high-performance AV systems.

Our Ford AV engineers work hand-in-hand with your IT team to evaluate current capabilities, identify performance gaps, and develop secure, scalable solutions that align with your AV deployment goals. Whether implementing a new AV-over-IP architecture or enhancing an existing network to support hybrid collaboration, our designs are tailored to ensure long-term reliability, robust security, and seamless integration with enterprise IT environments. From bandwidth allocation and VLAN segmentation to wireless density and remote access protocols, we take a strategic, full-system approach to delivering network infrastructure that powers meaningful communication and future-ready growth.
