NetSpeek is making waves with Lena, the world’s first Language Enabled Network Administrator designed for ProAV and UC networks. Lena automates installation, troubleshooting, and reporting, giving integrators a tool for managing complex, multi-vendor environments. If AI-driven network management sounds like the future, that’s because it is. NetSpeek is bringing it to life.

Centro is all about transforming smart spaces. Whether it’s MDUs, hotels, or campuses, this connectivity platform makes it easier for users to interact with their environment. Integrators get a seamless way to bring multiple technologies together, while service providers and building managers gain a centralized, easy-to-use system for tracking requests, communications, and appointments. Oh and! It’s designed to work seamlessly with Crestron’s ecosystem.

If you’re in HomeAV, Modern Atomics’ Reaktor might just change how you spec power for motorized shades. This power distribution unit reduces up to 99.75% of quiescent current, potentially saving hundreds of kilowatt-hours per year. It’s compact, compatible with major shading brands, and even integrates with green energy sources like Tesla Solar Roof panels. With sustainability taking center stage in AV, this kind of innovation is worth keeping an eye on.

Other standout names in Innovation Park include Q-Acoustics, oomnis, SpectralBot, and Turtle AV, among so many more, all of which are bringing fresh perspectives to the AV landscape. Whether you’re into high-performance audio, AI-driven automation, or next-gen collaboration tools, this is the place to discover what’s next.

ISE has always been about pushing the industry forward, and Innovation Park is making sure startups get a seat at the table. Whether you’re looking for cutting-edge solutions, potential partners, or just want to see where ProAV is headed next, this is one stop you won’t want to skip.
