AVI Pro Brings the Building to Life The ICT Architecture is the building’s central nervous system. It’s this technology that allows a building to literally come to life. But it needs to be incorporated into the building’s design from its very inception to ensure the successful day-to-day functioning of the building. I nformation and communication tech- nologies are continually converging and advancing at an ever-increasing rate. It is for this reason that AVI Pro, an expert ICT company, recognised an increasing demand for future-proof, integrated ICT solutions. Architects, consulting engineers and various other important players are acknowledging that there is a very real need for a specialist service provider who can design, amalgamate, and support integrated information and communications technology, and, in so doing, breathe life into a large building. Breaking New Ground Working closely with architects, engi- neers and quantity surveyors, AVI Pro are specialists who manage all information and communication technology needs. By engineering bespoke, state-of-the- art ICT solutions, AVI Pro are breaking much new ground. Designing a pro- audio system that is invisible to the eye but is acoustically engineered to only be heard in certain pockets of an atrium, for example; or, emergency evacuation systems that are compliant, effective, and only evident when required; fully wireless communication, access, and security systems, that use the very latest technology to effortlessly allow day- to-day functioning – all unobtrusively operating ‘beneath the surface’. These are fundamental requirements in the high-tech world of architecture and construction, and just some of what AVI Pro specialises in. Integrated Solutions Since 2010 and after numerous suc- cessfully completed, multi-million Rand projects, AVI Pro has become known as leaders of information and communication technology integration. ICT is the convergence of audio-visual, access and security, emergency evacuation communications, and telephone networks, with computer networks and works through a single cabling, fibre optics, or link system. It is the integrated solution for the complete electronics of a building, bringing with it significant cost savings. And, because it’s a single unified system of cabling and signal distribution, the management thereof is much simpler. Specialising in the design and instal- lation of structured cabling network solutions, AVI Pro’s cable network specialists employ only the best network infrastructure architects and certified installation technicians. By leveraging strong connections with major inter- national brands that operate locally, AVI Pro tailor-makes specialised solutions for all clients – crafting a customised nervous system for each building. www.avipro.co.za A Level 1 BEE company 68 Advertorial
