Control4 has added additional Pakedge Device & Software routers, switches, and wireless access points to its Recommended Networking Products list. The addition is part of an ongoing Pakedge Alliance Initiative to establish an ecosystem of verified compatible solutions in order to minimize integration and installation issues for installers in an increasingly network-centric AV industry.
“A reliable, high performance network is critical to successful operation of residential and commercial automation and control systems,” said Benson Chan, VP of Business Development at Pakedge. “As Pakedge introduces networking solutions into the marketplace, one of our topmost priorities is to continuously ensure compatibility with major control system solutions so that installers won’t face any issues out in the field.
