NTI’s expertise is often largely unseen, but is mission critical for the technology of our lives.

Cabling Infrastructure
NTI provides Structured Cabling Design which comprises a system to support all data/voice/TV communications within the building or through the project site.AV Distribution
Audio Video distribution refers to the ability to host the AV ‘content’ in a central place and distribute it to multiple places throughout a building, around a campus, or across a town or country. The infrastructure design in commercial environments is critical to the reliable delivery of high quality audio and visual signals where they are heard and displayed.CCTV Cameras
Security cameras are often fixed position units that are strategically located to observe entrance and exit locations. Increased security can be accomplished (inside and outside) by using pan-tilt-zoom cameras and/or an audio feed and live monitoring capabilities.Access Control
Access control refers to the control of entrances and exits of a building, parking garage, outside area or secure places within a building. Card readers are most commonly deployed to identify an individual, when the specific identity of the person is necessary. For higher security needsbiometric and retinal scanning technologies are implemented.
Cellular Coverage
In places where hundreds or thousands of people congregate, cellular reception can be diminished or rendered unavailable by "user overload" In these cases, a cellular enhancement system is often the best solution. This might require cellular enhancement or a full DAS (Distributed Antennae System) depending on individual situation. A DAS can also be required where native networks are already pushed to the limits or where service is poor.Meeting Room Systems
Meeting room systems allow management of multiple tasks/systems in a meeting room (boardroom, conference room, ballroom) by using a keypad or touch panel control including the audio volume, projectors, display screens, the video content source, as well as the blackout shading.Conferencing
Video-Conference –Technologies used for video conferencing vary widely depending on the capabilities desired by the facility.Tele-Conference – Tele-conferencing utilizes one or more telephones and/or computers to conduct remote meetings between two or more locations.
Web-Conference – Utilizing the Internet for interactive conferencing events between multiple remote locations.
Wireless Connectivity
The term wireless can be misleading since it actually requires a ‘wired’ connection to work effectively. For example, in almost any large building or campus environment, in order to provide building or campus-wide wireless connectivity, a cabling design must employ Wireless Access Points which tie to the existing Structured Cabling System to provide the required connectivity.Digital Signage
A common application in commercial facilities is that of a visual information display system. This may be comprised of a meeting directory, a displayed agenda with weather and news, a touch screen way-finder, or simple room identification.POS Systems
A Point-Of-Sale system is a means to execute, record and manage cash and credit transactions. Such data collected from a transaction is integrated into accounting, inventory control systems, property management and other systems.Lighting Control
A lighting control system refers to an intelligent, centrally controlledsolution that aligns the lighting in a particular space with that required of the use of the space. Often the lighting controls may be integrated with AV controls. In addition to the convenience of centralized control, a properly designed lighting control system offers the potential for significant energy saving.
Educational Technologies
These systems vary by specific environments, each with the objective of using technology systems to assist with learning at all levels of education, such as K-12 classroom systems, higher education distance learning technologies, and corporate university initiatives. They very often involve a combination of classroom systems and interactive learning systems for remote use.Video Wall
A video wall consists of multiple digital displays configured to present asingle visual, often used as a signature of the facility in which it resides. The content can vary widely depending on objective. For example, it could be a mosaic that accents the elegance of the space, a 3D visual that is a centerpiece of its environment, or even a waterfall with audio to capture the imagination. More sophisticated video walls integrate an interactive component.
